Top IU Starting Five Since You Remember Watching IU Basketball

Lewis was mentioned in the post above yours


Sent from my place of advanced, analytical thinking: the toilet.

Only like one other person mentioned him though.

 

With younger posters with lists that are just 1997 and up it's kind of surprising to see the all time assists leader not even on the bench.

Yeah I seen Lewis in those 2 after I put my guys in. Just didn't read far enough obviously. Way to call me out though lol

I thought the same as well. The last best team I could remember was 91-92 season. That was the year Henderson went down and we lost in elite 8 to Kansas (I remember Rex Walters). I was only 10 at the time

If I'm wrong I know I'll hear about it here

I'm pretty sure that year was 92-93. The 91-92 team lost in the Final Four to Duke in Anderson's senior year. That's the first team I kind-of remember.

It just hit me, I vaguely remember going to an exhibition game when IU had Bailey, Leary and Pat Graham.  I can't remember what year it was so I can't remember everyone on that team but I do remember those three (I was a young kid, got their autographs).  Does that count?  If so I need to edit my lineup.

For me, I barely remember watching Guyton, and less of Lewis. The main team I can actually remember games was Kirk Haston's last year, which is why he was my favorite player for awhile. I always tried mimicking his game in the drive way.

I remember Guyton well.  I was watching the game where Lewis threw an inbounds pass off an Iowa player's face because he was crowding the line, my dad laughed and said "that'll teach him to back off the line".

That's probably what it was, they stopped at a local high school down in southern IN.  I'm wanting to say it was South Spencer.

God I'm old! I was torn between Tolbert and Zeller. Also really wanted to put Buckner in for the other point guard. I never got to see Bellamy or McGinness play for IU

The one I remember was at Floyd Central.  I had my back to the court while the team was warming up.  My mom was going to take a picture of me and Damon Bailey saw it.  Someone said something to him and next thing I know I had a picture with Damon.  He was my favorite Hoosier growing up.

[HoosierAloha 30,020]

I also watched Michael Lewis drop like 45 on a New Albany team that made it to state finals that year.  Dude could straight ball.

I had autographs from Bailey, P. Graham and Leary but lost the Bailey autograph.  I went to his bball camp once and he signed a few things for me, an 8x10 he was giving to all kids at the camp, a card from a 1993-1994 Hoosiers set and a basketball.  That basketball was also signed by Calbert Cheaney that day too, and that Bailey/Cheaney signed ball is one of my favorite items aside from an 8x10 that RMK signed to me when I was a kid.

I always liked seeing anyone drop 45 on New Albany! Ha!!! SONA lol

<br /><br />That NA team was stacked and probably should have won state. They had one of the Whitehead brothers that should have played at the high major level but couldn't keep his nose clean. They also had Chad Hunter that I watched from the time he was in elementary school. <br /><br /><br />Sent from my sarcastic iPhone using BrownBanners<br />

The day after that game, when I was a kid, I was playing on my nerf goal and my mom walked in the room and I screamed "Michael Lewis!!!" and threw the ball off her face lol that's the most vivid memory I have of him
