In 1976 Paul Tash, then a senior at Indiana University, experienced something that’s eluded every other college student nationwide ever since: being at a school with a men’s basketball team that delivers an undefeated national championship season.
“It was magical,” Tash says. “That team was just such a treat for the whole university. When they won the championship by beating Michigan for the third time that season, in the final, there was exhilaration, of course. But I also felt a little sense of letdown. The quest was over. And I knew as well that my own time at Indiana was coming to an end.”
