It's been 40 years since #MarchWentMad and Indiana State University was put on the map by Larry Bird and the great Sycamores. This is our tribute to those who brought the national spotlight to Terre Haute.
A legendary welcome home was held in 1979 as the team arrived home from Salt Lake City and the Final Four. There were 5,000 people at the airport, the streets of Terre Haute were lined and the Hulman Center was packed. It led Brad Miley to famously wonder after he had seen 10,000 people at the airport and along the street if there was anybody left to be in Hulman Center for the welcome back celebration.
