Has anyone ever watched the actual title game Hoosiers is based on? It’s included on the special edition DVD.

Anyway, I watched it with my son last week. Some observations:

1. Apparently, back then a bonus foul was just one free throw. 
2. Milan (aka Hickory) inexplicably held the ball for minutes while trailing late in the fourth quarter. Of course, they still won, but what the what?
3. The above was after Muncie Central made a second half comeback. I’m not sure what the Milan coach’s strategy was other than to let it happen. 
4. The music is fire. 
5. Spike Lee said the movie is racist because the opposing team in the championship game has black players, which wasn’t the case in real life. Turns out Lee is wrong. They did have black players.

There were some other quirks with how the game was played back then, but like I said, it’s been a week. And I also drank a D-8 seltzer with dinner.

Anyway, it’s probably on YouTube if you don’t have the DVD.
