From Mike Vaccaro's column this morning:

Matthew Goodman has written as good a basketball book as you’ll read. “The City Game: Triumph, Scandal and a Legendary Basketball Team” tells the story of CCNY as well as New York City at the dawn of the 1950s. And while you’re at it, when you’re done with this, dust off Pete Axthelm’s “City Game,” too, which is only the best basketball book of all time.
 
I'm about 75% though Goodman's The City Game. It's been excellent so far. Primary focus is on CCNY and their scandal after winning the NIT & NCAA in 1950 but it covers a lot of NYC college basketball at that time, including St. John's.
