All basketball seasons, college and professional, are notated by the season's end.

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.

I did it correctly, I logged the fall football season with the fall/spring basketball season so when I looked up the colts 2002 record, I look up the Indiana 2002-2003 record.

It’s worth noting that both seasons begin in the fall and overlap partially. It’s also worth noting that NFL seasons span into January too.

I was not trying to compare the colts fall record with the IU b-ball record that ended the previous spring. I’m comparing the simultaneous partially overlapping seasons.
