Indiana football shocked the sports world with a perfect season and a 2026 national championship. But Hoosiers fans have seen perfection before. In this episode of Hysteria, we look back at the legendary Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team of 1976: the last men’s team to go undefeated and win a national title.

Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame member Bill Benner talks with players Quinn Buckner, Kent Benson, and Bobby Wilkerson about how Bob Knight built a disciplined, mentally tough team that finished 32–0, capped by a championship win.

Fifty years later, the 1976 Hoosiers remain the gold standard, and it’s a reminder that in Indiana, perfection is part of the story.
