Description
Book SynopsisOn March 6, 2001, the top two women's college basketball teams in the US, UConn and Notre Dame, played what was arguably the greatest game in the history of the sport. When UConn's Sue Bird hit a twelve-foot pull-up jumper at the buzzer in the Big East Tournament championship game, it marked the end of an epic contest.
