Thanks to this Twitter post by the SportsCenter account, it has come to my attention that today is the 23rd anniversary of IU's championship-winning shot by No. 23 Keith Smart. On March 30, 1987, Smart's 15-foot pull-up against Syracuse lifted Bob Knight and the Hoosiers to a 74-73 victory and the program's fifth national title.
Here is a little write-up from ESPN.com, as well as a link to an interesting 1987 New York Times story about Smart.
