WCC cupcakes. Covid canceled their ref season game against Baylor.

They can have their perfect season with one of these: *

Would you have put an * in 1979 if ISU won the championship.

The championship game where Villanova beat UNC on a 3 at the buzzer was a great one as well

Yup. But this gets the edge given OT, the way regulation ended, and that prayer to end it.

My only question now, did the Zags blow their load on this one?

Well they played in a smaller conference but they beat everyone on their schedule so they deserve it.  It is not like IU is the only team to ever go undefeated but just the last.  To me it is not that huge of a deal any longer that we are the last undefeated team.

No one is saying their championship isn’t legit. They’re a very good team. But they play in a terrible conference, which artificially raises their seed each year. They stack their record with easy conference wins. Why haven’t they gone the Butler route and joined a better conference? Do you think they’d go undefeated playing in a P5 conference instead of getting to play Pepperdine, University of the Pacific, Portland, San Diego, etc.? Because I don’t. Call it sour grapes or what have you, but their undefeated season will have an * in my mind due to their weak conference and Covid. They got to play against bad teams for most of the year in empty arenas. That’s far different from what IU did in 1976.

They also didn’t feast on a smaller conference for two solid decades and didn’t have their toughest out of conference schedule abbreviated.

How do you know you said you weren't alive to see the 79 ISU run

If Gonzaga plays like this against Baylor it won’t even be close. UCLA played well but you’re not putting up 90+ on Baylor

Nah. Baylor's D is next level compared to UCLA.

Two very very different teams.

Not saying Baylor wins, just saying it will likely be a very different looking game.

Definitely up there for me.   Purdue/Virginia a couple years ago is way up there as well for me 

That game had it all. Buzzer beaters, boneheaded plays, Purdue getting their hearts ripped out...BTN should make that an Indiana Basketball Classic game.
