"A Century of Orange and Blue is just that - an in-depth look at the history of the University of Illinois' basketball program. Award-winning journalist Loren Tate and up-and-coming scribe Jared Gelfond recount 100 years worth of basketball tales within these pages by way of thorough season-by-season summaries and vibrant flashbacks to Illinois' greatest games. In the winter of 1906, the University of Illinois varsity basketball team netted the school's first victory in its debut game, a 71-4 win over Champaign High School. Some 100 years later, the Fighting Illini have hoisted 16 Big Ten championship banners and sent four teams to the Final Four. Over that century, Illinois has played host to its share of stars - from Johnny "Red" Kerr and Andy Phillip to Kendall Gill and Brian Cook. A Century of Orange and Blue chronicles their success stories while unveiling the 20 members of the Illini's "All-Century Team." Over 100 former and current players and coaches contributed their favorite recollections in discussing the history of this proud program. From the Whiz Kids of 1942 to the Flyin' Illini of 1989, the cast of characters in A Century of Orange and Blue comes alive thanks to a surplus of fond memories of fabulous teams and fantastic finishes. For years, the rallying cry at Illinois games has been a boisterous call and response: ILL-INI. For both longtime fans and newcomers to the Orange Krush, there is finally a book dedicated to Illinois basketball that can respond to that call - a book that can match the intensity of a packed house at Huff Gym, the exhilaration of a Kenny Battle dunk, or the swift pace of a Dee Brown fast break. A Century of Orange and Blue provides a gateway to the past. All the orange-clad fans have to do is enter." - from the inner front jacket flap.
