I didn't get to watch this game live because I was scheduled to work delivering pizzas for Mad Mushroom. I was stuck in traffic on Walnut in front of Sports when the game ended, and it was like the city just exploded. People came running out of every building running and screaming through the streets and hugging and giving everyone high fives. It took me more than 30 minutes to make it two blocks back to the store where I promptly quit and went back out to be with my people.
I get a little teary eyed once they get to the end and you hear the Don Fischer play by play. Amazing, amazing game and i'll never forget where i was or how i felt when it happened.
Was jumping up & down watching that game with my dad in St Louis where we lived at the time. Dad is from the state of Indiana so exciting but I has to say Carlos Boozer got hammered fouled on that missed free throw by Jayson Williams. No excuse for a no foul call.
I'm so glad I finally got to see the actual footage from the game for the first time. I was in basic training during that time and remember reading the letter from my mom telling me they had won and sent me the newspaper clipping. I just stood there motionless scanning over the letter and the box score, I seriously couldn't believe it. An IU fan my entire life, I really wished I had got to see this game live.
I am a UK fan but this is one of my favorite college games ever . I have much respect for IU Tom Creane is a great Coach and its great he got that Zeller kid sighned. UK and IU is one of the marquee games in college and it's much better with both schools on the up . Have a great yeah Indiana fans and go Cats !!!!
@GoHoosiers768187 This is by far the greatest video I have ever seen. I can still remember being in Wright Dorm watching this game. The announcers still give me chills. Awesome.
thankyou for putting beauties like this together there is no basketball like hoosier basketball Do you have iu vs illinois the year we had jay edwards and he hit a three at end to win
Moye celebrated every play the second it was over. I'm surprised he didn't hurt someone pumping his fist. Best sparkplug in college basketball history. Eat that Boozer!
@toddky32 hey! dude , i just had to reply to your post. just wanted to say thanks for your comment. i have been a i.u. fan since 15 yrs. old , in 1975. i know i.u. and kentucky have it out. but , the reason i am responding is that this year , 2002 i.u. were big underdogs. but, they were playing the mighty DUKE in kentucky . from a hoosier view, it was great to see all that cream & crimson in the areana! it was like kentucky\ indiana got together against duke. am from wash. IN. HOME OF ZELLER!
@bryzngani No, you wish you could have seen the second half of this game live. The Hoosiers came out awful to open, waaaayyy too many turnovers. I remember going to bed before the second half began (I was only 11), thinking that the Hoosiers were going home. I also remember hearing my brothers and my dad screaming at the TV when Fife fouled Williams on the three. Then I heard my brother screaming "Elite Eight! Elite Eight!" and jumping around. I was so elated to hear that IU had won.
I watched the entire 2nd half of this game. Indiana just flat out woke up in the 2nd half. Jefferies was all over the place trying to get the Hoosiers back in the game. Indiana may not have onw this game if there wasn't such a huge fan base of Hoosiers there.
@coltcub64 Me too it's going to be a great game and Indiana will make it in the tournament next year ,where the belong. That Zeller kid is going to be fun to watch I'm so glad he didn't go to UNC LOL.
@EricAKATheBelgianGuy Hey Eric Tough luck on the Kentucky game IU played with a lot of heart and they look really good it was so good too see those proud programs dual it out. IU could have one that game when Zeller comes to town I woun't be shocked if we come away with a loss next year. You guys have a great team this year and hopefully make it too the tourney this year. Best of luck in the tough Big Ten this year I believe its the best conference this year. Great game with UK Best of Luck
@EricAKATheBelgianGuy I hope so Eric , I have respect for Tom Creane as well even though he beat my Cats in the 03 regional final lol Unfortunately Kelvin Sampson did to IU what Eddie Sutton did to us but Creane is already in track. I would love too see IU sneak into the big dance but your probably right still the NIT would be a great accomplishment. The rivalry will be renewd you have to good of a coach.
@JZ2001JC iu starting lineup outside of jeffries all finished college with legitimate passing grades and got REAL jobs, REAL lives, with REAL families.
@EricAKATheBelgianGuy No it is relevant IU has a good team and will make a lot of noise this college year . They will be a tough out for my Cats and if they dont play well they will go down. I dont know the players name but that was a great past halph court shot by the IU player last night.
Always? Hang on there. Duke has achieved more since Coach K's arrival in 1980 than IU has. It's true. But in 1980, we already had three national championships, the latest one coming under none other than K's mentor - the General, Robert Montgomery Knight. Speaking of Knight, I thank him for what he did for us. It put IU on the map forever. But frankly, even if he hadn't been fired, I think he still would've retired before now. It would've been time for a change. I'm just fine with Coach Crean.
Man, I was a freshman in Foster Quad when this happened...watching the video with Fish calling the last 2 minutes just brought back crazy goosebumps! Thank you so much for putting this up...you made my day!! Go IU! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!
The punk Duke player on the bench yelling at ref after the game. Somewhat sweet revenge after what Teddy V did to the hoosiers years earlier in the final 4
@HPMainMafia What???? Its very well known that Duke is one of those teams that seems to get a lot more calls than normal. Even Dicky V has mentioned that as a game factor in favor of Duke
if indiana would have had a coach instead of a recruiter acting as a coach that year they would have won a title. this is also the only time you will have UK fans come to rupp arena to pull for IU. And I still can't believe these refs allowed this to happen.
You have no idea how long I have been searching for highlights of this game on youtube. I was on a plane headed to Florida during this game. Saw the first 10 minutes, expected a Duke win. We get off the plane, everyone's phone blows up. Hoosiers win! The greatest game I never saw. Thanks so much for the upload.
that Duke team was so soooo superior to IU. I remember this game like it was yesterday. shame we lost to Maryland that year but it was still a great run! Lookin forward to some more hoosier excitement this year and beyond! go hoosiers!!
Most surreal thing I’ve ever witnessed was being in Rupp for the 2002 semis & having Kentuky fans cheer for IU…thanks for missing that put-back Mr. Boozer & Great work etecnifibre! AJ Moye!
@HPMainMafia Are you kiddin me...Its just a fact. Ive heard him say it on numerous Key Duke games....Its a factor in favor of Duke. Not all games but majority. And yes I follow college basketball closer than you will ever know.
@HPMainMafia Im on the bandwagon? Ive beena Hoosier fan all my life, from the days of AJ Guyton, Jared Jefferies, Killingsworth, to the shitty years all the way up to the team that just beat kentucky last night
Easily one of the worst moments in sports for me. Put the best free-throw shooter in the country on the line, he misses, two more missed rebounds later and Duke lose. How Boozer didn't put it in to this day I will never understand. I died a little that day.
I was at the game in my candy striped pants with my Mom when I was 12. As soon as Jay Will got fouled I turned to her and said "he only shoots 65%" from the line. Weird but one of my most vivid memories from the game.
@pgraybengal. Now if we done whining about the refs on the flipside talking about this game unbias and all that it was a great upset and a great game. Pause at 1:07 and compare the starting lineups....Duke's whole starting lineup is in NBA now (I count Jayson Williams because if not for motorcycle accident he would still be in the NBA). IU starting lineup outside of Jeffires is a bunch of farm boys. Honestly many of the bench players IU had were better than their starters.
Duke doing what they do best choke and whine. If they arent playing at Cameron, they got no chance. Ratface wasnt getting that call. LOL @ Christisen, keep the bench warm as usual.
One of the toughest Duke losses.....but a microcosm of our season. We lost @UVA the same way late in the season, primarily for the same reason.....reluctance to keep feeding the ball to Boozer as option #1 late in the game. A promise MK made in the wake of '01 title but could not keep. I also thought Dunleavy got worn down playing the 4 that year. Maryland was the best team that year, I will say that.
I also remember Jay Will missing a breakaway dunk in this game. I think it helped start the rally by IU. We were probably the 3rd best team that year behind UMD and KU.
@sneak108. Uhm if anything that provided home court for Iu since they were closer to Lexington than Durham was and UK HATES Duke with the Laettner memories from 1992.
hell yes he was as IU fan I'll take it Jeffries got lazy wanted to watch look at replay. Also notice Coach K having to grab the kid who was yelling at the ref.
Huge upset. Too bad Battier graduated the year before because if he was still on Duke then this isn't even a close game as Duke would have rolled. Oh well its 2010 and who won the National Title in 2010 again?????
News flash.....Perennial favorites tend to get the calls in every sport (at least the ones I watch). Dean Smith got them when he was the preeminent coach in CBB. So did Pitino at UK. MJ, Kobe and Phil Jackson damn sure got 'em. Can't leave out good old Bobby Bowden. So does Brady and Belichick, as do Lebron and Wade's Heat. It's entertainment first and sports a distant second. I thought the 90's cowboys did also (to a lesser degree). I've seen the refs screw Duke and save them, and while I am biased in favor of Duke, I hate to see any team get singled out this way without acknowledging the entire product for what it is.
Why the eff does this make tears 18 yrs later????? Love my HOOOOOOOSIERS!!!
I wish every IU player had the heart of AJ............
I was just thinking the same thing. He was a short guy that had huge heart and his emotion could help will this team to a win.
I still get chills watching this. Go Hoosiers!
AJ MOYE!!! THAT BLOCK ON BOOZER THO :) STUFFED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! What a classic Hoosier moment!
It is still shocking that Dane Fife made that foul 11 years later!
A great win

I was at this game. Despite all the great historical games by Indiana recently, this remains my favorite of all time.
Best finish in tournament history. You can't argue.
I can only hope friday's game against UK is this exciting. and, of course, has the same result. go hoosiers!
Was jumping up & down watching that game with my dad in St Louis where we lived at the time. Dad is from the state of Indiana so exciting but I has to say Carlos Boozer got hammered fouled on that missed free throw by Jayson Williams. No excuse for a no foul call.
hoosiers music in second half makes this video 100X better haha
I'm so glad I finally got to see the actual footage from the game for the first time.

I just stood there motionless scanning over the letter and the box score, I seriously couldn't believe it. An IU fan my entire life, I really wished I had got to see this game live.
It was awesome one of my favorite memories I was 11
I am a UK fan but this is one of my favorite college games ever . I have much respect for IU Tom Creane is a great Coach and its great he got that Zeller kid sighned. UK and IU is one of the marquee games in college and it's much better with both schools on the up . Have a great yeah Indiana fans and go Cats !!!!
Can't wait for the Hoosiers to start getting back into this. Won't be long
Gives me chills remembering this...gotta love the them from "Hoosiers" in the background.
My favorite Hoosiers comeback win ever. I remember this one like yesterday.
7:40 Moye Blocks Boozer
no mere words could have described how mad i was when he missed that free throw
Crazy-ass game. Sad to see Duke lose, but... crazy-ass game.
@GoHoosiers768187 This is by far the greatest video I have ever seen. I can still remember being in Wright Dorm watching this game. The announcers still give me chills. Awesome.
simply amazing
thankyou for putting beauties like this together
there is no basketball like hoosier basketball Do you have iu vs illinois the year we had jay edwards and he hit a three at end to win
This video is incredible!! The music from "Hoosiers" is perfect!
Moye celebrated every play the second it was over. I'm surprised he didn't hurt someone pumping his fist. Best sparkplug in college basketball history. Eat that Boozer!

IN. HOME OF ZELLER!
These highlights are sooooo one-sided!
my favorite Duke video is called JJ Teabags
I appreciate getting to relive that memory.
i remember this game i was just a kid when i watched this. it really brings back memories
I was at the game with my dad.
This was amazing to watch even in 2012. Hoo hoo hoo Hoosiers!!!
Illinois Arizona 2005. Best comeback of all time. Period.
@bryzngani
No, you wish you could have seen the second half of this game live. The Hoosiers came out awful to open, waaaayyy too many turnovers. I remember going to bed before the second half began (I was only 11), thinking that the Hoosiers were going home. I also remember hearing my brothers and my dad screaming at the TV when Fife fouled Williams on the three. Then I heard my brother screaming "Elite Eight! Elite Eight!" and jumping around.

@coltcub64 Me too it's going to be a great game and Indiana will make it in the tournament next year ,where the belong. That Zeller kid is going to be fun to watch I'm so glad he didn't go to UNC LOL.
I needed this after last night's loss. Thanks.
@HPMainMafia Keep thinking that.
@EricAKATheBelgianGuy Hey Eric Tough luck on the Kentucky game IU played with a lot of heart and they look really good it was so good too see those proud programs dual it out. IU could have one that game when Zeller comes to town I woun't be shocked if we come away with a loss next year. You guys have a great team this year and hopefully make it too the tourney this year. Best of luck in the tough Big Ten this year I believe its the best conference this year. Great game with UK Best of Luck
Does anyone else notice everytime the ball hits the rim it sounds like a tom drum hit LOL.
absolutely one of the BEST games I ever saw!! I cried at the end of this game with happiness - it was so sweet the Dukies go down!!!
@HPMainMafia Wow...thats a bold statement that many fans across the country would say the exact opposite
@EricAKATheBelgianGuy I hope so Eric , I have respect for Tom Creane as well even though he beat my Cats in the 03 regional final lol Unfortunately Kelvin Sampson did to IU what Eddie Sutton did to us but Creane is already in track. I would love too see IU sneak into the big dance but your probably right still the NIT would be a great accomplishment. The rivalry will be renewd you have to good of a coach.
Yep, have to agree.
Jared Odle=Strap from "Hoosiers"
"The Lord, I can feel his strength"
I remember as a kid jumping up and down when Jason Williams missed that free throw! This game was a classic!
At 10:20 Coverdale was moving his feet when inbounding the ball, which should have been a travel.
i need to correct myself it was actually michigan we were up against when jay edwards had his buzzer beater
Todd Leary in the background... hahaha
Yeah if it is after a made shot or a timeout
dane fife made me put a hole in my wall
@JZ2001JC iu starting lineup outside of jeffries all finished college with legitimate passing grades and got REAL jobs, REAL lives, with REAL families.
@EricAKATheBelgianGuy No it is relevant IU has a good team and will make a lot of noise this college year . They will be a tough out for my Cats and if they dont play well they will go down. I dont know the players name but that was a great past halph court shot by the IU player last night.
7:30 my fav play of the game and AJ Moye's career
Indiana wouldn't have won that game without Kentucky fans. I was there, screaming my lungs out for Indiana to beat Duke. Crazy.
thankyou for putting beauties like this together
rid crean and we can be back sooner than later.
Awesome video! Thanks! Brings me back to a great Hoosier moment.
Great job!
The best game of AJ Moye's career.
Always? Hang on there. Duke has achieved more since Coach K's arrival in 1980 than IU has. It's true. But in 1980, we already had three national championships, the latest one coming under none other than K's mentor - the General, Robert Montgomery Knight.

5 future solid NBA players vs 1 Journeyman and 4 Hoosiers.....I will take the team with the Hoosiers anytime
He eyes, he flies, HE GOT IT!!! Don Fisher is the best
"...most of them are here to cheer against the favorite, the Duke Blue Devils."
How I love hearing those words!
All boozer had to do was put the ball in while in the air…Damn…
Boozer mightve made the shot if he was able to put it back in mid air.
Was Jason Williams (the guy who missed the game tying ft at the end) the same guy who got into the Motorcycle accident?
If you look at the replay, Boozer shoves Jeffries out of the way to get position. Foul on Boozer -- game over.
Man, I was a freshman in Foster Quad when this happened...watching the video with Fish calling the last 2 minutes just brought back crazy goosebumps! Thank you so much for putting this up...you made my day!! Go IU! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!
The punk Duke player on the bench yelling at ref after the game. Somewhat sweet revenge after what Teddy V did to the hoosiers years earlier in the final 4
Great idea and work, but I sure wish the quality of your video was a lot cleaner.
Biggest. Choke. Ever. I mean, come on -- Boozer, Duhon, Dunleavy, Williams, Jones? All future pros!
@HPMainMafia What???? Its very well known that Duke is one of those teams that seems to get a lot more calls than normal. Even Dicky V has mentioned that as a game factor in favor of Duke

Interesting how your phones didn’t work til you landed
at 11:42 it sounds like hes about to throw up
@etecnifibre Great work on the video...glad I could continue to spread the word.
that Duke team was so soooo superior to IU. I remember this game like it was yesterday. shame we lost to Maryland that year but it was still a great run! Lookin forward to some more hoosier excitement this year and beyond!
go hoosiers!!
@ThatsTaylored oh ok, nevermind
i still watch this on ncaa video vault.. i remeber jumping and sticking my head in the ceiling fan lol
Most surreal thing I’ve ever witnessed was being in Rupp for the 2002 semis & having Kentuky fans cheer for IU…thanks for missing that put-back Mr. Boozer & Great work etecnifibre! AJ Moye!
@HPMainMafia Are you kiddin me...Its just a fact. Ive heard him say it on numerous Key Duke games....Its a factor in favor of Duke. Not all games but majority. And yes I follow college basketball closer than you will ever know.
I tell you what, if J-will would hit the free throw, whoever said the jesus christ quote might have been rethinking it lol
All 5 starters on Duke went pro too....made this game all the more sweeter
7 players total
@HPMainMafia Im on the bandwagon? Ive beena Hoosier fan all my life, from the days of AJ Guyton, Jared Jefferies, Killingsworth, to the shitty years all the way up to the team that just beat kentucky last night
most dramatic finish ever

Jay will was not their best free throw shooter... He was on of there worst
+sTalnaker13 quite sure the stats would say otherwise.
+gaucoin13 He actually was not a good free throw shooter at all when he played at Duke. Around 62-65% roughly, if I remember correctly.
I was at the game in my candy striped pants with my Mom when I was 12. As soon as Jay Will got fouled I turned to her and said "he only shoots 65%" from the line. Weird but one of my most vivid memories from the game.

haha wow, i guess i was. actually, the UK game was more exciting since I was there rushing the court with everyone.
if indiana would have had a coach instead of a recruiter acting as a coach that year they would have won a title,

Those Indiana clowns are still hanging all over Boozer. Terrible no-call.
@livingisaight actually no 7>5 :D
