The most famous basketball tournament in the history of college basketball is the Big Five. And the Big Five was played in the most hallowed halls of college play: the Palestra. Now, for the first time, a complete story of this Philadelphia rivalry is revealed. Robert Lyons offers the story of the Big Five from its very beginnings in 1955. At that time, many of the Big Five schoolsLa Salle University, University of Pennsylvania, St. Joseph's University, Temple University and Villanova Universityweren't even talking to each other, and everyone predicted the tournament would end before it began. Conducting interviews with coaches and playersincluding famed Temple coach Harry Litwack's last interview before his deathLyons offers the playbyplay on how the Big Five became an institution, and how it was ultimately undone by college basketball's own success. Lavishly illustrated with photographs of players, teams, coaches, and the Palestra itself, Palestra Pandemonium is an immediate classic, offering a chronicle of the most monumental college basketball tournament.
