Description:"Captures what basketball meant to Hoosier players and fans in the '40s and '50s . . . [a] nostalgic journey through a simpler time when basketball was king." --Steve AlfordThe years 1945-1959 marked the time when basketball truly became the sport of Indiana.

It was a time before the massive consolidations of the 1960s and '70s, with more than seven hundred teams involved in basketball tournaments.
