The Perfect Game: Villanova vs. Georgetown for the National Championship

THE PERFECT GAME VILLANOVA vs. GEORGETOWN FOR THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP By Kyle Keiderling FOREWORD BY JAY WRIGHT Award-winning sports biographer, Kyle Keiderling, takes readers behind the headlines of the greatest upset in NCAA Tournament history. The revealing portrait of the coaches and players that took part in the stunning 1985 Villanova upset of defending champion Georgetown University is a compelling “Cinderella” story. On April 1, 1985, Rollie Massimino’s Wildcats clawed their way to victory over John Thompson’s Hoyas in a “game for the ages,” and stunned the basketball world. The author takes you behind the scene for the story of two coaches from two different backgrounds and styles who matched wits and strategy in a nail biting chess match in Lexington, Kentucky, for the national title.
