Question from a non-hoops aficionado:

What ever happened to Indiana?
Weren’t they world-beaters under Bobby Knight?
Seems like I don’t hear much ‘bout those kids any more.
Am I wrong?

I'm not sure what happened because they haven't been relevant in my lifetime. Only made it out of the first weekend 4 times since I was born, and I'm almost 25

They fell off after Knight was ran off and just had a bad string of coaching hires. Sampson getting in trouble hurt any post-Knight momentum. They tried too hard to hire the anti-Knight after the fact.

I do think eventually they’ll be alright under Miller but he’s going to have to set up a fence around the state again (especially Indy) to keep those guys home to get it done. The Romeo Langford experiment went poorly for them.

Indiana only has 2 more Final Four appearances then Arkansas and 1 came after Nolan retired. However, they made the championship game in 6 of their 8 appearances, and won 5 of them, compared to our 1.
