Video: The Indiana, Kentucky Basketball History
ATLANTA, GA — Last time Indiana and Kentucky played everyone witnessed, “The Shot Heard Around The World,” from Christian Watford. The Bloomington hero will definitely need to play a key role in the second meeting this Friday. Kentucky is a different team from when they lost in Assembly Hall to the Hoosiers, 73-72 earlier this season. The play of Anthony Davis has Kentucky looking like a Final Four contender, while Indiana is looking for a lot of role players to step up for the absence of senior Verdell Jones, who suffered a torn ACL in the Big Ten Tournament. Here are the other previous years from the Tom Crean and John Calipari rivalry.
The Kentucky, Indiana rivalry has the Wildcats in front with 31-24 record in the series, but no game will be bigger than this sweet 16 match up Friday at 9:45pm(est). Here are the post game quotes from both coaches after the last meeting this season in Bloomington, Indiana after the upset of the year.
Tom Crean on the feeling as the final shot went through the net:
“Stunned. I wanted to make sure it counted because I saw the referees running over to the monitor so I wanted to hold the excitement there. I talked to John (Calipari), shook hands with a couple of guys and just wanted to wait and then when you could see on the clock that it was off and through before the red light came on, take a moment to raise the hands and then I just really wanted to find my family and my wife.”
Coach Calipari comparing this year’s Indiana team to the one three years ago:
“You have to understand, that last team three years ago made those shots and Tom [Crean] had them ready, they just didn’t have enough of a size so we got them inside. This team is big, [Christian] Watford is now better. Athletically they’re better. Tom’s done a great job.”
