October 19, 201213 yr The last time IU was ranked #1 at any point was 1992, according to one of my bosses who played for Bobby Knight in the 80's. Actually I'd have to pull the old Media Guides out but I'm very certain that IU was #1 going into the NCAA Tourney in 1993 in the polls and seed. That was when Henderson got hurt and the Hoosiers lost in the Regional Final to Kansas. Found it. http://statsheet.com/mcb/rankings/motion/AP?season=1992-1993 IU was #1 heading into the '93 tourney.

Found it. 1992-1993 College Basketball AP Poll in Motion - StatSheet.com IU was #1 heading into the '93 tourney. I remember the game they played against UK that year. If memory serves me right, there was a statistical oddity about that game--Damon Bailey, Calbert Chaney, Jamal Mashburn & Travis Ford all scored 27 points. Is that right?

If memory serves me right, there was a statistical oddity about that game--Damon Bailey, Calbert Chaney, Jamal Mashburn & Travis Ford all scored 27 points. Is that right? Here's the box score: Kentucky vs. Indiana (January 3, 1993) It was 29 points but Matt Nover of IU rather than Damon Bailey.

October 20, 201213 yr Missouri is better than 17th No they aren't. Very generous ranking if you ask me.
October 20, 201213 yr I'm a UC fan/homer so the following should be expected, but the fact that UC isn't in this poll is a joke. Andy Katz said himself that UC not being included in the 10-15 range in a lot of these polls is mind boggling. He picked UC to finish 2nd in the Big East behind Lville. UC will go as far as SK, Cash, and Parker take them, but I'll put those three against ANY other 1-3 in the country and like my chances. This team is extremely underrated. Faster, deeper, and more experienced than last years' sweet 16 team.

October 21, 201213 yr These early polls mean absolutely nothing....let's play the games so we can see how stupid these polls really are....
October 21, 201213 yr This could easily be the year somebody not named Duke or UNC will win the ACC. NC State is loaded. Didn't Florida State win the ACC last year?
October 22, 201213 yr Didn't Florida State win the ACC last year? They won the tournament, but UNC won the regular season.
October 22, 201213 yr They won the tournament, but UNC won the regular season. Sorry, just going by the ACC web site. My understanding is that the ACC does not recognize a regular season champion. The conference champion is the winner of the tournament.
