O knihe
The Butler Bulldogs advanced to the NCAA National Championship basketballgame against Duke University upon defeating Michigan State on April 3, 2010. Withonly 4,500 students, Butler was the smallest school to play for a nationalchampionship since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985. Coached by BradStevens -- just three years into his position as head basketball coach -- theundefeated Bulldogs were a hometown team, playing before a hometown crowd on thenational stage. Two days later, Butler lost narrowly to Duke, 61--59, but their runfor the championship had become a national phenomenon. From her vantage point as aButler professor, acclaimed writer Susan Neville observed (and participated in)Hoosier Hysteria firsthand. In Butler's Big Dance, she intertwines her recollectionsof the events with interviews, anecdotes, and photographs to bring readers a tasteof the on-campus and courtside excitement of the Bulldogs' David-and-Goliath bid forthe national title.
