Also nice to see someone else saying what I've been bitching to people about for years - that yes, Milan was tiny and it's one of the greatest upsets of all time, but it was a really great fucking team.
And there is Milan memorabilia all over the place. Milan High School was Hickory, but much better than the film portrayed. The Indians were state runners-up in 1953, then were a dominant team the next year. Before winning the '54 state title over Muncie Central 32-30 on a last-second shot by Plump, their average winning margin was 15 points per game, and they beat Oscar Robertson's Indianapolis Crispus Attucks team by 13 in the quarterfinals.
