Beauty…

I get chills every time I listen to fischer make the call.

One of the best IU memories I have so far (i’m only 21) and I cant wait to tell my future kids about this game just like my dad tells me about all big moments when he was growing up

Thank you for being loyal.  I am 32 and one of my earliest memories was the chair incident, but I remember the 87 Championship.  Glad to see young Hoosiers believing based on legend.  Glad you are a fellow Hoosier! Go IU!!!

Ooooohhhh, I like that idea.

“Dat Jones keeed dreeebles it down the flow-err, passes it to Wat-furrd, chucks up a pray-err … Oh sheeeeeeet.”

I am the same way, I have watched the replay of the final 5 seconds at least 50 times, and every time I smile and still here wondering if this is real 

After the what this program has been through I can’t help but get a little choked up watching the replay. Truly what makes IU basketball so special! Please tell me Cody is okay….he took a tumble while running to jump into the pile. Hopefully he didn’t get stomped on.

This presents a super opportunity for devoted Indiana Fans.  I’ve been posting all over ( this video too) ESPN, CBS, Cincy Enquirer showing the contrast between the smart, good kids who go to IU and the thugs at the lesser schools such as Cincy and Xavier.  Future recruits read baskeball (duh) and if they see the Hoosier Nation out in force they will get the type of impression of us FREE that even expensive recruiters will find tough to match If every IU Fan took 5 minutes to post comments and/or this video- it could go viral and it could  impress the right kid sitting in his room reading basketball news.

THAT JUST HAPPENED. I get chills and giggle like a little girl when I watch this…even on the thousandth time.

I LOVE this team.  What these guys have been through and to be at this point is amazing.  IDC if this group doesn’t win a national championship or any championship at all, this team is by far my favorite IU team I have ever watched and cheered for.  This could not have happened to a better group of guys.  Really happy  for those seniors who went through it all and stuck it out. 

I am sixty years old and this is my best highlight.  I know that what Keith Smart did was really amazing, but this happening after the struggles that Coach and the player have had and for us IU faithful who stuck around through it all.  I say Coach Crean for president C Watford for VP.  Take that Kelvin Samson.  I know that Watford had 20 points but this was a team victory.  Go Hoosiers.

I’m one of those guys who wasn’t there for the 87 title, and barely remember the 02 run. This, for me, is the beginning of being able to tell my children and grandchildren the stores. It’s beginning. Finally.

I love Jeremy Hollowells reaction as the shot goes in! He was standing behind the bench and he gives a Fist Thump. How could any recruit at the game last night not want to play for the Hoosiers!

My fave video: how it went down at Nick’s:

I’m with you man. I’m 21 myself, and my biggest memories were Haston’s 3 against MSU and our run to the championship game in 02. I was at basketball practice when we beat Duke, but at least my family taped the game so I could watch it later. I’ve lived out in Colorado for a while now and I’m the only Hoosier fan I know out here, so last night I was running around like a fool telling everyone I knew or didn’t know about the game. Pretty sure I scared alot of people, but who cares? I was psyched.

Studying for finals? Yeah right. By the way, I’ve been reading this site for over a year now several times a day and finally decided to post. It makes me feel a part of Hoosier Nation even though I’m a long ways away. Thanks to Alex and crew as well as the rest of you for making this a fantastic place to be.

Congrats. Here is to more great memories for you ( and everyone of us). I was there as a freshman in 1987. Many great memories. This one was very special! Right up there with the best of them. After our troubles, buzzer beating the Cats is Awesome!

Teague had a weird semi-smirk thing or something.  I don’t know how one can look smug in defeat (well, actually, I do — Calipari’s postgame presser), but Teague looked smug. Weird.

Is it just me, or does Fish sound an awful lot like Doc Brown from “Back to the Future” when that shot goes in?

1.21 Gigowatts???

This is as good a place to post this as any, I guess: that was the best Dick Vitale game I’ve heard in awhile.  Time after time he made insightful points and predictions; he was on the Terrence Jones disappearance before anyone else, he was begging for the ball to go to Zeller, he was critical of IU’s sloppiness, and he was right about IU needing to hit 3′s.  And he only mentioned Coach Knight twice, although he did still mention the building name thing.  Ah well.

Maybe the atmosphere brought out the best in him too, but whatever it was, I was pleasantly surprised to see he can still add a lot to a telecast as an analyst.

If you look behind the bench. Jeremy Hollowell was stopped by security when he attempted to rush the court Jaquan Lyle as well. He’s in the red IU sweatshirt …foreshadowing.. YUP!

Nice.  I was hoping a vid like that would surface; reminds me of the video that featured reactions around the country to Landon Donovan scoring the World Cup goal.

I totally agree.  He was downright tolerable.  

This clip makes me so happy.  It reminds me of when I visited my sister in Bloomington back in 2002 as a high school junior.  I was riding the Bloomington Shuttle from the Indy airport to B-town and they had the IU v. Duke game on the radio, with the legendary Don Fischer calling it.  As we pulled up to the IMU, Duke’s last shot rattled out and IU sealed the upset.  That moment and the ensuing elite 8 game I watched on campus sealed my decision to attend IU.  It’s the best decision I ever made and Saturday night’s W reaffirmed that. God bless Indiana University and the Hoosier nation!!!

Is the Kentucky call anywhere on the internet? and no not that fake one?
