In the words of James Naismith, while basketball was invented in Massachusetts, “basketball really had its origin in Indiana, which remains the center of the sport.” That is made clear year after year when all eyes turn to Indy, where champions are crowned in March.
This year is no different, as both the Horizon League and the Big Ten bring their men’s and women’s championships to the Circle City, alongside the NCAA Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional, seven Pacers games and the IHSAA Boys Basketball State Finals. That’s nearly 50 basketball games over a span of 25 days. The hype surrounding hoops is real in Indy. Don’t miss out on the action.
