Indiana missed the 2010 NCAA tournament, as did six of the Hoosier State’s other nine Division I men’s basketball teams, but the 2010 tourney was a showcase of the state’s rich basketball history.
At the time, eight different venues in six different cities across the state had hosted at least one tournament game, including the brand new Lucas Oil Stadium hosting that year’s Final Four, the sixth Final Four hosted by Indianapolis. Three of the state’s 10 teams reached the 2010 tournament and combined for seven wins, five by Butler, who played two Final Four games six miles from their campus.
