Relive the glory days of Iowa basketball when fans shook the rafters in the old Fieldhouse thrilling at the play of All-Americans Murray Wier and Chuck Darling. Later they cheered the school's legendary Fabulous Five, who made two straight trips to the Final Four. And then came the unbeaten Big Ten champions of 1970, featuring the high scoring of John Johnson and the long-range shooting of Downtown Freddie Brown.
Veteran sportswriter Buck Turnbull takes readers back to the controversial beginnings of the massive Fieldhouse, billed in 1926 as the "largest building of its kind in the world." Hall of Fame coaches Sam Barry, Ralph Miller and Lute Olson performed their coaching wizardry there before Iowa teams moved into Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
The thrills continued under Iowa's winningest coach, Tom Davis, with such star players as B.J. Armstrong, Roy Marble, Acie Earl and Andre Wooldridge. Hawkeye fans will treasure this book of basketball memories.
