Larry Bird and ISU's Undefeated 1979 Season
Send us a text 1979 marked a pivotal year in basketball history, with Larry Bird leading the Indiana State Sycamores to an undefeated regular season. Before this, Bird remained relatively unknown, despite his exceptional talent. The national broadcast of the Sycamores' game against Wichita State, championed by individuals like Rex Lardner and Al McGuire, brought Bird's skills to the forefront. This game, a resounding victory for Indiana State, solidified their position as the nation's top team and marked the beginning of Bird's legendary career. The rising popularity of college basketball coincided with a decline in the NBA's appeal, possibly due to factors like drug issues and a lack of a dominant team. Bird's captivating journey, from his early days to his national recognition, is a testament to his hard work, resilience, and undeniable talent.

Larry Bird's Silent Season
Send us a text This week, we take a look at the media frenzy surrounding basketball star Larry Bird during his undefeated season at Indiana State. Bird's refusal to engage with the media created a unique challenge for Ed McKee, the school's sports information director. McKee was inundated with requests from various outlets, from major publications to niche magazines, all eager to speak with the star player. However, Bird's silence forced McKee into the uncomfortable position of denying these requests. Indiana State President Richard Landini recognized the extraordinary nature of Bird's talent and supported his decision to avoid the media. Landini understood that individuals with Bird's abilities are rare and deserved respect for their choices. This situation highlights the delicate balance between a player's right to privacy and the public's desire for access to celebrated athletes.

1979: The Season that Ignited a Basketball Revolution
Send us a text The 1979 college basketball season was a pivotal moment in the sport's history. It was the year that two future NBA legends, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, first faced off in the NCAA championship game. The game was a clash of styles, with Michigan State's fast-paced, high-flying offense led by Johnson's passing going up against Indiana State's deliberate, disciplined approach anchored by Bird's shooting and rebounding. Michigan State won the game in a thrilling finish, but Bird's performance solidified him as a star. The 1979 season also marked a seismic shift in college basketball. The Big Ten Conference was finally stepping out of football's shadow, and smaller conferences like the Missouri Valley were now in the spotlight. The NCAA tournament, which was limited to two teams per conference, had incredibly high stakes. This made the atmosphere electric and packed the arenas, creating incredible battles and controversial calls. The 1979 season set the stage for one of the most iconic rivalries in sports history. Johnson and Bird would go on to face each other in the NBA Finals three times, with each player winning two championships. Their rivalry helped to bring the NBA back into the mainstream and paved the way for the sport's massive popularity today.

Two Nights with The War on Drugs and a My Morning Jacket Encore
Send us a text This episode of The Anxious Rambler podcast focuses on the host’s recent concert experiences seeing The War on Drugs for two nights in Ohio and Kentucky and a solo trip to see My Morning Jacket in Savannah, Georgia. The hosts begin by talking about their road trip to Columbus, Ohio, the first stop on their concert adventure. They discuss the enjoyment of driving into a city at night and listening to music and their excitement about the upcoming shows. The host shares that, other than a previous two-night stint with The War on Drugs in Louisville and Indianapolis, this is her first experience attending back-to-back shows by the same band. They also talk about their positive impressions of Columbus and Cleveland. The first concert took place at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. The host recounts the beauty of the venue, located in a national park, and its history as the summer home of the Cleveland Orchestra. They go on to describe The War on Drugs’ setlist, noting standout songs and moments. The setlist included “Oceans of Darkness,” “Pain,” “Ocean in Between the Waves,” “I Don’t Want to Wait,” “Harmonious Dreams,” “Strangest Thing,” “Come to the City,” and “In Reverse.”. The host shares a story about reconnecting with a former coworker, Lane, during the show. She describes how she thought she recognized the woman sitting in front of her but couldn't believe it was actually her. They hadn’t seen each other in 16 years. Lane later turned around and told the host she had been talking about her on the way to the show, specifically mentioning how much the host loves The War on Drugs and wishing she had more friends with similar taste in music. Next, the hosts talk about the second concert, which was at the Bourbon and Beyond festival in Louisville, Kentucky. The host compliments the festival’s side-by-side stage set-up and voices her distaste for VIP sections at shows. The setlist for this performance was similar to the previous night's but with the addition of "Red Eyes," which was played instead of "Strangest Thing," and the covers "Play It All Night Long" and "Under the Pressure." It started to rain during the last two songs of the set, a phenomenon that the host believes is a regular occurrence at outdoor War on Drugs shows. Due to her enthusiastic dancing and energy , the host is dubbed the "fan MVP" by other concert attendees and even manages to score a copy of the setlist. The final part of the episode focuses on the host's recent trip to Savannah, Georgia, where she saw My Morning Jacket with her best friend from home, Shaie. The host describes becoming emotional upon hearing that baseball legend Pete Rose had died just before My Morning Jacket took the stage. Rose, a Cincinnati Reds player and an important figure in the host’s family, had even recorded a Ca

In a fun twist, we'll be doing a draft where each of us picks our top ten singers, but there's a catch: we only get the songs they performed. Listen in as we banter, strategize, and perhaps get a little competitive over our musical choices. Who will make the cut for our desert island discography? Tune in to find out and join the conversation! I feel like Cassie won this round with bonus points for originality but text us your list or comment on the YouTube Playlist below.

Led by the legendary Coach Bob Knight, the Indiana Hoosiers took home the NCAA Championship that year, marking one of the most memorable seasons in the history of Indiana basketball. The journey to this victory was not a conventional one. Bob Knight, known for his intricate adjustments and coaching techniques, was at the helm. His initial skepticism of the three-point shot, a relatively new rule change at the time, and his ability to adapt his strategy based on this rule change played a significant role in Indiana's championship run. The players' journey was equally unique. Key players like Keith Smart and Dean Garrett made significant contributions to the team's success.

Behind the scoreboard : Analyzing The Final Four game between Syracuse and Providence 1987
Send us a text The 1987 NCAA basketball season will forever be remembered for the iconic Final Four clash between Providence and Syracuse. This match, a pivotal moment in NCAA history, saw Syracuse making a surprising shift from their typical zone defense to man-to-man, a tactical switch that played a crucial role in their victory. As we dissect this legendary game, we delve into the various elements that influenced its outcome. Syracuse's inside game, led by players such as Sherman Douglas, was robust and hard to match. The team's dominance was evident in their control of the game, but we also examine how the type of basketball rims in the dome could have potentially impacted the game's result. Basketball rims? Yes, you read that right. One of the key talking points of this episode is the NCAA's somewhat puzzling decision to use hard rims for the final four. A fiery debate ensued on how this choice might have influenced the match, giving a unique insight into the often overlooked technical aspects of the game. As for Providence, their decision to stick with their zone defense proved costly. They failed to adjust to take advantage of Donovan's shooting ability, leading to a scoring deficiency. Additionally, we scrutinize their press strategy and the consequences of their Cinderella run coming to an end. The episode doesn't shy away from controversy either. We delve into the repercussions of a technical foul and a physical altercation that shockingly went unpunished. These incidents were not only pivotal moments in the game, but also raised questions about the officiating and punitive measures in NCAA basketball. Overall, this deep dive into the 1987 Final Four game between Providence and Syracuse is a must-listen for any NCAA basketball fan. The episode provides a comprehensive analysis of the game, exploring not only the tactics and strategies used but also the influence of external factors and decisions made off the court. As we time-travel back to this unforgettable NCAA matchup, we are reminded of the beauty and complexity of basketball. The sport is not just about shooting hoops; it's a strategic game where every decision, no matter how minor it may seem, can drastically alter the course of a match.

Georgetown 1984 | When the Hoyas became heroes and the champs
Send us a text John Reagan - Georgetown Basketball History Project Pioneer Press Georgetown 1984 - https://19nine.com/blogs/news/the-pioneer-press-georgetown-1984 19Nine Hoya's Gear - https://19nine.com/collections/georgetown-university In the early 1980s, an unlikely program commanded the nation’s college basketball consciousness. An elite, exclusive Catholic institution in the nation’s capital better known for churning out attorneys and politicians and with nary a trace of hardwood pedigree was suddenly at the center of the college basketball universe. The Georgetown Hoyas’ relentless and assertive brand of basketball, carefully choreographed by a Black coach in John Thompson and an all-Black roster, made them heroes in inner cities around the country and a target for a mostly white media. And unapologetically, Thompson did it his way and became the first Black basketball coach to win an NCAA title when his Hoyas defeated Houston 84-75 in Seattle’s Kingdome on April 2, 1984. “I know I’m going to upset some people, but I can live with that,” Thompson said in a 1984 interview.

Kentucky’s Denim Blue Shorts
Send us a text This is 19nine SHORTS, a fast break-styled lesson in hardwood history. On their way to the 1996 NCAA Championship, the Kentucky Wildcats sported one of the most distinctive uniform kits in modern NCAA basketball history – the so-called “denim blues.” Though the Kentucky denims now land a spot on nearly every credible list identifying the top Wildcat uniforms of all time, the novel look was not so enthusiastically received upon its debut in 1996. In fact, it was almost universally panned. In this inaugural edition of 19nine SHORTS, The Chucker, 19nine’s resident historian, explains how these now-treasured uniforms came into existence and the less-than-savory response they received.

To talk about the Bulldogs’ memorable March Madness run, we’re joined today by two rotation players on that team – Whit Hughes and Bart Hyche. A 5-11 freshman on the 1996 squad, Bart played in 31 games that season, including all five of the Bulldogs’ NCAA Tournament games. Whit, meanwhile, was a 6-5 sophomore forward who played in all 34 contests for the Bulldogs’ Final Four squad.

Jeff Hurd | Former WAC Commissioner | Keith Van Horn, Larry Bird Stories and More
Send us a text Today we’re going to talk with retired Western Athletic Conference commissioner Jeff Hurd about where college hoops has been and where it could be going. Jeff spent nearly 5 decades in college athletics, beginning with a stint as the sports information director at the University of Tulsa before serving as the director of public relations for the Missouri Valley Conference. The Missouri grad spent his last 37 years, however, with the Western Athletic Conference, the last 10 as its commissioner, and in that time the WAC might have undergone as much change as any Division I conference. Jeff joins us today to discuss his memories of the Missouri Valley Conference, when a Larry Bird-led Indiana State team charged into the national title game in 1979, to his favorite college basketball moments over the last 40-plus years before we get his thoughts on the future of college hoops amid major changes in the collegiate athletics landscape.

Cameron Mills | Kentucky ‘96 Denim | National Champions
Send us a text Welcome to the 19nine podcast. In this episode we take another deep dive into Big Blue Nation and University of Kentucky hoops, this time with two-time NCAA champion Cameron Mills. The son of former Kentucky Wildcat Terry Mills, Cameron grew up in Lexington, starring at Dunbar High before shunning D1 scholarship offers and matriculating to Kentucky in 1994 as a walk-on for the Wildcats and head coach Rick Pitino. Today, we’re going to talk with the 6-3 sharpshooter about his journey to Kentucky and the first of his two national championship teams at UK – the loaded 1995-96 squad that featured 9 – that’s right, 9 – NBA players. That dominant Kentucky team went 34-2, culminating with a 9-point win over Syracuse in the title game.

Kyle Macy | Kentucky Wildcats | National Champions | NBA, Coaching and More!
Send us a text In the University of Kentucky’s illustrious basketball history, Kyle Macy inherits a prominent place – and spawned a generation of boys named Kyle in Kentucky. Indiana’s Mr. Basketball in 1975 while playing for his father Bob at Peru High, the 6-3 point guard was a three-year starter for the Wildcats after spending his freshman season at Purdue. Macy helped the Wildcats capture the 1978 national title, breaking a 20-year drought that likely felt like a century-long drought to Big Blue Nation. When Macy’s collegiate career closed in 1980, he had a resume to rival any Wildcat: three All-American nods, an SEC Player of the Year award, and two SEC titles in addition to the 1978 national title. He left UK as the program’s all-time leader in assists and 12th on the Cats’ all-time scoring list. A first-round draft pick of the Phoenix Suns in 1979, Macy played seven seasons in the NBA. He was inducted into the University of Kentucky Athletics Hall of Fame in 2005 and the Wildcats retired his #4 jersey in 1997.

Mark Vershaw | Wisconsin Badgers | Creating a Tradition | Constant Underdogs
Send us a text In March 2000, the eighth-seeded Wisconsin Badgers rushed through the West Regional, defeating Arizona, LSU, and Purdue to claim the Badgers first Final Four appearance in more than 59 years. Though the Badgers Cinderella run ended with Final Four loss in Indianapolis to Big Ten foe and eventual national champ Michigan State, that Wisconsin squad helped elevate the Badgers, long a middling Big Ten program, into a March Madness regular.. Wisconsin would make the Big Dance every year over the next 17 seasons, including two additional Final Four runs under Bo Ryan. Today, we’re going to discuss that memorable Badgers run with the team’s leading scorer, 6-9 forward Mark Vershaw, and seek to understand how an 8-8 Big Ten team, one that never cracked the AP Top 25, one that didn’t feature a single all-conference selection – not even an honorable mention nod – defied the odds and captured a spot in the Final Four.

What did you think of the documentary? - It is halftime of a Big Ten game against Minnesota last month and Indiana is trailing by six. Coach Bob Knight, not a happy Hoosier, locks his team out of the locker room. It is up to Hillman, a senior with five years’ experience of dealing with such predicaments, to keep the situation under control. Indeed, the eyes of a dozen teammates show that they are counting on him to do so. -With Mugsy Bogues the Author of Dunbar Boys said he was able to dominate a game with his leadership.

Indiana vs. Michigan State 2001(Changing of the guard and a Kirk Haston Miracle)
Send us a text 19Nine Classic Michigan State vs. Indiana January 2001 Recorded: 28 December 2020/10:00 PM GUESTS: Aaron Meyer, Josh Barnett David Wilkinson Set the Scene (Knight talking on Dunn Meadow then Play Audio from Haston talk about Knight) The whole scene was eerily similar to the last time the Spartans played in Assembly Hall. The Hoosiers made a quick putback with half a second left to give IU an 81-79 victory Feb. 26. Until Sunday, it was the last time Michigan State had lost. The Spartans reeled off 23 consecutive victories. "This was a lot like last year, but this is better," Fife said. "It's a little more exciting that last year's tip-in because Michigan State is No. 1." On paper, the Spartans (12-1, 1-1 Big Ten) entered the game as the superior team. They lead IU (10-6, 1-1) in nearly every major statistical category during the season including scoring, defense, rebounding, turnovers and shooting percentage . Michigan State arrived at Assembly Hall on Sunday with the No. 1 ranking, an unbeaten record and the nation's longest winning streak. Kirk Haston's buzzer-beating 3-pointer changed all that ."It's a big win for us, that goes without saying," said Haston, who finished with 27 points. "To be the only team to beat this team, and we beat them two times in a row pretty much, and they're one of the best teams in the country if not the best team in the country, it's a big win for all the past players here and all the players on the team." "I didn't want to go to overtime," he said. "If we missed the shot, we missed it." Thousands of fans -- many of them IU students -- stood in the bleachers screaming. Sophomore guard forward Jason Richardson led the Spartans with 15 points. Richardson missed the front end of a one-and-one with 29 seconds left. Sophomore guard Tom Coverdale grabbed the rebound and called a time out. Two missed shots, two fouls and three free throws later, the Hoosiers called a time out. In the huddle, Davis told his team to run the play "23 Special," which would give either Hornsby or Haston a three-point look. "When I let it go, I couldn't see it because Randolph was in my face," Haston said after the game. "It felt good when it left my hand. When it went through, the first thing I did was look up at the clock, and I saw all zeroes. Then Coverdale tackled me -- along with the student body."

UMass vs. Georgetown 1996 Elite 8
Send us a text UMass - https://19nine.com/collections/university-of-massachusetts Georgetown - https://19nine.com/collections/georgetown-university Links https://youtu.be/RU-qVcG9yBY 1 https://youtu.be/VQrzqSM2pss 2 https://youtu.be/AJOuXDf44xc 3 https://youtu.be/ycGyB0uq1oc 4 The '95-96 UMass Minutemen clued the nation in on their secret at the beginning of the season when they defeated #1 Kentucky 92-82 to start a run of 26 consecutive wins. The secret? John Calipari's squad was really, really good. So was Marcus Camby. The junior center poured in 32 points, grabbed 9 rebounds and blocked 5 shots. It would remain a theme as the season went on with Camby leading the Minutemen to a #1 ranking, a #1 seed in the East Region of the NCAA Tournament. Once there the Minutemen survived a scare from Stanford to reach the Sweet 16 where they destroyed 12-seed Arkansas to set up an Elite 8 showdown with Allen Iverson and the 2-seed Georgetown Hoyas. As it turns out it was only a showdown on paper as UMass cruised to a 14 point win and a trip to the schools first Final Four. Camby won several National Player of the Year awards for averaging 21ppg, 8rpg, and nearly 4 blocks before declaring for the NBA Draft where he was selected 2nd overall. “He was the difference on the team. Marcus is the one that got us to that other level. If anybody turned this program around, it was Marcus.” -Carmelo Travieso, Starting Guard Support the show Support the Pod or Binge the Entire Season Now! https://www.buzzsprout.com/1269236/support https://youtube.com/@IconicSeasons Connect on Social https://www.instagram.com/ncaaiconicseasons/

Five Star Basketball Hardwood History at it's Best
Send us a text Five Star Guest: Peter Robert Casey, Alejandro Danois, Karl Blum Host(s): Josh Barnett & Aaron Meyer Founded in 1966 Five Star for generations was known to basketball insiders, people involved with the game, as one of the showcases for outstanding players of the future. Over the years, many of the greats have come through Super Garf’s doors — names like Michael Jordan, Isiah Thomas, Christian Laettner, Grant Hill, LeBron James and on and on. They also have worn the famed orange Five-Star shirts and Shorts. Today we look back at some of that history but also dive into the bright present to talk about the new stocking stuffer Bookazine and Five Star Gear perfect for completing holiday gift giving… Before we get deeper lets introduce everyone (Josh) Ali Danois : Wrote essentially the entire Five Star magazine and also authored “The Boys of Dunbar” which was made into a 30 for 30 by ESPN.

Stories from the Starters (The Chucker interviews former WCC POY Casey Calvary)
Send us a text Guest: Casey Calvary https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/casey-calvary-1.html Host(s): The Chucker Around the turn of the century, Casey teamed with the likes of Richie Frahm, Matt Santangelo, and Dan Dickau in leading the Zags to three consecutive NCAA tournament appearances. That streak continues today, as Gonzaga has made 21 straight trips to the Big Dance, a mark only bested by Kansas, Duke, and fellow 19nine school Michigan State. Casey was the 2001 West Coast Conference Player of the Year and followed that up with a professional career in Japan, France, Australia, and Spain. 19nine excited to have Casey here to reflect on that run and Gonzaga’s ascent as a premier college basketball program. Take The Kennel, your home court, off the table. What’s the coolest gym you played in? Team you least enjoyed playing? Team you took great pride in beating? Most impressive opponent? (a specific player who impressed) Most overhyped guy you played against? Guy you’re most surprised didn’t carve out a more successful professional career? One Gonzaga teammate described you as a mellow dude off the court, but a guy who would run through his own mother to get a rebound. How accurate is that assessment? Coach Izzo at Michigan State plays the accordion. What’s something people would be surprised to know about Coach Few? At 19nine, we recently released the Gonzaga’s 1999 shorts as well as the Zags’ 2001 joints. Which did you prefer?

Pistol Pete Biographer Marshall Terrill
Send us a text On today’s podcast The Chucker interviews Marshall Terrill, co-author of Pete Maravich: The Authorized Biography of Pistol Pete, a 2007 biography of the legendary LSU hoops star. This coincides with the 19Nine Launch of LSU Maravich, who still holds the NCAA’s career scoring leader despite playing only three seasons at LSU, remains one of the game’s most iconic and celebrated figures. The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame labeled Maravich “perhaps the greatest creative offensive talent in history,” but the basketball genius’ off-the-court story, which includes his sudden passing in 1988 at the age of 40, is arguably as intriguing and nuanced as the tale he wrote on the hardwood. Terrill and The Chucker cover it all in this wide-ranging interview. Terrill is a prolific author who has penned more than 25 books, including biographies of other gone-too-soon icons. His latest book, STEVE McQUEEN: In His Own Words, will drop in November.

Feel for the Game
Send us a text Josh talked to North Posey head coach Heath Howington about coaching philosophy and gets into the new venture he's part of, Feel for the Game. Feel in basketball is sometimes hard to identify. Hard to quantify. It is more than just looking at assists and turnovers to determine if the player can understand who is open and who is not. A feel is the ability to slow the game down, to understand not only what is happening, but also what is going to happen next.https://feelforthegame.com Support the show Support the Pod or Binge the Entire Season Now! https://www.buzzsprout.com/1269236/support https://youtube.com/@IconicSeasons Connect on Social https://www.instagram.com/ncaaiconicseasons/
