The Indiana Hoosiers managed to overcome the UNLV Runnin'
Rebels in the unforgettable 1987 Final Four match-up. Joe
Hillman, former Hoosier Six man, sheds light on the contrasting
strategies that played out on the Superdome court. Joe will share
unique insights, revealing how IU's press defense was
instrumental in controlling UNLV and their two-dimensional
attack.

basketball. We'll explore the impact of the three-point line and

implementing an efficient offense and robust defense, we'll walk
