Kentucky was so upset over this loss that they would not negotiate to continue the annual rivalry game, unless it could be played on a neutral court. I was at the game, and still have the ticket, which Tom Crean autographed for me. The only more exciting game i can recall attending was the game when we defeated Duke at Lexington to go on to the championship game against Maryland in Atlanta. The single most exciting game I have ever attended.
I was in the Big Red Basketball Band at the Duke game at Rupp. Simply amazing... UK fans from in town were sitting behind us, cheering us on because they hoped to see the Dukies lose 🤣
@@cadenpowers8733 if the only loss my team takes is a hail mary buzzer beater so miraculous that its replayed years later im okay with that. Only loss they had that year, won the sec and ncaa titles that year and our star just won his first NBA title too. I'm happy 😃
Not really a Basketball fan at all, and not an Indiana fan, but I am a competitive sports person and I know what the desire to WIN is as a fan and competitor and watching the emotions come out from the 1 lonely guy in his living room to the sports bars to the actual arena and you can't help but get emotional watching this. INCREDIBLE moment here. Goosebumps!
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
I'm a KY fan but I can respect moments like this, nobody loves a game that's 40 to 94 points, they enjoy a close good game and this one especially. you need rivals in sports, it makes it good
That's respect. Sad that some UK fans still get mad about this. Respect for other teams/players is a true fan. UK always has a great team, they just come up short on this game. But look where they went later that season :)
The first KY fan I've seen that actually is a passionate fan. I'm sorry that there are some bad apples in KY's fan base that makes passionate fans like you look bad.
This is my favorite ending to a basketball game ever. I'm not even a fan of either team, but I'll never forget watching the ending of this with my mom and dad, I don't even know why we turned it on but I'm so glad we did. Unbelievable, unbelievable, can't believe it
I love this video it's just great a little background I am a 41 year old Englishman I don't watch basketball ever... but i still love the raw emotion that sports conjuour up in so many people just fantastic thanks for sharing
I'm crying now as I watch this... And I am so proud to be an alumni of this great educational and athletic institution... I played baseball for the hoosiers from 1986 to 1990 when I graduated with honors, and I was in the villas when Keith hit the shot that last time we won it all... I was at Assembly hall for all of the games that magical year, and now we have a chance to do ot all again... This is the best team I have seen in my 30+ years as a fan and alumni... May we go far and winit all
Always think of my dad when seeing vids of this game. He had just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a week before this game yet I still think it was one of the greatest moments of his life. Just glad I went over to his house that night to watch it with him. I lost him but will never lose this great memory.
Great video with hoosier music and don fischer making the call....been a hoosier fan since 1965 and this is one of their greatest games! thanks for the video
I cried when it was all over, I lost my best friend last year who was a huge IU fan as well. It meant so much to me. He always said IU's basketball program would be back this year and we would win a national title next year, if not this year too. Even if we don't, this game was a great moment in my life and I will never forget it. RIP Clint McCarter
Seriously. Of all the videos I've watched (at least 100) this video is the only one I can watch 5+ times and still get chills every time. What an amazing moment in history. The whole situation involving the game - NCAA sanctions, the last three years of struggles, and UK bringing in a super talented team that most people expected to dominate the game - made it that much more incredible and special. I'm so glad I was able to be there. Thanks so much for this video, it's fantastically well-done.
The fact that I was there for the end of the Knight era (as we all know, coach's time didn't end well), I can say with pride that our Hoosiers are back. Thank you to the person who posted this compilation, as someone said earlier, it never gets old. I cannot wait for Friday.
As a UK fan I give IU props for that game. That wanted the game and deserved to win. We all under estimated Indiana and believe it or not I am glad IU is back cause college hoops as a whole is better when a storied program such as IU is good. Our only loss this year. Not bad
Nice win for the hoosiers. Everybody wants to beat Ky. Nothing like being a cat fan. But it is cool to see other fans act as crazy as we do with our basketball !!! Nice touch with the Hoosiers music.
Should have video taped my reaction too... All I remember is jumping up and down screaming "He made it!" over and over again. Doing my best job not to knock over the Xmas tree... then my wife comes running downstairs screaming (she couldn't watch the final play). Before I knew it, my Springer Spaniel was humping my leg in joy, my Irish Setter named Kirkwood started barking (pretty sure he was saying "Suck it Kentucky") and my 1/2 year old was scared that daddy lost his mind. Best. Day. Ever.
Great job on the video, bro. I was at working watching this game and I nearly ran through the whole building screaming my head off when that shot went in. Certainly, one of the best nights I will ever remember.
I was at home I lost my mind when That shot went in my blue heeler nipped me on the leg he didn’t know what to do he thought I lost my mind which I did. One of my favorite moments in Hoosier history
I'm a Kentucky fan and I was happy for Crean & the Hoosiers.. it was a heck of a game with an unforgettable ending. I think I was the only one in the crowd at my house who wasn't upset after the game, lol.
My fave video - sums it all up - and includes all the excitement in some of the best places! I would've loved to still be a student during this game - those were the best days of my life!
Nicely done!! Again, the celebration was an (like it or not) homage to what Coach Knight started all those years ago. Like many others have shared, this video gives me goose bumps not so much for IU BB but for the pure joy that all these people shared at the same moment in their lives.
I know others will disagree with me but I thought Tom Crean was a pretty good coach. The way he substituted was a little different for sure but I still liked him.
honestly, i get teary eyed every freakin time i watch this lol... not even kidding, i could watch this a million trillion quadrillion times, and it still wouldn't get old :)
I am a huge UK fan, have been since i was a little boy, but i must say i was proud of IU when they pulled off that upset, i was happy for them, and they deserved it, that was one of the most memorable ball games i can remember and i watched the laetner shot when i was 6 lol.
I'm a die hard kentucky fan. I wish we could start the rivalry again with Indiana. It was such a long term rivalry for both teams. It's historical almost. Louisville just canceled due to covid so we have a open game at rupp. If Indiana came to rupp college basketball would explode.
pure genius, i was watching this with my grandpa in his tv room, (were huge ND fans) but were pulling for IU, cuz I hate Kentucky, (Watford for the win??, YESSS, YESSSS). I jumped up and down and hugged him like no tomorrow, knowing that IU was back, thanks for the video and another great memory,...sincerely, a Hoosier at heart from South Bend!
Huge, Purdue fan but still went crazy when he hit that shot... come on the knocked off the #1 team in the country, that is worth celebrating. BTW GO BOILERS
I will never forget the ESPN camera shot of a stunned coach Tom Crean after the winning basketball was scored and ESPN putting up the winning points on the Kentucky side of the scoreboard line. For seven seconds, it looked like UK won 75-70.
a-lot of people misinterpret why IU fans celebrate this win over #1 Kentucky the way we have. It wasn't the game itself so much as it was the OFFICIAL moment of Indiana becoming relevant once again. This is one of the true blue bloods of the game, and for 3 previous years prior to this shot IU fans went through hell and back with this team. This shot was more than a win against the #1 team in the country, It was IU official saying "we're back"
Nice to actually see respectful fans. I'm an IU fan, but I never take games like this to a personal level. Some UK fans still reply to this bashing about the 102-90 game. But that game wasn't as exciting as this one lol
i was just gonna watch a few classic ncaa clips before going to bed...now i feel a strong urge to watch the movie 'Hoosiers'...thanks watford...look what you made me do...
My Guy, That was moving extremely moving. Sports especially college sports seem to move people to celebrate to no end. I was not at the game that night I am no where close to Indiana in the least bit. I was watching the game here in my home and I cried when he hit that shot. The pure adrenaline of IU staying close made me stay tuned, but for a program that has fought so hard and been so down for so long IU deserved that win. The fans deserved that win. The state of Indiana deserved that win.
Pretty cool. I am glad you guys are back...watching March Madness with my dad is my favorite past-times. Also, going to games at Allen Field House with him. Basketball has missed you. While I don't like Kentucky very much...out of all the Blue Bloods (besides Kansas :) ...You guys seem the most wholesome and family oriented bunch. Final Four next year? Hell, this year?
@kahminggg It is great that you took the time to watch, even though by your use of the term "match" it is clear that you are not from the US (in bball it's a game). I love that you have embraced bball, and maybe will even become an IU fan! To answer your question, it is just a "normal" game, as normal as a rivalry of such magnitude can be. This is only the 9 game of the season, and it is before the conference schedule even starts. So not the finals, but definitely not normal.
Would like to see someone gather up more videos from around the world and stitch them all together. there are IU groups all over the country and overseas. Massive fan base

Calipari wasn't upset over the loss, he was upset that your idiot fans nearly trampled a UK player.
@@mikemartin5749 fuck that Uk player

@@marcomandolini86 well your going to hell
I jumped up and down and dove on my adult son and kissed him on the cheek. He got mad and threw me off but it was worth it. Go IU!!!!
This was the greatest basketball game I have ever personally watched
Second for me...the IU Syracuse game with the buzzer beater is #1 in my book.
I liked the finals this year, where kentucky won it all.

die hard UConn fan and even i'll admit this video is something else.. games and reactions like this are what make college basketball special

Whoever edited this did a WONDERFUL job.
this happened on my 10th birthday and i remember it so vividly and now i’m a junior at IU! this is still legendary!
I will never forget being at this game, what a moment. Still get chills watching it.
kentucky players deserved a pay cut after this game
That made me laugh
whenever I am having a bad day I watch this video and It is automatically "not so bad"
Always think of my dad when seeing vids of this game. He had just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a week before this game yet I still think it was one of the greatest moments of his life. Just glad I went over to his house that night to watch it with him. I lost him but will never lose this great memory.
This is an awesome video. Very well edited. You did a great job putting it together. Lots of fun. Thank you.
This never gets old! Everytime I watch it I end up with tears! Go Hoosiers!
Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.
"Some guy in his living room" LMAO XD
I'm a Kentucky fan and this crowd reaction still gives me goosebumps. Damn.
+Brian Bays Greatest rivalry in NCAA
Im a indiana fan And this Gave me goosebumps to When I watched it in my bedroom So AHAHAHAHAHA HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE BEAT BY A UNRANKED TEAM
Brian Bays Don’t Mess With Indy
I was there and the only other thing that can even compare is being at Game 7 of the 2016 World Series.
Well, I don't really know anything about university basketball league, but watching this makes me feel something GREAT. Congrats from Spain!
This should be the top result for any search of IU UK. By far the best video of its kind. Congrats to the editor.
I was watching this at a party, we werent Hoosier fans but we all went so crazy this one will be going down in the books lol.
How soon we forget.... that was a great day. Thanks, Christian.
I cry every time I watch it! It will never ever get old!! ❤️
Great video with hoosier music and don fischer making the call....been a hoosier fan since 1965 and this is one of their greatest games! thanks for the video
Who ever went to that game has to be really lucky to feel the excitement in the real assembly hall!
I cried when it was all over, I lost my best friend last year who was a huge IU fan as well. It meant so much to me.

You'll never find a stronger allegiance to there team than Indiana University. God bless the Hoosiers. Proud to be one myself!!!

I wanna cry this is so beautiful after so many frustrating seasons.
That was the first game I had gone to in 25 years, and I still get chills watching it.
Happy anniversary everyone!!! Go Hoosiers!!!

as a michigan fan that was a great game, remembering watching it. love the video with the theme of the song from Hoosiers in the background.
Chills...every single time I watch this!!!
i cried that night..pure joy
Great job on the video, bro. I was at working watching this game and I nearly ran through the whole building screaming my head off when that shot went in. Certainly, one of the best nights I will ever remember.
one of the days that i will never forget.. In my candystriped pants and all watching that game! GO CRIMSON AND CREAM
I was at home I lost my mind when That shot went in my blue heeler nipped me on the leg he didn’t know what to do he thought I lost my mind which I did. One of my favorite moments in Hoosier history

Excellent video. I don't like or hate either team, but this was one for the ages. Congrats to Indiana on such an emotional win!
Because even the scoreboard was in such shock and awe at the awesomeness taking place.
I was at the game that night wish we could still do this...
one basket........... really great video, watched it a couple of times and I don't even know these teams, you sure captured a feeling on tape
I'm a Card fan and this gave me goosebumps. Great editing on the vid. Enjoyed every second.
Very well done. Absolutely love that you used the theme from the move "Hoosiers" as the background music.
I had to watch this again - putting the video to the Hoosiers music just made me weep (with joy, of course!)

That one poor player in blue... Basically got trampled by the other team. Lmfao.

we may not have won the national title this year, but that shot, that one moment has changed Indiana for forever.... we're back baby, we're back. ;)
2:03 That was actually pretty damn close to Shooter's reaction from the actual movie.

Has it really been 7 years? Feels like yesterday
I love IU so much
I'm a huge Duke fan but love the movie Hoosiers. This gives me chills what a shot
Nice to actually see respectful fans. I'm an IU fan, but I never take games like this to a personal level. Some UK fans still reply to this bashing about the 102-90 game. But that game wasn't as exciting as this one lol
And that game was way more meaningful than this one...that's why they keep mentioning it.
i was just gonna watch a few classic ncaa clips before going to bed...now i feel a strong urge to watch the movie 'Hoosiers'...thanks watford...look what you made me do...

Final Four next year? Hell, this year?
I’ll be watching this when I’m 82.
Crowd reaction at 2:49 gets me every time.
that game was true validation. it sent the message to the rest of the nation that the Hoosiers were BACK!!!!
Doesn’t matter where the Hoosiers stand, we’ll always have those iconic banners.
I'll never forget Crean's face after Watford hit the shot
Perfect using the Hoosiers movie soundtrack!! Well done!
Im not even a IU fan but when this happened and i saw it live i went crazy!
