The gym used to film ‘Hoosiers’ volunteers to host the 2020 Final Four

As of publishing this post on Thursday morning, the NCAA tournament is still on, but with no fans attending.

On Wednesday, NCAA president Mark Emmert said that they’re looking into a possible change for the Final Four, which is supposed to take place in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium — which would be cavernous without fans in it — and have a smaller venue play host.

That could mean the games could be played at Georgia Tech’s home, McCamish Pavillion, which would make sense if the NCAA is still trying to keep the event in Atlanta.

But when Dan Patrick Show executive producer Paul Pabst suggested Hoosier Gym — the Indiana court in Knightstown where Hoosiers was filmed in 1985 and preserved — the gym’s Twitter account stepped foward:

Again: after the NBA suspended its season, it’s possible the NCAA does the same with the tournament or cancels it altogether.

But if there’s a relatively safe situation where the Final Four could be played there? That would be really cool.
