The Indiana Hoosiers were in town to play the Gophers en route to a 20-9 record and an appearance in NCAA post-season play. A month after his Minnesota appearance Knight was featured in an unflattering piece on the CNN/SI network.

In town to golf and speak at a Federated Insurance event, Coach Knight accepted Sid Hartman's invitation to speak to Dunkers. He had just finished the third of what was to be seven seasons as the basketball coach at Texas Tech. He said he was working with ESPN to produce a series called "Knight School,"about a handful of Texas Tech students competing for a non-scholarship spot on the basketball team.
