Was a really good, fun, self-coached team. Combo of NBA talent and hard-working college players . You couldn’t guard Hornsby, Fife, & Coverdale at the same time. One of em was bound to burn you every time down the floor.
A team full of RMK trained players supercharged by Jeffries and were no longer worried about making mistakes. But in the very last game the needed a game coach and didn’t have one.
This was in immensely good Illinois team - they were Final 4 quality. NOBODY expected a blowout. I don't know if an IU team has ever played better against such a good opponent.
There were many IU teams of the past that had great shooters, but I don't think there has ever been an IU team that had so many great shooters that could score 20 points on any given night by shooting threes. Fife, Moye, Coverdale, Hornsby, Odle could all bury you. I remember the tournament game against Oklahoma State that year and how they did about the same thing to them on their way to the championship game. That was a great team.
All I can say is.............did you see last night1-27-11? Do you remember what coach K said after his last visit to Bloomington? Do you remember Vital's comments? Been to Assembly hall when the toiletmakers were there a few times, I have attended MANY games there, AIN'T NO PLACE LIKE IT
I remember watching the UCONN @ ARIZONA game while this was on. Emeka Okafor blocked the potential game winning shot. Wow this is a shooting display Indiana put on. Im not a hoosiers fan, however I do like Tom Crean alot so best of luck.
@phen0men0n you really dont wanna go here . purdue was topped by butler and notre dame last year for national attention. if iu puts good product on floor now u go to 4th most interesting program n state. win a big game

Self-coached my ass. You can have all the respect for Knight but not belittle Mike Davis' accomplishment that year.
As The Old Man in A Christmas Story proclaimed: "It's Indescribably Beautiful!"
I cannot believe how loud and raucous and crazy and wild Assembly Hall is during this game. Goodness Gracious.
Newton's dunk sends chills down the spine.

This is probably my favorite video on youtube.

Anyone besides me notice that the best play by play AND the GOAT color guy are doing this game...GUS JOHNSON and BILL RAFTERY = GOAT COMBO
NO place like Assembly Hall when it's rockin'
The REAL assembly hall

This is what happens when you have shooter combined with aggressive inside play.
Bill Self got his revenge against Indiana this past weekend.
