Fan Reaction to Indiana Beating Kentucky on Buzzer Beater

Hoosier Nation celebrates a buzzer-beater win over #1 Kentucky!
Background: Indiana University has a long and storied basketball history. In spring of 2008, former coach Kelvin Sampson was forced to resign amid serious NCAA allegations. Coach Tom Crean, who left Marquette for IU "because it's Indiana, it's Indiana" faced a monumental rebuilding task: the Hoosiers had lost 11 players from the previous year (3 transferred, 3 dismissed, 3 graduated, 2 NBA draft) and were penalized by the NCAA. Undersized and undermanned, the Hoosiers fought for three season, playing with passion and energy, but ultimately succumbing to better talent. Their record over those three seasons: 28-66, 8-46 in the Big Ten Conference. In fall of 2011, with a balanced and more-experienced roster, Hoosier Nation felt poised for a return to relevancy, perhaps even a post-season run. A soft schedule allowed IU to start the season 8-0, and though it felt different from the previous seasons under Coach Crean, few expected Indiana to be able to compete for 40 minutes with rival Kentucky, the top team in the country and one that features several future NBA stars. For over 39 minutes the teams traded blows, including 5 lead changes in the last two minutes. Then, catharsis for Hoosier Nation...

@TTMVUncleSpud I know! It's amazing so many fans in Assembly Hall and around the country thought IU had won 73-72 when they really lost 75-70. Some moron even made a video compilation of fan reactions to the game and put it on YouTube.

Dude, I have to say that ever since I first saw this video in mid December, I have watched it at least 30 times. Being a lifelong Hoosier fan and native, I grew up shooting hoops on a backboard bolted to our barn and loved watching the IU vs. UK game every year with my dad. Setting the background music to the score from "Hoosiers" was genius and really helped underscore all the feelings of pride we have for our Indiana Hoosiers! Well done

@tlongacre7 Thanks! I'm actually not a lifelong Hoosier, growing up in East Lansing watching Magic, Skiles, Smith, et. al. While I still follow the Spartans, my love for IU, as an alum, is unparalleled. I went to IU/UK games at the Hoosier Dome and Freedom Hall while in college, and watched this game with my kids at home (who I totally freaked out with my reaction which thankfully wasn't captured on video). Glad you've enjoyed the video so many times. It never gets old!

@mrSmurphy20 Yeah. I almost included a Gene Hackman "I love you guys" at the end, but thought it would be over the top!
