It’s a good idea. Or at least a good enough one. In a state that loves its college basketball perhaps more than any other, getting the state’s four top programs together for an annual summit seems like it should work. It seems like common sense.
And for the most part, it has worked. Now seven iterations deep into Morgan Burke’s idea to revive the old Hoosier Classic of days gone by, it’s provided a boost to college basketball in the state, provided another marquee non-conference game for programs involved, generated a nice chunk of cash for the universities, and provided some can’t-miss moments — some good, some bad.
