Steve Green connects the eras of IU basketball like few others... from meeting Everett Dean, to attending the camps of Branch McCracken, to being Bobby Knight's first ever Indiana recruit. Greeno scored almost 17 a game for the team many consider the greatest in college hoops history, and his gift for hitting buckets might only be surpassed by his talent for telling great stories.

Hoosier Hysterics! - MIKE DAVIS Oct 15, 2019

Show notes

Humble beginnings gave way to great achievements for Mike Davis, a man whose considerable talents were eclipsed only by his hustle and dedication to the game. First as a player, then as a coach, hoops took him all over the world before he finally, unexpectedly, landed in Bloomington. Davis soon found himself thrust into the national spotlight, taking over a historic program from a ousted coach whose legend would be impossible to follow. Listen in as Coach Davis reflects on how he overcame tragedy and hardship to reach the very pinnacle of college basketball, leading the Indiana Hoosiers on an magical run to the Final Four.

Hoosier Hysterics! - STEVE DOWNING Oct 08, 2019

Show notes

After going undefeated and winning state their senior year, the dynamic duo of Steve Downing and George McGinnis headed south to join a struggling IU program led by Coach Lou Watson. Two years later, Watson was fired and McGinnis jumped to the pros, leaving only Downing to join forces with the intimidating new coach, Robert Montgomery Knight. Downing not only survived, he thrived, posting some of the most ridiculous, jaw-dropping stat lines ever produced by Hoosier, all the while leading his team to a Big Ten Championship and the Final Four.

Hoosier Hysterics! - TYRA BUSS Oct 01, 2019

Show notes

Tyra Buss arrived in Bloomington as the most heralded recruit in the history of IU Women's Basketball. Four years later she graduated as the program's all-time leader in scoring and assists, hanging a banner while making good on her promise to fill Assembly Hall. Tyra is, quite simply, one of the greatest players... male or female... to ever wear an Indiana jersey.
