That was the best game in MY life. When we had 5.6 seconds left, I shouted out to the people at my house (we were having a party) "Omg..We are obviously going to lose.....i can't watch." Then my dad said, "Sweetie! YOU ARE WATCHING! This could be the best game in your life. You could remember this moment forever!" Boy, it sure was....
I've been an IU fan for 40 years through thick and thin, and this ranks right up there with some of their greatest moments in terms of significance in light of all the program has been through..... I appreciate that Calapari also recognized this and was gracious in the loss and in his after game comments..... Gotta Love them Hoosiers......! Sweet victory.....!
Don Fisher IS Indiana Basketball. Even if game on TV we turn it down to listen to Don. Your sync with the TV video portion & Don's narration is priceless. Can't stop watching/listening to it.!! Thanks so much for posting it!!!
just watched this video for the 971-973rd time. i was born in bloomington and was a freshman at iu when they made that run to the championship game in 2002. this brings a tear to my eye every time. it doesnt matter what anyone says, this was a great game all around with one of the most electric atmospheres ever (i could feel it through the tv, eventhough i didnt have the balls to actually watch the last five minutes).
Best game I've ever been to. But I must say, the best part is not even IU winning - it's seeing the stunned looks on Kentucky's faces. It's seeing the crowd's reaction, and seeing the blue in the crowd get suddenly swallowed up by a sea of red leaping into the air as that ball passes through the hoop. AMAZING
So glad my bro and I didn't sell our tickets. Section C row 21 right at mid court. Up there with one of the best Hoosier games I've ever seen!!!! Donny's reaction was similar to mine lol.
Love Don Fischer's call. Use to listen to him all the time on the radio when IU wasn't on TV. IU has great recruits coming. Each player on this IU team can shoot. No one is a liabilty. Zeller is just going to get stronger.
It came over the wire today that the IU UK series is coming to an end. The end of a great rivalry between these two here clubs. This video is the last regular season meeting, at least for the time being, between these two. And it was one to remember. IU UK was one of college basketball's prominent rivalries. I am very sad to see it go, and I am neither an IU nor a UK fan.
Every college student section in the country, pay attention people, this is when it actually deserves everyone storming the court, IU hasnt been nothing the past three years and for them to beat the number one team like this deserves every bit of celebration that happened.
I was a sophomore in 1987, the last time a banner was hung. Still a proud member of the Hoosier Nation. Go get another banner, there's still room to hang one. And tonight, trash the place!
@aceace14 my family's season tickets are right behind the IU bench. Crean and 2 of the assistant coaches were recruiting hard before the start of the game, came behind the bench and were talking to the group of recruits (of which there were at least 5 or 6 sitting next to us). The kids all had their phones out recording the crazy atmosphere at the start of the game just in awe of the place. If this game doesn't convince those kids to come play for IU, I'm not sure anything will.
@JD1335 Umm that's Tom Crean, he's the Indiana coach. He's not pissed, he was worried that the refs would call it back because he saw them run over to review it. He was celebrating soon after they confirmed it was good.
This was a beautiful thing this year. BTW...saw they took the fish out of the fountain for the game tonight. You can thank us for that. We stole them, took three weeks to find the last one, which was eventually recovered in the mall. Not that I know anything about that...
Fight for the cream and crimson Loyal sons of our old IU Fight for your Alma Mater And the school you love so true Fight for old Indiana See her victories safely through GO! IU! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! For the glory of old IU!
Indiana, our Indiana Indiana, we're all for you We will fight for the cream and crimson For the glory of old IU (I-U!) Never daunted, we cannot falter In the battle we're tried and true Indiana, our Indiana Indiana, we're all for you!
@61fullspeed I can guarantee that was 100% accurate. My undergraduate degrees are from IU-Bloomington, and I can confirm that they do celebrate in the streets after big win like this, especially against a rival like Kentucky or Purdue. It's nice to see something go well for the Hoosiers. I was at IU when Knight was fired, and they've had quite a few messes to contend with since that time.
IU men’s basketball Coach Tom Crean committed a secondary recruiting violation Oct. 6 while contacting a prospective student athlete, according to the IU Athletics Department. The contact availability with recruits ended Oct. 5, but Crean had contact with a high school senior the following day. In the release, IU will reduce the number of recruiting days in person by two days to 128 days.
There's a difference between classless and passion. It's Indiana, it's all passion. If you ever experienced the history and what we'd gone through lately you might understand.
I have watch the video at the 25 second mark 200+ times! I wish we (ohio state) had bad season so that we could know what a win like this felt like. It's not fun being on top! :(
Indiana, our Indiana Indiana, we're all for you! We will fight for the cream and crimson For the glory of old IU Never daunted, we cannot falter In the battle, we're tried and true Indiana, our Indiana, Indiana we're all for you! I-U!

I.U! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! For the glory of old I. U.!
If UK fans have never had the adreneline to rush the floor after a game, I feel sorry for them! What a wonderful part of the college experience to have a game like this, to be so excited you rush the floor! These kids will NEVER forget this game! Hell, I won't forget it & I watched on TV!! These comments are just sour grapes from the usual obnoxious UK fans. I know a FEW cool UK fans, but they are few & far between. IU showed class w/their losing seasons, UK fans don't KNOW class. Always griping
@b20jdmintegra If all goes well, your (and my) wish will come true. I'd love to have another shot at you guys to add another chapter to this historic rivalry.
Great game against two awesome opponents! I didn't like all of IU's turnovers, as evidenced by the last two minutes of the game. When Mr Watford drilled that 3 as time expired, I yelled at the tv, "Are you kidding me?!?!" Why didn't Kentucky foul? Great game! Expect it to be on ESPN for awhile, as opposed to the Cincinnati vs. Xavier disgrace.
@jgleitz5019 hey whats the series record 31-24 who has more championships oh and more wins. enjoy it this year because at rupp its gonna be a thrashing
I WAS THERE. Absolute craziness!! Zeller was an excellent addition to the team, but this win shows that they had it in them all along..they just needed a boost....like this :P Add me IU folks!
Oh yeah... I hope none of the IU royalty take that last comment seriously.just my thoughts from a wildcat frame of mind! Go IU-win or lose,we back you b'cuz of character, mental strength,legacy,skill, and the determination to win, WITHOUT having to callipari !!! IU will always be the the most dignified, successful. BASKETBALL was born here bitches!!!!
@bandpickle2000 He thought Christain didn't get the shot off in time. I was there and was actually on the court. He said it in an interview. I just read it online.
OHHHHHHHHHHHH! IT WENT IN!! ..IT WENT IN!! AND INDIANA WINS THE BALL GAME! CHRISTIAN WATFORD WITH A 3...AND THE HOOSIERS HAVE KNOCKED OFF THE #1 RANKED KENTUCKY WILDCATS. #ThisisIndiana
@TroutJosh914 This is the audio from the radio broadcast. That is the voice of Don Fischer. He is as much a part of Indiana Basketball as anybody. Gus Johnson is a joke and on his best day will never be close to Fisch. I might let young people like you bother me, but we got a ball team again so I'm in pretty good spirits.
@TheHattMoward Indiana is 29-66, and 8-46 in Big Ten play through Crean's tenure, and INDIANA'S BACK?!? Because you beat a #1 team at home in December? I'd let the season play out before you start getting too excited. Come back in March.
Yes, gottta love Fisch...gotta love this team...gotta love this Coach...gotta love this program...I am very proud of 'Our Indiana'!
That was the best game in MY life. When we had 5.6 seconds left, I shouted out to the people at my house (we were having a party) "Omg..We are obviously going to lose.....i can't watch." Then my dad said, "Sweetie! YOU ARE WATCHING! This could be the best game in your life. You could remember this moment forever!"
Boy, it sure was....

I will never get tired of watching this. Best fans in the world! WE'RE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just watched this video for the 971-973rd time. i was born in bloomington and was a freshman at iu when they made that run to the championship game in 2002. this brings a tear to my eye every time. it doesnt matter what anyone says, this was a great game all around with one of the most electric atmospheres ever (i could feel it through the tv, eventhough i didnt have the balls to actually watch the last five minutes).
I watch this every time i get bored. Never gets old.
Don Fischer is the greatest radio announcer ever. Whoever synced up this video, thank you.
Just watched this for the 100th time and I'm still getting chills. So glad I could hear Don's call.
Gotta love this...one of the best games I've ever seen!
"IT WENT IN! IT WENT IN!"
Now that right there brought chills down my spine. Amazing.
This is the most beautiful thing i've seen Hoosiers are back!
I was there!!!! it was the first game I had been to in 25 years. I could have not asked for a better game
Great win for the Hoosiers! UK is loaded so it was especially nice. Thanks for the clip!
Thanks FWBR. What a way to make your return! Nice vid. Priceless.
As many times as I've seen this, it's always been the call with Shulman and Vitale
Thank you for putting the Don Fischer feed with the game
Best game I've ever been to. But I must say, the best part is not even IU winning - it's seeing the stunned looks on Kentucky's faces. It's seeing the crowd's reaction, and seeing the blue in the crowd get suddenly swallowed up by a sea of red leaping into the air as that ball passes through the hoop. AMAZING
I FINALLY found a clip of Don Fischer calling this! THANK YOU!
Great Video, I finally got to hear Don Fischer's call of the game!! Yes, Tom Crean's expression is indeed "PRICELESS"!!!
Great job on the audio sync and Thanks for doing this.
So glad my bro and I didn't sell our tickets. Section C row 21 right at mid court. Up there with one of the best Hoosier games I've ever seen!!!! Donny's reaction was similar to mine lol.
Damn proud to be a Hoosier!!!!! Way to go guys!!!!! Good to see IU BBall is BACK!!!!
Love Don Fischer's call. Use to listen to him all the time on the radio when IU wasn't on TV. IU has great recruits coming. Each player on this IU team can shoot. No one is a liabilty. Zeller is just going to get stronger.
I haven't seen anything that fantastic in IU basketball since 1987.
Paperboy is right. Congrats C-Wat, Coach Crean, and the entire IU squad. We love you!
Storming that court was as much fun as I've ever had. We're baaaaaaack, Go Hoosiers!
i was there and will remember this forever

Greatest non-playoff game I've ever seen.
Every college student section in the country, pay attention people, this is when it actually deserves everyone storming the court, IU hasnt been nothing the past three years and for them to beat the number one team like this deserves every bit of celebration that happened.
IT WENT IN! IT WENT IN! Wish I could have been there!!!
I was a sophomore in 1987, the last time a banner was hung. Still a proud member of the Hoosier Nation. Go get another banner, there's still room to hang one. And tonight, trash the place!
Is that Fisher announcing? Haven't heard him in years....glad he is still around.

Glad to see we are back where we belong!
Greetings from Btown! Tough loss tonight. But, we're back!
everytime i watch this i get so HYPE!
Shucks, I'm a Purdue fan and I think this is pretty awesome. Gotta respect Indiana basketball.
This was a beautiful thing this year. BTW...saw they took the fish out of the fountain for the game tonight. You can thank us for that. We stole them, took three weeks to find the last one, which was eventually recovered in the mall.
Not that I know anything about that...
Thanks for posting. Hopefully it wont get pulled.
Iu deserves to win they played hard shout out to brother c love ya
@V35H I keep replaying just that part, laughing hysterically! By far the best part of the night lol
Just got voted Geico's Best College Basketball play of the year and #iubb is ranked Top 10. Yes sir.
I listened to Don Fischer call the 1987 Championship game... almost an identical call

@matchesmalone45 correction: led by 10 at MORE THAN one point.
@61fullspeed I can guarantee that was 100% accurate. My undergraduate degrees are from IU-Bloomington, and I can confirm that they do celebrate in the streets after big win like this, especially against a rival like Kentucky or Purdue.

That ending will never get old! Let's GO INDIANA!

This was the most exciting because it put my school at the top. SYRACUSEEE ^

Tom Crean's face is priceless.
01:59 Everyone in the arena jumps simultaneously. Great shot.
I was at that game it was so fun!
Modern day Dick Vitale and Don Fischer's version of a buzzer beater.
did anyone notice at first they put the 3 points on uk?
@b20jdmintegra If all goes well, your (and my) wish will come true. I'd love to have another shot at you guys to add another chapter to this historic rivalry.
Crean's reaction makes this whole thing haha.
Great game against two awesome opponents! I didn't like all of IU's turnovers, as evidenced by the last two minutes of the game. When Mr Watford drilled that 3 as time expired, I yelled at the tv, "Are you kidding me?!?!" Why didn't Kentucky foul? Great game! Expect it to be on ESPN for awhile, as opposed to the Cincinnati vs. Xavier disgrace.
@rgrizzy88 so you're a boilermaker? or a wildcat?
either way, see you then
@jgleitz5019 hey whats the series record 31-24 who has more championships oh and more wins. enjoy it this year because at rupp its gonna be a thrashing
lmao at Crean's face. He's like "Get off deez nutz boi."
Gus Johnson seriously needs to provide his own reaction for this. I know it wouldn't quite be the same since he wasn't actually there, but still.
Crean's facial expression is priceless.
@ryryherendeen Most of us give IU credit. We pray we see you again in the tourny. Where it matters most.
This is INDIANA! And this is what WE do!
@hazaratkhan what's your point? Kentucky committed 27 of those last year. Purdue committed 11, Butler 8. Those aren't uncommon.
I WAS THERE. Absolute craziness!! Zeller was an excellent addition to the team, but this win shows that they had it in them all along..they just needed a boost....like this :P Add me IU folks!
did anyone notice they added 3 to uk?
Oh yeah... I hope none of the IU royalty take that last comment seriously.just my thoughts from a wildcat frame of mind! Go IU-win or lose,we back you b'cuz of character, mental strength,legacy,skill, and the determination to win, WITHOUT having to callipari !!! IU will always be the the most dignified, successful. BASKETBALL was born here bitches!!!!
Bwahahahaha!!!! Crean's face!! This vid still gives me goosebumps.
@lxndr95 i'm the opposite i keep looking for iu clips on here and i keep getting some singer
@bandpickle2000 He thought Christain didn't get the shot off in time. I was there and was actually on the court. He said it in an interview. I just read it online.
OHHHHHHHHHHHH! IT WENT IN!! ..IT WENT IN!! AND INDIANA WINS THE BALL GAME! CHRISTIAN WATFORD WITH A 3...AND THE HOOSIERS HAVE KNOCKED OFF THE #1 RANKED KENTUCKY WILDCATS. #ThisisIndiana
0:30 BEST PART EVAR!

@drummerboyfromspace A reasonable Purdue fan. I respect you
This year we get best play. Next year we will get best team! HOO HOO HOO HOOSIERS!!!
Who was Indiana coach before Creen?

Proud to be a Hoosier.
Great job IU!!

Don Fisher is the best.. Un-Believable!
@TroutJosh914 This is the audio from the radio broadcast. That is the voice of Don Fischer. He is as much a part of Indiana Basketball as anybody.
Gus Johnson is a joke and on his best day will never be close to Fisch. I might let young people like you bother me, but we got a ball team again so I'm in pretty good spirits.
