FILE - In this March 30, 1976, file photo, Indiana coach Bobby Knight, left, and team members Scott May, center, and Quinn Buckner, right, celebrate with the trophy after winning the NCAA Basketball Championship in Philadelphia. They beat Michigan 86-68. The Indiana Hoosiers sat quietly inside their locker room on March 22, 1975. They knew what the first and only loss that season signified — one perfect quest ended while another began. Minutes after losing 92-90 to archrival Kentucky in the Mideast Regional championship, the underclassmen vowed to come back the next season and go undefeated. They did. And 45 years later, the 1975-76 Hoosiers remain America's last perfect college basketball team. (AP Photo/File)
