Then your overall comparison numbers for all of the seasons are not aligned correctly.
All basketball seasons, college and professional, are notated by the season's end. More than half of the regular season and the entire postseason is played after January 1st ...... subsequently, whenever a reference is made to Bobby Knight's Indiana team as being the last national championship team to go undefeated, they say
"The 1976 Indiana Hoosiers" for that 1975-76 Indiana team. The same is true for each and every other national championship team, such as the 1983 NC State Wolfpack who upset Houston's Phi Slama Jama team, the 1985 Villanova Wildcats who upset the heavily favored Georgetown Hoyas, and Danny Manning's 1988 Kansas Jayhawks team who upset Billy Tubbs' heavily favored Oklahoma Sooners.
That said, I'm sure that there are still some strong similarities between good Colts teams and bad Indiana basketball teams even if the years were realigned correctly.
