Hoosier Hysteria is the state of excitment surrounding the state high school basketball tournament in Indiana.
In part, the excitment stemmed from the inclusion of all Indiana high schools in the same tournament, where a small town's David might knock off a large city's Goliath.
Nonetheless, Hoosiers still have a traditional love for high school basketball equalled only by the love for high school football found in Texas and Western Pennsylvania, and Minnesotans' love for high school hockey.

Basketball purists, who have tried for three years to overturn the most controversial move in Indiana high school sports history, can only hope for another round, another time.

Interest in high school basketball has plunged throughout Indiana, and it's not only because of the demise of the winner-take-all format that made Hoosier Hysteria famous.
