IndyStar: 3 Inches From The Greatest Basketball Story Ever Told

Gut Wrenching. I remember sitting with my infant son in disbelief that Butler had made a Final Four. Time stopped when Hayward's shot went up, I will always remember everything about that tournament. The smugness of Syracuse, K-State, Murray State pushing us to the wire, standing outside of Hinkle in the cold rain waiting for the team to return after beating K-State, 30K in attendance for the Butler open practice on that Friday, etc.

I'm sure it's well written since it's Keefer, but I have absolutely no desire to relive this. A lot to be proud of for sure, but the title alone just feels like a knife twist.
