Not the full game. That team was fun.

 

I wish someone had that full game.

Way too many on my list but when I saw the title of this thread I instantly thought of the game against LSU in the 87 tournament.  

I watched this game last night and I am still wondering how we won that game.  LSU had everything going for them.  Dean Garrett went on lock down in the 2nd half.  None of those LSU players went on to anything in the NBA.

You and me both. Good teams figure out a way to win games like this. Knight went off on the scorers table. lol That was a fun year to watch IUBB.

I know it's an IU game thread but I'm submitting a non IU classic game.

...as if the anticipation wasn't enough, you had to pull this out.

I was at this one. Great game. Great atmosphere—obviously the whole town was for Butler but so were the other two schools fans, most notably a couple WVU good ol boys who were giving the Duke fans hell. That last shot was about an inch away from being the greatest shot ever.

My grandma and I use to talk about that shot all the time. I saw a video not too long ago that did like some physics equations on the shot and all this other math stuff really good.

Not a good ending for the Hoosiers but the game v pUKe where Mo Creek went for 31 points was a highlight in a bad season. Gave fans some hope that brighter days were ahead. Such a tragedy that he got injured and never reached his potential

Long live Maurice Creek. All-time name too.

The injury he had oh what could have been.

I sound like a broken record...man I miss this team.  The heart alone was enough to will a B1G championship.  Freakin' Shockers that year.  This was about the only full game '15-'16 I could find.

I swear the last non IU classic I will submit. *shots fired*

I loved watching this team.  OG, Juwan, Zeisloft, Biefeldt, Hartmann.  Troy could be a wreck at times but his athleticism was off the chart.  Then of course Yogi and Bryant.  It was great watching them beat UK in the tourney that year.

There was a ton of identity on this team.  UK win was awesome!  I watched while on spring break in Florida.  Walked to a local sports bar that was pro-UK.  I relished every single minute of that game.
