When March Went Mad tells the dramatic story of how two legendary players--Magic Johnson and Larry Bird--burst on the scene in an NCAA championship that gave birth to modern basketball.'A must-read for anybody who considers themselves a basketball fan.'—Michael WilbonThirty years ago, college basketball was not the sport we know today. Few games were televised nationally and the NCAA tournament had just expanded from thirty-two to forty teams. Into this world came two exceptional players: Earvin'Magic'Johnson and Larry Bird.

In When March Went Mad, Seth Davis recounts the dramatic story of the season leading up to that game, as Johnson's Michigan State Spartans and Bird's Indiana State Sycamores overcame long odds and great doubts that their unheralded teams could compete at the highest level. Davis also tells the stories of their remarkable coaches, Jud Heathcote and Bill Hodges—who were new to their schools but who set their own paths to build
