Friend,

We love basketball — especially Eric.

It’s in our DNA and we know that Hoosiers around the state live, eat, breathe, and dream basketball. Since March Madness is right around the corner, Eric wanted to share some of his favorite moments in Hoosier hoops history. Check out his list below.

Milan Miracle, 1954 - The greatest upset in the history of sports and the inspiration for the greatest sports movie of all time, Hoosiers.
IU vs. Syracuse, 1987 - Keith Smart sealing Indiana University’s fifth national championship is burned into our memory — relive this iconic Hoosier basketball moment.
Notre Dame Women’s 2018 National Championship Run - What’s better than one buzzer-beater in the Final Four? How about two.
IU over #1 Kentucky, 2011 - Every Hoosiers fan knows where they were when the ‘Wat Shot’ happened.
Any Crispus Attucks High School Game from 1954-1956 - Every single high school game that Oscar Robertson played in should be part of this list.
