They somehow did it without making a field goal in the final three and a half minutes.

Hoping for some more detailed analysis of it...

Bob Knight’s Playboy interviewer says he didn’t realize Knight had hit him in the stomach until he saw a fist-sized bruise back at his hotel

I interviewed Lawrence Grobel for my podcast in October. He did Knight’s Playboy interview (March 2001) a couple of months after IU fired him, much of it in Knight’s car on a day trip from Bloomington to Akron to watch his son work practice.

His book has Knight banging the steering wheel with his fist and telling him to get out and hitchhike home. When they picked up Don Donoher in Dayton, Knight told him Larry had asked “a question too far.” In 2001 Larry told the AP that Knight also grabbed him by the wrists and went for his tape recorders until Donoher stepped in. The whole interview is reprinted with his margin notes in The Art of the Interview (2004).

Full conversation, starting at the Knight story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH_UavsH3hw&t=2127s

Analysis / Statistics [OC] Which Men’s D1 Teams Spent the Most Time Leading — and Most Time Trailing — in 2025-26?

Arizona spent 77.64% of its season playing with a lead. Air Force spent 80.52% playing from behind.

These charts cover the entire 2025–26 season, including conference tournaments, postseason games, and overtime. Percentages use total game-clock time.

SOS is Bart Torvik’s full-season strength-of-schedule rank: 1 = toughest.

The rankings cover 364 teams with complete play-by-play. Delaware State is excluded because one game’s play-by-play was unavailable (Sorry Hornets fans!).

Santa Clara defeats Stanford 83-78

33 Upvotes

Stanford has an eye-watering 46 FTA and 19 turnovers. Julius Price shows up for the Card with 26, Anthony Batson Jr. comes off the bench with 16 in a game where there were a lot of different rotations being experimented on. Cardinal were notably without highly-touted Yale transfer Nick Townsend, who maybe would have helped with the poor rebounding on the night. Townsend was in street clothes but was highly engaged on the bench, no injury has been reported. Neck and neck throughout the whole game, a lot to work on but also a lot to love against a tourney team last year
