As host Doug Hill works his way through a week's worth of Indiana basketball as part of his Around the World in 80 Sporting Events project, we figured it might be a good idea to learn why the game means so much to so many in the state.
To that end, the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame's Executive Director, Matt Martin, joins us in this bonus episode to discuss what basketball means to the people of Indiana.
A native of Knightstown and a Purdue University graduate, Matt shares his perspectives on the state's love affair with the game at the high school, college, and professional levels.
He also lets listener's know what's new and notable at the Hall of Fame, which recently expanded its footprint by 6,600 square feet.
