“Entertaining, carefully researched. . . . Mr. Danielwicz has it right: The ‘sun has never set’ on Chaminade’s glorious win. Chances are, it never will.”—Fred Barnes, Wall Street Journal
"Whether a reader wants to remember the game, learn what the schools were like before the historic game, or what became of them and the players afterward, this book is a very good accounting of the biggest upset in college basketball history. Readers who like to read about the history of that sport will want to add it to their libraries."—Lance Smith, Guy Who Reviews Sports Books
"Jack Danilewicz's book provides rare insight into what transpired before, during, and after the contest."—Jason Zasky, Failure
“Chaminade beating Virginia is a marquee event in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics’ great basketball history. There should be a statue of Merv Lopes on the campus, and the story of that night should be required reading in Hawaii schools.”—Neil Everett, anchor of ESPN’s SportsCenter
“Nearly four decades after the colossal upset that both astounded and charmed the college basketball world, The Greatest Upset Never Seen provides a front-row ticket to relive tiny Chaminade University’s 1982 takedown of No. 1 Virginia and the towering Ralph Sampson. Jack Danilewicz takes us into the two programs, into the locker room, and onto the court—but also into the minds of many of the key figures. Far more than a recap of the game, [it] also profiles participants of what was an instant classic long before anyone thought to call them that.”—Mike Deacon, veteran Chicago sportswriter of the Daily Southtown and the Chicago Tribune
“I remember this epic game with crystal-like clarity! I was a young Division I assistant coach and this game gave all of us at the mid-major level hope that we too could someday shock the college basketball establishment. Jack’s book is an outstanding look back at a once-in-a-lifetime upset and a must-read for any sports fan.”—David Kaplan, host of Kap and Company, ESPN 1000
