The Shot

One final shot leaves one city holding its breath. In this episode of Hysteria, host Judith Thomas (President and CEO of Indy Arts Council and Co-chair of the Local Organizing Committee for the 2026 Men’s Final Four in Indianapolis) relives the unforgettable 2010 national championship game between Butler University and Duke University, where hometown hero Gordon Hayward launched a half-court shot that nearly became the greatest ending in college basketball history. Through firsthand stories from Matt Howard and mascot Butler Blue II handler Michael Kaltenmark, we go inside Butler’s improbable run, the belief instilled by coach Brad Stevens that carried a mid-major to the brink, and the moment that still echoes across Indianapolis. It didn’t go in…but it changed everything.

Undefeated

Indiana football shocked the sports world with a perfect season and a 2026 national championship. But Hoosiers fans have seen perfection before. In this episode of Hysteria, we look back at the legendary Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team of 1976: the last men’s team to go undefeated and win a national title. Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame member Bill Benner talks with players Quinn Buckner, Kent Benson, and Bobby Wilkerson about how Bob Knight built a disciplined, mentally tough team that finished 32–0, capped by a championship win. Fifty years later, the 1976 Hoosiers remain the gold standard, and it’s a reminder that in Indiana, perfection is part of the story.
