Hoosier4Life53 Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Sports are full of “what if’s”, but... What if Scott May hadn’t broken his wrist in 75? What if Alan Henderson hadn’t injured his knee in 83? What if CTC had even the slightest idea how to attack the Syracuse zone in 2013? We’d be chasing banner #9 instead of #6!

WI_Hoosier Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Surprised you missed '82. What if Turner doesn't have an automobile accident. Or, Kitchell's injury in "83. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if Hulls hadn’t injured his shoulder against Temple in ‘13 What if Coverdale doesn’t sprain his ankle in the tourney or if Haston doesn’t go pro?

If we win banners in scenario 1 and 2, I doubt Crean is here for scenario 3. Just my opinion but if Knight had 5 titles under his belt with the most recent being in 1993, I don't think Brand would have had the opening to fire him in 2000.

dbmhoosier Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 What if Kelvin Sampson had stayed out of trouble? Or what if we hadn't caved to political pressure in 2001 and had hired Alford? I really wonder where our program would be today if those had happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re correct Henderson’s injury was in 93 not 83, so yes, Brand may not have been able to fire Knight and Crean may never have been hired. Welcome to “Back to the Future”.

The 92 and 93 teams come up alot. That 90-91 team was Big 10 champions and 29-5. Lost in the Sweet 16. If Jay Edwards stayed 4 years, banner #6. If it wasn't for bad luck and RMK being who he was, the man could have won 6-7 championships, without a Sam Gilbert in his pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
