MUNCIE—March 22, 1997, 20 years ago. The day the music died in Indiana.
The Bloomington North Cougars climbed the ladder as history-makers that night in the RCA Dome, cutting down the nets as the last stand-alone state basketball champion Indiana would ever see.
Ahead lay a four-class tournament that would deliver more trophies and more celebrations. But the price tag was less magic. Among the things lost that day was the chance to be Cinderella.
