1992 FINAL FOUR: Duke Blue Devils vs. Indiana Hoosiers

Bobby Hurley and the Duke Blue Devils defeat Damon Bailey and the Indiana Hoosiers in the 1992 Final Four. Duke jumped out to a big lead for most of the game but had to hang on late as Indiana made an improbable surge towards the end. I do not own the rights to this video and do no profit in any way.

[@saunders317]

Duke fans cannot possibly understand the level of obsession surrounding this team in the state of Indiana. 4 of our starters were born and raised in Indiana while Duke might as well be a professional team with their players from all over the country. This Indiana team was made up of champions, and it represented the passion of all Hoosiers. One game doesn't change that.

[@carlmilton]

Duke lost only two games that year and both were when Bobby Hurley had a broken foot. I'd put that Duke team up against any team in college bastketball history. Yet somehow, Indiana fans make it out like Duke could've never won that game without help. That was a great Indiana team but they weren't better than Duke that year. Period.

[@aces12279]

they play 10 times indiana wins probably half the games thats how good Indiana was that year

This Indiana fan would tend to agree with your point. However, the IU team was really peaking, playing near its potential. IU played very well early but Duke responded strongly.

All but one starter for Indiana was fouled out of the game. Personal Fouls called: Alan Henderson - 5 Calbert Cheaney - 5 Damon Bailey - 5 Greg Graham - 5 Chris Reynolds - 4 Matt Nover - 3 Eric Anderson - 2 Jamal Meeks - 2 Todd Leary - 2 In the 1991-92 season the Hoosiers averaged 18 fouls called against them per game while forcing 23 foul calls on their opponents per game. They averaged 28 free throw attempts to 18 for their opponents per game. Indiana was called for 33 fouls to Duke's 18 in this game, with Duke shooting 42 free throws to Indiana's 16. I'm not going to editorialize these numbers for you. You draw your own conclusions.

I have This Game On VHS!

[@MrSandmanJackson]

Notice that at the end of the game Knight barely shook Coach K's hand, choosing to hug someone else.

[@RySenkari]

That shot at the end, if they had gotten a clean steal and had made it before the buzzer, would have been absolutely incredible.

[@walterlv01]

I believe this was the last season where the clock didn't stop after a made basket in the final minute. The ending sequence would have been interesting - Nover's three went through with around 7 seconds still to play but because the game clock ran during the 5-count all they had to do was basically get it inbounds. Back then if you were down two possessions late in the game with no timeouts you had to score with over 5 seconds remaining otherwise the opponent didn't even have to inbound.

+walterlv01 I got curious after reading this post. The last year was 1993, the next year, where the clock kept going. And you're absolutely right. It would have really been interesting if the clock stopped. I do think, however, that Nover's shot was a 2, not a 3. Look at his right toe.

Shows how great a coach Knight was, took a team with less individual talent, plus all the biased refereeing, and almost won.

[@king_supreme1102]

If this was a fair game, IU could’ve definitely won. That team could’ve beaten any team in the nationa that year.

[@superood1]

The NCAA clearly wanted Duke to win this game. The calls were clearly in favor of Duke all night. Bobby Knight and the Hoosiers had no chance of winning this game before it even started.

[@ltzp2]

That not-intentional foul call towards the end? Microscopic foul called against Duke by their center on the Rebound? A bunch of prayer 3s going in and Indiana STILL loses? You can't ask for a bigger chance than that, the game really wasn't as close as the score makes it look

[@trent100100]

and you're forgetting at the end where IU was fouling on purpose too

[@bnegs521]

What do you mean I can't recall a time since coach K has been the coach when they didn't play like that.

[@capitanfuturo594]

COACH K vs BOB KNIGHT !!!

[@kingtyomama6564]

Bobby Hurley was the difference in this game. Tough as nails. There are some games where the fouls are actually made by one team more than the others. I always laugh when fans yell at a ref to "even up the fouls." Would you yell at the players to "even up the turnovers"?

[@thomasbailey7660]

The most bullshit officiating I ever saw.

[@darnelljones1017]

This will be the Monday night championship game this year! Indiana vs duke! Duke wins 73-69!!!

[@MattPsychoMarketing]

Grant hilled fouled out but still played more than all of Indiana players who fouled out except Henderson. Just watch the game. Ted Valentine screwed IU.

[@VitoATF]

Graham should have took that 3 at the end

[@StFidjnr]

@ 0:51 the packer points

[@bnegs521]

Why didn't they give that ball to Leary with 13 seconds left? Dude was on fire! Meeks ugly ass was trying to be a hero.

[@michaelhartman683]

IU got flat out robbed in this game.

[@mrlafayette1964]

maybe just maybe the Hoosiers actually happened to foul more than Duke, could it be? was it really a possibility?..wow what a revelation!!...funny how the losing team ALWAYS gets robbed and their team NEVER commits any fouls and could NEVER EVER foul more than their opponent.

[@carlmilton]

I have, Son...take your IU beer goggles off...

[@BigBlueBri]

If you're not gonna cover, Greg Graham, then I'm lea in' and you fucking guys can run until ya can't eat supper!!!

DEATH TO TV TEDDY

[@solrosenberg3803]

Damn, look at all them white boys on the court!?

[@bobapbob5812]

[@Noname-ni1dy]

Bigot

[@Slimbad1985]

Dam bailey ain't have shit on G.Hill n Bob Hurley

[@mrlafayette1964]

Hurley,26 points,6 threes...a big reason why IU lost..enough of the crying waaaahh

[@slackreviews]

You are dreaming, Duke won't make it past the elite 8 at best.

[@Slimbad1985]

The game where Coach K passed Bob Knight

[@dougwhitaker7229]

Nope!

[@jameshardin1100]

Duke Sucks!

[@tompaulcampbell]
