92 was when we should've won. But we got Valentine'd.
Yeah... The Duke game.... But I came across this vid and thought it was great... Especially with Fish.... I could listen to him talk IU bball for hours....
i'm done talking about the 92 Duke game. Just gets me pissed off.
Before I opened the thread I thought you were talking about this year's team lol
We split with the Fab 5 in '91-'92 (their freshman year). We swept them in '92-'93, winning both games by a point. We would have played Michigan both years in the title game, had we advanced.
The 1992-1993 Team would certainly be a worthy candidate. But I would submit that the 1974-75 was a better candidate. and was one Scott May broken bone away from winning it all and going undefeated. Yeah, I know, different time, different game.
The fab five got lots of publicity, but they never won anything. No BIG titles, no NCs. All they got was lots of bling, and pretty good NBA careers. Not bad, but they may have been the most talented team to have won nothing.
I certainly remember that year. Scott had played on our intramural softball team the previous year. He batted left handed and absolutely killed the ball. There is no doubt in my mind that the Hoosiers would have won the NCAA Championship in 1975 if Scott had not broken his forearm. Of course, the evil Boilermakers did it to him.
They had talent, but I'd put Phi Slama Jama above them in terms of talent without winning a title.
Yes, Kansas beat us in the Hoosier Dome in early December, although I'm not sure if Pat Graham played then or not-might have been dealing with an injury. That would have been one heck of Final Four if IU made it. In fact, it would have been all four #1 seeds (Michigan, UK, UNC).
Of all the what if teams anyone has had that was was pretty much a certainty, they were better than the 76 team. I also wonder a lot about 80 if Woody hadn't hurt his back and who knows 82 if not for Landon's accident?
The loss of Isaiah and Tolbert made the 82 title out reach, even if Turner hadn't gotten paralyzed.
Brown was no replacement for Zeke and IU had no one who could provide the same level of play as Tolbert did. He was an absolute beast inside and had an unbelievable motor.
we were in command most of this game although it was close, then failed to score the final 4 minutes and basically gave it to KU. If I remember right, Pat got hurt during the NIT Big Apple Tourney (that IU won)- maybe against FL State. Held during Txgiving break. I think this KU game was a week or so later, maybe early Dec.
Well, really, we should have won in 2002 as well ,,, think we blew a 6pt lead in like the last 4 min. That team was nowhere near 92-93, but it was better than Maryland. I actually consider that a more regretful loss because we had it in control late and should have won.
Yep, I bet, gambled, and won big on both those. I wish I'll ever have that confidence (or money to play with) in IU Bball again in my lifetime
Not at all. We only led briefly around the 10 minute mark. Although the game was relatively close for the most part, I never felt we were in the game. Maryland controlled the game nearly throughout.
