As far as the ones I can remember, this year, last year, 2012-2013 team, Wat Shot, 2002 FF team, 92-93 CBB team.

I was just a kid in 87 but every now and then I'd come across the recorded VHS of the Steve Alford Shot.

1) 1976 undefeated hoops title*

2) last night

3) Smart's shot / 1987 title

4) 1981 title 

5) Moye block / Duke upset

6) Football B1G championship win over OSU

7) 1988 41-7 win over OSU aka "darkest day"

8) Wat shot (I thought that we were BACK)

9) Jay Edward's buzzer beater over UM (I had great seats right behind the basket where the shot went in)

 

 

*Though I would have to say that, while the 1976 undefeated hoops title is #1 for me, part of my reaction to the title was relief more than simply pure joy, knowing that we SHOULD have won the previous year but for May's broken arm.

In my lifetime these can't be topped;

5  1953 BB NC

4  1976 BB NC 

3  1981 BB NC 

2  1987 BB NC 

1  2k26 FB NC 

At no time in my lifetime did I ever envision an IUFB NC.  What a blast!

I wasn't an IU fan until I decided to attend IU in 1991, so I can't count any of the prior basketball championships.  So, my top 5 moments:

1. Last night, by far (and really this entire season).

2. 2002 IU/Duke Sweet 16

3. 1992 Elite 8 beatdown vs. UCLA

4. Wat Shot

5. Calbert breaking the Big Ten career scoring record

Honorable mention:

- 2002 Final Four vs. Oklahoma

- 1993 IU vs. the Fab 5, #1 vs. #4

3.) IUBB's win over UNC

I’m ashamed to say I don’t know what you’re referring to with this one.  Last important game against UNC that I remember was a loss in the sweet sixteen.

Dan Dakich guarding Michael Jordan.  1984. That UNC team had Jordan, Sam Perkins, and James Worthy on it.

I missed listing the 1987 BB semifinal win over UNLV.  In many ways that was the equal of the championship win over Syracuse.
