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.

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.

I know what you did. It's not accurate, numerically and historically.
Football seasons are defined by the season in which the vast majority in which it is played (as is the 2006 world champion Colts, who won the Super Bowl in February of 2007), and basketball seasons are also defined by when the vast majority of its seasons are played, of examples in which I pointed out in my previous post.
That's not my opinion, it's a fact.
