That was amazing and will probably never happen again
Pure domination.
Pure domination.
Remember in 1976 when the Big 10 had 3 teams in the FF

I do.
I also remember Indiana winning it undefeated. The only close call was an overtime win over Kentucky, a team that did not even make the NCAA.
They would have done it the year before had Scott May not broken his arm.
Bob Knight has been adamant that the 75 team (undefeated until a tournament loss minus Scott May) was better than the 76 team that did complete the undefeated season. I would assume the Big East and ACC have had 3 of the 4 before?
UK whipped their asses with a boy from Indiana. 92-90 in Dayton. Joe B. Hall's biggest win.
In fact I know that because Joe told me that last summer. It does not matter that UK was not 100%.

You sure Bert? He tried to play, but logged 7 minutes. That's first team All-American Scott May. Oh, and Kentucky won by 2.
Thank God it won't happen again. Rock fights are bad for ratings.
he played 7 minutes with a broken arm. The ass kicking was earlier in the year when IU beat UK by 20 and May scored 24 with 15 reb.
Did I say that Scotty did not play? You discount all the great UK teams that had kids not playing. Only IU's loss counts.
Who went to the final four? Indiana?
What happened the next game?
You can talk all you want, but Joe B. Hall owned Bob Knight. Sorry dude!
Yeah indiana can say the same about injuries. Joe B was no Bob Knight. hell, JoeB is no Rick Pitino. Joe B Hall lol.
Joe B. was 8-8 vs Knight. MOF, Joe B's. first win vs Knight came in that 1975 Regional Final.
Bert, c'mon now. "whipped their asses"? 92-90 is whipping someone's ass?
During Joe B. at UK and Bob K. at Indiana Joe B. won, turd head. It is a matter of fact.

Please note that the games in March count. Joe B. has two and Bobbie K. has not one damn win. EAT YOUR HEART OUT.
So who is best? My personal friend Joe B. is best when it counts.

Hell yes. IU was undefeated and number one.
92-90 was an ass whippin'.
Kentucky was not supposed to be in the game.
Who went to the final four?
Damn, a 2 point victory is an ass whooping. Who would of thunk it?
Not to my eyes, but they (the eyes) are old!Bert...Isn't it obvious?

16 games vs Knight. 8 wins, 8 losses.
Kentucky wasn't supposed to be "in the game"? UK was ranked 5th. IU was w/o their All-American. I mean, Bert my friend. C'mon, brother.
Joe B. didn't coach at UK during the 85-86 season. That was Mr. Sutton's first season.
Knight did have a win vs Hall in the NCAAT; March 17th, 1973. Regional Final. IU won 72-65.
Bert my man...You are slipping, brother.
The game before IU beat the crap out of UK and Bob slapped Joe in the back of the head. IU was supposed to win big.
I mean, sure---If IU would have had a healthy Scott May. He played 7 minutes vs UK in the Regional Final. With a cast. With him 100%, IU wins. Easily. With him----IU won 98-74. Without---IU lost 92-90. Not exactly rocket science.
Steve Grote missed the front end of a 1 and 1 against Indian at the end of their regular season game. He makes both and they would have beaten Indiana during the regular season.
If wishes were horses then beggars would ride.
This what is Schitt blows my mind. If half the UK team in 1966 did not have the flu then Texas Western would have lost.
GEEZE.
I'll recall this next time an injury occurs with UK. I know you hate Indiana. I get it. Lots of teams can lay claim to injuries costing them: Yes, even Kentucky. I did not know UK was so sick, as a team, in 1966. MOF, never saw, nor read that. Interesting. But irrelevant. Indiana, with Scott May, was a juggernaut. He averaged 17ppg and 7 rebounds. All-American. In IU's win vs UK , May had 25 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. In 32 minutes. In the Regional Final, he played 7 minutes. Scored 2 points. With a broken wrist.
Look, if you cannot see the impact of not having him, then it just shows your inability to be reasonable. Hell I'd be the first dude to tell ya that if Derek Anderson doesn't get hurt, UK wins the title in 1997. I have little doubt in that. But as I said--I get it. Understand it. Some cannot get past a rival. Or the hate. But hey, I still love ya brother.
I not only see, but I understand the impact that Scottie May had on that game. But you forget that UK has similar stories many times also. So winners don't use that as an excuse.
Joe B. Hall was the assistant coach on that 1966 team, in fact he was the reason that UK was in the final game. Joe B. Hall is my friend. We spend many, many hours in a car going to see players. I know a bunch of shit about UK that no Indiana fan would know. The Flu hit UK. Because you don't know means nothing. They were hurt with the flu.
But it does not matter.
Derek Anderson did not play in 1997 game, but the reason he did not play was Pitino's damned ego. He, Pitino, thought that he, UK, could win without him. That is Rick's fault. Pitino was gone the next year and that was good because he would have lost in 1998 also.
Excuse? Losing an All-American isn't an excuse---Its a reason. An excuse is saying , "well we shot bad----and you shot well". Or, "If we would have hit our FT's, etc, etc..."..Or, and one I am sure you are familiar with---"the officials". I find it difficult in taking a lecture on "excuses", from a fan base that uses them quite frequently. Especially good at blaming the officials for a multitude of loses. Those my friend, are excuses.
Losing your second leading scorer, best player, All American, isn't an excuse. Its a reason. A very good reason. And it played a huge role in Indiana losing that game.
Hall owned Knight. I did not know.
This is way the game should be played every year. You can throw rankings out the window in a rivalry game.

I love ya, Bert.
...You set for the Holiday's? Wife is out finishing now---But then again, she's been saying she almost finished since the 1st of November.
Knight was 8-8 vs Hall. Both had dominant runs, vs the other. Of course its no guarantee IU beats UK, with May. But I'd sure would've liked our chances.

It is torture. Yesterday I went to get to food at the Campbell Lane Wal Mart and came back home as there were no shopping carts available. I was not about to get into that mess. Instead I went the the local IGA.I love ya, Bert.
I am not ready, so I got to figure out something in a couple days and do it.
Post Script: Thanks for being such a good person.
