Description

Indiana University basketball fans love their five national championship banners that hang so proudly at Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana. They wish there were more. There should have been. "Missing Banners" takes a look back at five seasons where Indiana could have won national titles but came up just a little short for one reason or another.

"Missing Banners" is written by award-winning sports writers Tom Brew and Terry Hutchens. The pair went back and interviewed dozens of former players, coaches and school administrators, plus opposing players and coaches and media members to help you relive five fabulous seasons of Indiana basketball.

The years covered in great detail are 1975, 1980, 1993, 2002 and 2013, all season where Indiana was either ranked No. 1 in the country at some point in the season or played in the national championship game (2002). The book is loaded with never-before-told stories from days gone by and is filled with honest and often heartbreaking rememberances from past IU players and coaches.

It's a must-read for Indiana basketball fans of every age, especially since is spans five decades and some of Indiana's greatest players and teams.
