Knight Time Rewind: December 11, 1960
On this day in December 1971, the Indiana University Hoosiers squared off against Adolph Rupp’s Kentucky Wildcats in Louisville’s Freedom Hall. Steve Downing would play the entire 50 minutes of the double-overtime upset victory over the 6th ranked Cats, scoring 47 points and grabbing 25 rebounds — despite nursing a nagging knee injury and not practicing the entire week leading up to the game. Coach Knight characterized Downing’s play as the greatest individual performance of any Indiana game he had ever coached. Go IU!
Double your pleasure…Double your fun!
On a perfectly sunny Saturday afternoon in B-town, the Indiana University men’s basketball team squared away against the Marian Knights of the NAIA in the team’s first exhibition game of the 2022-23 season.
Knighty Knight Time!
Time to reflect back on the beginning of the General’s era in B-town when the resurgence of Indiana University basketball and ascension of the Hoosiers seemingly happened over-Knight. This watch…and rare piece of memorabilia from the 1973 NCAA Final Four marks the beginning of a historic decade of basketball in the Hoosier state.
