1992 FINAL FOUR: Duke Blue Devils vs. Indiana Hoosiers

[@adamani08]

[@uncklebuckle6859]

These were two really evenly matched teams. It should have been one of the great games ever. Sadly, the officiating influenced the outcome and all we remember is Ted Valentine's misconduct instead of what would have been a historic battle. Just a shame.

[@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

[@RegionRatForever]

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.

[@dustinlee6277]

Bobby Knight was an abusive basketball coach.

[@king_supreme1102]

Both teams were great. They play ten times I think each would win half of them. Duke was not clearly better than IU that season.

[@jasonorning4732]

I was at this game - the back half of the '92 Final Four! There have been very few games in NCAA Tournament history that had the hype this one generated beforehand. To this day, I haven't seen a coach tear open the officials the way Coach Knight did during the second half - and that was during a timeout. Too bad the title game was a dud - Duke cruised against the Fab 5. Thanks for putting this up on KZbin...

[@phoslurperr]

Indiana got screwed, just like UK the game before. Amazing they almost were able to win despite all the bullshit phantom fouls throughout the game. The 1992 Championship was a gift to Duke.

[@mikem591]

There was something odd about the Duke win against the Running Rebels the year before.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

Meeks had a great look to tie with 15 seconds left. That's about as good as you can get under the circumstances. Just didn't go down. Amazing that IU was even in the game playing 5 on 8.

@teddyboy3120 Ted Valentine has admitted in interviews that he was sticking it to Indiana and Knight with his reffing. He threw the game and got away with it.

[@dell5862]

Pathetic, everyone watch the game from the beginning, keep track of the fouls called and the fouls not called on both teams. The results are they did not call the same touch fouls on Duke that they called on Indiana. Indiana was not going to win that game. Very sad!!!! Watch the game play by play and you can tell something is going on.

[@DouglasHenry-v9f]

IU got their referee-revenge a couple of years later when Rip Hamilton clearly fouled Boozer after a missed free throw by Jason Williams in the final seconds of an NCAA tournament game. Those of us from Tobacco Road are quite familiar with “Duke gets all the calls”.

[@tperkins17]

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.

Blatant and known animosity between night and the official, and one official is old that's needed to dramatically impact a game especially when it comes to fouls. Look at the foul disparity, especially earlier in the game. They wanted Duke to get through, and Valentine certainly didn't want Knight to get through.

[@ujohnlynch2341]

@teddyboy3120 Indiana was on the verge of blowing out Duke late in the first half and early in the second half until the officials called seven fouls on Indiana in a five minute span, putting Indiana's two best players on the bench so Duke could make its run.

[@ujohnlynch2341]

@teddyboy3120 Indiana was up double digits late in the first half. Duke couldn't stop them. The only reason Duke caught up and took the lead was because the officials began calling fouls left and right on Indiana while letting Duke get away with bumping and hacking. Indiana's best player, Damon Bailey, was called for two fouls in a four second span barely two minutes into the second half. After the second one, he was hacked going up for his own shot. Official Ted Valentine, who disliked Knight, immediately called a technical on Knight. At the next TO Knight asked another official why he was called for a T, "What did I say?". The other official said Valentine called the T because the Indiana bench jumped up after seeing Bailey get hacked on his shot with no foul call. That's biased officiating.

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.

[@jeffb4034]

+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.

I was furious after this game, but I've gotten a bit more philosophical about it over the years. The stat every announcer pointed out that season for Indiana was "they make more free throws than their opponents attempt." Even if you don't buy into the theory that the refs "stole" this one from Indiana, the Hoosiers finally encountered a team that got more respect from the officials than they did. And that was the game, for all intents and purposes.

Here's a couple of assessments of this game. Both teams play the exact same motion offensive sets. The difference is that Duke was more aggressive than Indiana.
