Oscar Robertson, Jack Twyman, and the Cincinnati Royals. The University of Cincinnati and Xavier University of their annual crosstown shootout, one of the crucial nation’s great rivalries. Legendary coaches like Mary Jo Huismann and Bob Huggins. The longest game in college basketball history (seven overtimes!) and the creation of long baggy basketball shorts. The venerable Cincinnati Gardens and the Armory Fieldhouse. These are just some of the people, places, and events within the colorful history of basketball in Cincinnati. Cincinnati Hoops is the tale of basketball in an American city. The heritage of basketball in Cincinnati has never been fully revealed, and this book tells your entire story from the game’s arrival within the Queen City to the current, exploring the cultural and social history of the game. The role of women, segregation, amateur, and collegiate basketball, and the big business of the pro game are all documented in over 200 classic images.
