Steve Bouchie, the 1979 Indiana Mr. Basketball who won national title at IU, has died

Steve Bouchie, who won Indiana's Mr. Basketball award at Washington High School in 1979 before joining Indiana University for its national title run in 1981, died Sunday afternoon in Evansville.

He was 59. His son Carey Bouchie confirmed the news.

Bouchie suffered a heart attack over the Fourth of July weekend and was brought to Ascension St. Vincent for treatment.

He was enshrined in the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009, honored for his stellar career. 

In 1979, Bouchie became the first of four Indiana Mr. Basketballs from Washington, later to be followed by the Zeller brothers -- Luke, Tyler and Cody -- in bringing hoops fame to the Daviess County city. The Washington Times Herald noted that in his senior season, Bouchie averaged 27 points and 15 rebounds per game, and was named a Parade Magazine All-American.
