Indiana vs UCLA - 3/28/1992 West Regional Final

In this classic IU basketball game, the Hoosiers face off against Don MacLean and the UCLA Bruins for a trip to the Final Four. The Hoosiers started off the season by getting blown out by UCLA in the Hall Of Fame Classic in Springfield, MA. There would be a far, far different outcome to this game.

[@DominickT1]

RIP Eric Anderson. He was awesome in this tournament.

[@douglascarlson9006]

He actually played out of position all four years at IU ... he was not a center, he was a "4" ... Anderson had a brief stint with the Miami Heat ... I worked with a guy who went to HS with him here in Chicago ... My friend said he once asked him "who was crazier - Knight or Pat Riley" ... Anderson said "without a doubt - Riley"!

[@Darthhoosier]

This just feels like an EVENT in ways the tournament doesn't often achieve these days.

[@RonnieLeeDuck]

Thanks for the video. If you want to watch textbook Bobby Knight basketball. This is a good game to watch.

[@bfan6032]

Ted Valentine robbed IU of a 6th banner

[@Jay-im8jn]

Absolutely!! Terrible calls especially in the 2nd half against Duke, he literally changed the outcome of the game.

[@JZ2001JC]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mightymacdiesal12]

Love how Coach Knight always squatted in front of his bench while his players were introduced. A subtle sign to show that it was about his players, not him come game time. This was Indiana motion basketball, not to mention tuff man to man defense at its best. Coach Knight could coach. No doubt

Did Eric Anderson pass away?

[@Jay-im8jn]

Yes he did.

[@jamellshaw2167]

UCLA couldn't score on offense so they just stopped playing defense they gave up far to easily nobody truly showed up the Bruins

[@dickmagee4887]

I thought he would've been a good nba player . I liked him at Indiana

[@indianahoosiersfan1970]

Thank you for what you did for IU, Eric.

[@singvang1247]

Nice of Ricky Roe to show up in the second half...Also, you can tell that Knight LOVES...I mean LOVES Quinn Buckner.

[@beowulf3303]

Awesome team and awesome coach and Indiana has not been the same!! Indiana should be in the tournament every year!! There is a major problem with the administration!! I don’t even want to watch anymore and that really sucks!! Are we or aren’t we on the friggen NCAA bubble!???!? Fire them all and burn this ridiculous situation down!’

[@scotthines4891]

That was a great Indiana team. Too bad TV Ted Valentine cheated them in the next game.

[@josephsheridan4198]

Knight dominated Harrick here, nothing more to say. I will give Harrick credit for moving on from this game and winning a title 3 years later in ‘95 (Ed O’bannon and Tyeus Edny) ...this Indiana team gelled at the right time and easily was good enough to win this tournament ...I’d also like to mention that the addition of assistant coach Norm Ellenburger was such a big part of the Indiana teams success in the early and mid 90’s

[@michaelhartman683]

They got robbed the next week against Duke.

[@chrismorfas7515]

UCLA scored 50 points in the second half. IU scored 62.

[@chrismorfas7515]

Guess who is UCLA's all-time leading scorer? Don MacLean. Yes, he played four years to Lew Alcindor's three, but still. I guess I would consider MacLean a 2nd-rate Laettner, a blend of skill & jerk. MacLean averaged 18+ ppg for four seasons, very impressive. This game was his chance to enter the national consciousness by making it to the Final Four. Don, meet the Indiana Hoosiers.

[@douglascarlson9006]

UCLA actually played IU early in that same season and UCLA beat 'em by double-digits ...

[@chrismorfas7515]

@@douglascarlson9006 Sure. In the Knight era, all the Nov-Dec games were treated as preparation for the Big Ten conference games. Winning pre-conference games was secondary to developing a group of players who could play Knight’s way.

[@douglascarlson9006]

@@chrismorfas7515 Yes Chris, I definitely agree ... Knight was not afraid to lose games early in the season for this reason. And Don Mclean was not a top-level talent - not by a long shot ... but Chris, I'm 70 and I was there for the UCLA dynasty in the 60/70s ... it was awesome and you probably missed it ...

[@brianarbenz1329]

@@douglascarlson9006 MacLean's whiney attitude was so disliked by Bruin fans in his early years there, they called him "Don Complain." He grew up and had a fine senior season.

I loved this game because UCLA did a lot of talking before this game. They had no respect for IU. Eric Anderson who was in this game passed away recently RIP.

Gawd, I still enjoy this ass whipping by IU. And what a classless jerk MacLean was. Soon as they fell behind he loafed up and down the court, watch him on defense. Guaranteed, the NBA scouts noticed this immediately.

[@vivahernando1]

Well they will be in the B1G soon

[@cubswin3838]

Prepared to get your ass kicked, UCLA! OFFENSIVE PERFECTION!

[@chrismorfas7515]

This IU team had as many very good players as just about any. Cheaney, Henderson, and Bailey are among IU's all-time greats. Graham and Anderson were very good. We fans didn't worry when Nover, Reynolds, or Meeks was playing. 8 really solid players right there. Very few IU teams had that many.

[@michaeld5]

I always thought the '92 team was better than the '93 team mainly because of the depth it had with Anderson and Meeks. They missed Anderson's inside presence a lot the next year....especially in the two games against Kansas.

[@slpguy6026]

If anything Graham was better than Bailey. He’s in IU’s top 10 all time scorers. Could easily argue he was the #2 man on the team.

[@gregoryphillips3969]

Great points, to me Indiana should have won the national championship that year. UCLA was in over their heads here.

[@chrismorfas7515]

@@slpguy6026 Graham was wonderful; he improved so much during his time at IU. Bailey arrived at IU nearly a finished product. Bailey likely accumulated greater career stats: Bailey 8th all-time scoring; Graham 14th Bailey 5th all-time assists with 474; Graham 304 Graham 4th all-time steals; Bailey 10th Bailey 466 career rebounds; Graham 412 Miss them both!!

How in the hell did Bob knight ever win anything w/ 1/ONE(!!!) legit NBA player/Isiah Thomas in 40 years. He has got to be the greatest coach ever. Think Coach K would win ANYTHING if he had Knights' players? I'll answer:NO.

His name is Ed O'Bannon. And no, the NCAA being assholes about paying players for the use of their likenesses is why there weren't. But EA is bringing NCAA Football back, because they're gonna microtransaction you to death like with Madden. But don't blame someone for wanting what they are worth stupid.

[@moochercat]

One strange thing, although I'm clearly old enough to remember this, is that the broadcasters showed us the time remaining and score only at their discretion. I jumped ahead to about a third of the way in and after watching for at least 3-4 minutes I had no idea how much time was left before the half or the score. Why did it take so long for them to figure out that the audience would like to know both at all times? I suspect it wasn't until the late 90's before the viewer got this convenience.
