It was a great atmosphere and just a great showing of poise by the young Cats. Is anyone else beginning to really hate Indiana fans? They are being very obnoxious about the upcoming game. They are talking so much trash, yet they have nothing to back it up. I understand they are excited about their team, they should be. They haven't been good in a while and they finally think they have a NCAA tourney team. That's all well and good, but there is no reason to act like they are acting. The UNC-UK game was a huge game for both programs, but the fan bases respect each other and there didn't seem to be this rude undertone to their interactions. It was more of a good natured ribbing type thing. Maybe the Hoosier fans know something I don't and they will win on Saturday. However, I doubt it.

Yeah, I don't really get the IU hate. I expect that kind of talk from UofL fans - at least their squad is halfway relevant - but not Hoosier fans. Sigh, I guess they can't get over it's been a quarter century since their last national championship. As for Saturday, Keith Smart is not walking through that door.

I agree completely with what you say.
The Hoosiers won't win saturday though, UK is better everywhere, so barring a terrible game, they will win.

Any team can win in any game no matter who is playing. Saying a team "will not win" is never a good thing to say.

DAGGER!

Agreed. Congrats to IU on that win, but I only say the first half and the end of the game.
The first half there were a ton of no calls and bad foul calls, but that is to be expected at their court.
Terrible 3 point defense so far, same against UNC

I missed a lot of the second half, I arrived at Buffalo Wild Wings right when Doron Lamb stole the ball.
Missed free throws are terrible, just like Calipari's Memphis team.
Tom Crean looks like that is finally his team, getting a lot better from the previous years.

Having front row seats to this game and storming the court after = pretty much the best moment of my life. The atmosphere was unreal.
