Final Four Records, 1939-1991: The History of the Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, Including First and Second Rounds, Regional, and Tournament (NCAA FINAL FOUR RECORD AND FACT BOOK)

Obviously a labor of love, this statistical record covers just about everything anyone would want to know about the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament. It even includes crowd attendance records going back to the first playoffs in 1939. However, it is strictly a statistical record. The only historical background is provided in a single paragraph stating that the tournament began in 1939 and giving the dates for when sports statisticians began collecting particular statistics. The charts given for each year's playoffs are useful and the photos are well chosen. However, the print is somewhat small. Purchase where there is interest in Division I college basketball.
