The Daily Hoosier Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 It was 16 years ago today. Do you remember where you were? I lived in southern CA at the time. The game started early for me (I think around 6:30 PT) so I went and watched with co-workers after work. Let's just say that saw a different side of me that night!!! https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/revisiting-indianas-last-win-over-no-1-duke/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuthruandthru Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 I saw AJ Moye a few years ago out in LA and I think he was a little surprised he got recognized out west. First thing I said was you were a great Hoosier and I will never forget that block. I watched that game with my future wife and we screamed like crazy in our apartment the whole game. This game is one of the few I always think of when thinking about favorite games IU has played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Must have been something in the air that night. Watched the game with my future wife as well. OPT's in Broad Ripple. The range of emotions from 10 minutes on in 2nd half??? For those a little younger. Imagine Watford shot and multiple x 5 and it lasts for 10 minutes of game action...or 30-40 minutes of real time. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now everyone is going to wonder if they should have married the girl they were with that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUALUM03 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 I was at IU and breezed through an Econ test because the teach refused to postpone it for the game and ended up failing the test. I ran home and we were down double digits, then was the only of my friends that watched through as they came back. Immediately after we won, I ran to Kirkwood to go nuts...I miss IU. Quick Addition: When we won, I immediately got up and started running around ultimately running through the screen door on a deck and with force making fly down three stories at Terra Trace.

MSHoosier Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 I was in a sports bar in Jackson, Mississippi near my home, but no one else was interested in the game, and I had to get the bartender to specifically call up the game on only 1 tv. I screamed when boozer missed the put back, and everyone else in the bar turned to look at me like they thought I been stabbed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did marry the girl I was with that night. Of course, I married her in 1981. Still married to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 I was teaching at Linton and watched the game at the house of the boys basketball coach. Left immediately for Bloomington to head to sports called in sick on Friday and had a great weekend. At least that is what i was told... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatShot Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I think that game coined the phrase we've been hearing for the last 16 years: "IU BASKETBALL IS BACK!!!!" We've made the NCAA tournament in approximately 50% of the seasons since then, so I guess the phrase is half right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SawatchHoosier Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I was in Rupp Arena. Besides the game one of my fondest memories was hearing a UK season ticket holder next to my Dad and I cheering on Indiana with all his heart. Two days later he wasn't cheering for Indiana during the Kent State game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana Hoosier Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I was a fifth grader in Malta, Montana and we had an all-star basketball tournament in Malta going on during the game. My mom was running the clock for the games at the high school so my twin brother and I got her keys to her classroom at the high school (she is a teacher in Malta) and went and watched the game in her classroom as she was running the clock for the biggest all star tournament in Montana. The tournament was called the HIT (Hi Line Invitational Tournament) and it paired each class with their all stars vs all the other classes. So it was AA, A, B, and C all playing in my hometown of 1,500 people. Good times, remember it like it was yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Downstairs at my childhood home with my dad. I was 10. I was furious when we got so far down early. JJ flexing after we went ahead for the first time, Moye block. Ahhh good times. Thought MD was the answer.. sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I was in Rupp with my brother-in-law. Man, did we get drunk after the game. I am still in a fog!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I was at my house with my then wife watching the game but I got divorced 5 years later. What makes me think how long ago that is that my daughter was 5 and my son was 2, now she is 20 and my son is 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy4iu Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Sitting court level near the baseline in Rupp. Amazing how it turned into a home crowd for us and afterwards at a bar nearby all UK fans were congratulatuing us for taking out the evil duke. I was supposed to leave Lexington after the game to get home for my sister-in-law's wedding the next day. I called my wife after the victory and she just said "you want to stay for the next game don't you?'" I replied "Hell yeah - it's her second wedding, I went to the first one and we already gave her a toaster!" My wife laughed and said I should stay and that Brenda would understand. LOVELY! Went to the final 4 in Atlanta as well. Have a great story about getting my tickets lifted but that is a LONG story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Oh yeah. I was home. My neighbor, a Dookie, had, with a big smile, had, with great ego, laughingly bet that if IU won he'd hit the bars wearing an IU cheerleader uni. The next night, at the bars, was a lot of fun.

Hoosier Daddy 4 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Watched the game with my future wife in our new house with a small group of friends. Went crazy with that block. Unfortunately was in Medical School and turned down tickets for that game and final four. Four kids later we still live and die with every game and attend most home games at least a few of us.

jefftheref Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I watched the game at my house in Portage, Michigan. My son was home on leave from the Marine Corps along with two his his buddies. I flew them all home from Camp LeJuene for a long weekend. His two buddies were Mexican, one from Houston, Texas and one from Los Angeles. I think I scared the crap out of his two buddies with all the yelling, cussing, jumping up and down and throwing things that went on during the game. His two buddies told me I acted like on of their deranged drill sergeants. I took that as a compliment, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
