Product details

"Miracles on the Hardwood: The Hope-and-a-Prayer Story of a Winning Tradition in Catholic College Basketball" by John Gasaway chronicles the remarkable rise and success of Catholic college basketball programs. The book highlights how smaller Catholic schools like Villanova, Georgetown, Gonzaga, and Loyola Chicago have consistently challenged and outperformed larger, more powerful basketball programs over decades. Starting from Villanova’s early success in the first NCAA tournament in 1939 to the dominance of teams like the San Francisco Dons in the 1950s, Gasaway traces the evolution of these programs through intense rivalries and championship moments.
