Can the culture of Indiana basketball be explored in a single weekend? In Home and Away, we tag along with The Ringer’s J. Kyle Mann as he takes a road trip around the Hoosier State to find out: from Terre Haute to visit the alma mater of Larry Bird and visit with Robbie Avila, Indiana State’s brilliant, bespectacled big man; to Indianapolis for a conversation with Pacers guru Caitlin Cooper about her appreciation for Tyrese Haliburton and a live 'Ringer NBA' podcast; to Bloomington to check in on one of the greatest traditions in all of college basketball. That’s not to mention the colorful characters, bustling arenas, and iconic field houses we’ll encounter along the way. Buckle up.

I love hoops and never was interested in going to Indiana. People were nice. Pacers arena was nice. And the love of hoops is apparent. Maybe I was always supposed to be there???

Thanks for a great video. Next time you’re here, definitely need a Crispus Attucks visit. First all-black team to win a state title in the entire nation, and they did it during the height of redlining, segregation, and Klan violence in Indiana. The next year, 56, they repeated with an undefeated season. The Big O is as historic as any other Hoosier. Love your content!

I just crossed the river from KY and became a hoosier again myself. Visited the Knightstown gymnasium that was Hickory's home court in Hoosiers a couple years ago.

Purdue damn well could win the NCAA Title this year, but they get the "And how about Marla Hooch....what a hitter!" Treatment. Poor Boilers. In all seriousness, I'm glad Caitlin Cooper got a well-deserved shoutout. She's awesome and does a great job teaching folks and showing folks what to look for when watching the Pacers. Now, if Tyrese could just get that Hamstring fully back healthy....that'd be great.

To do a feature about the heart of Indiana basketball and your only Purdue inclusion is a mention of "pooping their pants" is uninformed and lazy. If 5 of the last 7 Sweet Sixteens with 2 Elite 8s is pooping your pants, a ton of schools would die for those results. Yes, there have been a couple of fluky losses in there but that record is hardly "pooping your pants".
