One final shot leaves one city holding its breath. In this episode of Hysteria, host Judith Thomas (President and CEO of Indy Arts Council and Co-chair of the Local Organizing Committee for the 2026 Men’s Final Four in Indianapolis) relives the unforgettable 2010 national championship game between Butler University and Duke University, where hometown hero Gordon Hayward launched a half-court shot that nearly became the greatest ending in college basketball history. Through firsthand stories from Matt Howard and mascot Butler Blue II handler Michael Kaltenmark, we go inside Butler’s improbable run, the belief instilled by coach Brad Stevens that carried a mid-major to the brink, and the moment that still echoes across Indianapolis. It didn’t go in…but it changed everything.
