To tell this story, Feinstein follows a handful of players, coaches, and schools who dream, not of winning the NCAA tournament, but of making it past their first or second round games. Every once in a while, one of these coaches or players is plucked from obscurity to lead a major team or to play professionally, cementing their status in these fiercely passionate fan bases as a legend. These are the gifted players who arenP#39;t handled with kid gloves--theyP#39;re hardworking, gritty teammates who practice and party with everyone else.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;With his trademark humor and invaluable connections, John Feinstein reveals the big time programs youP#39;ve never heard of, the bracket busters you didnP#39;t expect to cheer for, and the coaches who inspire them to take their teams to the next level.
