You can pre-order my book on UConn's run to the 2014 national title now, if you'd like!

The excitement of a new season is upon us, as UConn kicks off its 2014-15 season on Friday at Gampel against Bryant University. Hard to know exactly what to expect from this group of Huskies, as there is plenty of talent and some championship experience, but also a lot of newcomers, a lot of youth, and no Shabazz Napier.

Either way, it should be a fun season to chronicle. But before we get too invested in this season, I want to let people know that I've written a book about UConn's run to its fourth national title, beginning with Kevin Ollie's September, 2012 hire and running right through last April's championship and the events of the ensuing summer.

The book is called Rebound!: The Incredible Story of UConn Basketball's Comeback from Defeat to Dominance, and it is available for holiday pre-orders here and here. (And yes, I get the irony that one thing the Huskies have struggled with the past two seasons has been their ability to "rebound." It's about rebounding from the NCAA tourney ban, recruiting setbacks, Jim Calhoun's retirement, etc., and responding with a title. Get it?)
