I was just using him as an example of the difference that coaches can make, as he was the most obvious example to me. As for the first round loss last year...well, I didn't follow the team, so I really can't say much about that, but every team has those games where they're just off. It happens and sometimes things just don't click. I just think that this tournament has been good for Davis because he has some big shoes to fill by following Knight. If IU can win the championship, it might cause some disenchanted Knight supports to warm up to Davis and the IU program again.

That is exactly what I meant also and I agree!

I'm predicting an all Big 12 final game! OU vs. Kansas part 3
Other "rival" conferences made a laughable appearance in this tournement.

They certainly did! That'll teach Maxim to say we suck!

And if I hear one more comparison to the KU-OU title game of 1988, I'm gonna scream. How can you compare those two games when neither school has any of the same players, coaches, or athletic directors? They're the same teams in name only! Get over it!

That's actually not nearly as bad as some of the comparisons you get during the football season... I recall this year when OU went to the Cotton Bowl they kept comparing the Arkansas-OU championship game from I believe the mid 70's...

I guess it's because the sports media needs a lot of 'filler' and 'trivia' because they don't have a lot to talk about when the game is not actually ON.

Yay Hoosiers!!!!!! They've had such a great post-season. I really hope that they can win the championship. IU has be in the final game 5 times and they've never lost. Let's hope that they can keep up that record.

Of course the other so called rival conferences are in the final game.

Kansas, 2 point favorite
Oklahoma, 7 point favorite, both gone

If Indiana can have another unreal shooting game like they have the past two games, they might beat Maryland but md has looked very solid all season.

DGPhoney · #68 03-31-2002, 01:37 AM

I must have totally missed this thread! Anywho, I am with Maryland all the way, like someone mentioned before they have been a solid team all season, I mean Juan Dixon, work it out, is the man, prime example would be tonites game. GOOOoooo TERPS!!!!!!!

beating a fast pace team like KU, one more to go!
GO TERPS!!!!!

Bob Knight: 3-0 all time in championship games

Mike Davis: 0-1 in championship games

A good run falls short for indiana

I'm pretty sure Bob Knight's Hoosiers won 4. Also, I thought it was amazing how last nights game seemed to be a repeat of Saturday's with the Hoosiers getting the short end of the stick. a close game all night, and then really losing it in the last 10 min.

Despite all of the school spirit and such, was it just me or what that one of the worst played championship basketball games in history?
