College basketball history was made in Bloomington, Indiana, under head coach Bob Knight and players such as Scott May, Quinn Buckner, Kent Benson, and Tom Abernethy.
I listen on a small radio in my bedroom to this game. I was ten years old! I looked out my window,and couldn't see hardly any cars on the street that night. I was so excited,and nervous. That's the night I started following sports. The next team I fell for were the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then on to present!!!
U see this smile from knight. As he aged for some reason he didnt smile like that ever. His record was great in his earlier years. His kids went to class. He was a serious man... dedicated to his trade.
I grew up in this era. “Hysteria” is legit. Kids like myself were called inside for “The Bob Knight Show”. I was a pissed little kid when we lost (should’ve beat) UK. I still consider myself the biggest IU fan to never be fortunate enough to go to IU. Thanks to my mother.
Very interesting this is the last season for the the ban on dunking in college and high school. Over the next two years it changed so many things at both levels. Not to mention viewership...
it is now 46 years later and no one has done what the 1976 Hoosiers did....wow
My gosh the what if? if May didn't get injured in 75. Hoosiers went 63-1 in back-to-back seasons.
Us old Hoosiers know the 75 team was even better. Wrong injury. Wrong time.

The 1975-76 Indiana team was like a machine
When Bob Knight unfortunately passes away I hope ESPN finds him black him enough to put first in their line up of topics to cover that day.

Greatest NCAA Basketball Div 1 team EVER, PEROID.
Like QUINN BUCKNER said "They STILL tryin' to catch us." LL BMK!
A hopes that one day will return to it's glory. I believe big change is coming with Woodson, and eventually, Dane Fife.

That game had a lot of hype Indiana vs UCLA in St Louis in the season opener
Not trying to be all old school but damn .........good time for ball!!!!!
If Larry Bird would have stayed at IU would he have been on this team?
The team from the season before was actually better.
