 This episode examines the arrival of Bob Knight at Indiana and the opening of Assembly Hall. It details how Knight implemented his unique system, emphasizing defense and a slower pace, a shift from the previous run-and-gun style. The episode will cover the challenges the team faced in its early years, along with key players such as Steve Downing and the team's first Big Ten title. We'll discuss the 1973 Final Four run and how the team was built for future success.
