Just watched the 81 championship game and that team played so great in that tournament. Thing that struck me is that how the game and how it was coached is do different now. In this game IU played only 7 guys and 3 starters played all 40 minutes.
IT, Tolbert and Wittman played 40 minutes.
Turner played the first 35 minutes until fouling out.
Kitchell played the first 5 minutes but got 3 fouls and did not play the rest of the game.
J. Thomas played the last 27 minutes of the game.
Risley played like 12 minutes.
