Indiana vs Louisiana State - 3/22/87 

@GalenClavio I am so thankful to be able to see this game again. These are special memories. Thanks to you I can relive thm again the way they were broadcast even when they unfortunately involve Billy Packer. lol

Unlike most of the old arenas these long-ago games were played in, Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati is still standing today, now known as the Heritage Bank Center. I went there in 2015 and it was like walking into a time warp - instantly transported back to the 1970s.

Down 9 with 4min30secs or so to go, IU cut the lead to only 2 with 3mins to play. Yet, it took nearly that entire time to take the lead, with some agonizing moments along the way.

LSU gave this game away to Indiana in the final five minutes of the game. Dale Brown made the mistake of spreading the floor hoping Indiana would gamble defensively and get easy baskets to Nikka Wilson. This took their aggressiveness away on offense in playing conservative and Indiana stayed disciplined on defense. There was a questionable foul on Keith Smart around 40 seconds in regulation that allowed him to the free throw line. But there's no excuse. Dale Brown deserves a majority of the blame for this heartbreaking loss and never recovered from it.

Thank you! Great years of IU basketball!

Thank you Dale Brown

The clock at the buzzer actually had expired with the ball still in Nikita Wilson's hands. We will never know if the shot would have counted if it had gone in.

Knight just owned Dale Brown, poor guy couldn’t beat him. EVERY no-hitter in baseball, every championship run etc has a fortunate win, a lucky moment. This was it for Indiana. Easily could’ve and should’ve lost this game. Calloway doesn’t even finish a Hoosier? I always thought that was unfortunate but glad to see him still love and loved by Indiana U., evidenced by his return for the anniversary of this team and his reception there.

Never realized just how lucky Indiana was this year: Winning the big 10 last game of the year & needing a Purdue loss just to get a 1 seed. Then this game LSU had them & choked. Then Syracuse had them & choked.

Love BK

Coach knight always has time outs left late in the game when the opponent has none

Dale Brown had freakin Shaquille O Neal for 3 years and couldnt get passed the 2nd round got beat by guess who Indiana one year

The Great Escape...Really good foreshadowing by Packer at 59:46...If you just want to see the comeback :-), the nadir is reached soon after 1:07:26 ... About as happy as you'll ever see any Hoosiers on-camera 1:37:59...

Knight always preserves as many time outs as possible for use in a game such as this. The calling of several timeouts in a row puts the opponent in a very uncomfortable position, essentially “icing” their foe.

18:40 Bobby Knight banging phones

bob knight. rotten disposition- great ball coach...

Damn I watched years ago 😃but damn!

My boy Fess Irvin from my hometown with the miss free throw at the end of the game.

Like Coach Knight said, after looking at Shaquille O’Neal and all the other ones dunking in warm-ups, when I looked down on their bench, and I saw a Dale Brown, I knew we had a chance…😂😂😂

I enjoy this game only because of Brent Musberger

Went to a speaking conference an LSU alum ask BK hey Coach Kinght u think LSU will ever beat Indiana? He said not as long I’m at the Coach at Indiana
