As an Indiana native, basketball fan/player, and IU graduate, I have to say that it was interesting listening to Knight's thoughts about Purdue because the Boilermakers are VERY MUCH the kind of team Knight tried to put together. They are a team that runs a motion offense similar to the one Knight used at IU, they are a very balanced team that can score inside or out, they run a dogged man defense, and they show signs of being a very unselfish, determined group of players. In the past he has said positive things about Painter and he couldn't help but show his approval for Hummel and Johnson. In all, I suppose it doesn't shock me that he called that game so well because it is a team that reflects a lot of his concepts. And, it was hilarious when he started talking about Hartman. I have also lived in Minneapolis and can confirm that what he said about his status there is true. I, too, thought he was very good as a color commentator.

It was nice to be able to watch a Big Ten game being broadcast by Musburger and not want to thrust red hot pokers into my ears. Knight made it tolerable to watch, and his break down of the end-of-game strategy was excellent. I watched part of the game last night.
