Bobby Knight v Dale Brown

I believe Knight said it differently. I think he said something to the effect that he thought Indiana was going to lose the game until he looked over and saw who was coaching LSU and he knew, right then, that they still had a chance to win.

I always thought that was a pretty stupid statement to make. He's got the loaded #1 seed and he almost bones the shite out of that game against a 10 seed without their superstar (Blanton was out due to injury). The fact that he "outcoached" Brown as he perceives is debatable.

The Boat
Simply BS


The game change was mainly on non-calls of clearly 2 techs by Bobby Knight. Ever in the history of the ncaa see a coach not get called a tech for throwning the game phone? The second one of him leaving the coaching box and stompping onto the floor has been a non-call before, but very rare.

That changed the way the game was called by the refs which causes Brown to change the way we played.

Watch the last LSU shot and see what you think...

Brown was in a bad spot and anyone watching the game could see the refs were not going to give LSU near anything.

i always thought the quoot was regarding when we lost to indiana in the final four and knight was asked abuot preparing for LSU BEFORE the game and he said something to the effect of

"After watching tape on LSU i wondered how they managed to lose 5 games...i looked and saw dale brown and knew i had a chance"

I wore my LSU Basketball shirt to a TTU (Texas Tech) game and as they were walking into the locker room at half time. He noticed it and starred all the way in. After the break I went back to my seat and could see him looking for me where I was standing.

I think LSU definetly is a burned memory in his head.

I know CSB. But I do represent, to all sporting events. Even though we do suck arse in BBall.

BTW this was like 7 years ago.

thought that was Derrick Taylor??

I always love the selective memory of those who want to blame the Indiana loss on Brown holding the ball late. I always wonder what those people thought when LSU held the ball against Georgia Tech in the first round that year and won, or when LSU held it against Temple in the second round and won, or when LSU held it late against Depaul in the Sweet 16 and won. Those people don't tend to have a problem with that. Maybe the Indiana loss could as easily be explained by any of the 50 or 60 moving screens Indiana set for Alford that weren't called, or any number of touch falls called against Oliver Brown or Benard Woodside when they tried to fight through those moving screens. Said it before will say it again, the 87 Indiana game was the biggest screw job ever to an LSU team.

Now that's saying something.

I remember a press conference once with Brown and Knight. Brown was carrying his grandkid, and there was a running joke as to whether Knight tried to hit his kid.

They didn't like each other, at least publicly.
