cybergates Posted March 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Game 5 VS The opening game of day two has the “Wat-Shot” 2012 Hoosiers with future NBA players Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo facing off with the Van Arsdale twins (Tom & Dick) and Jon McGlocklin of the 1965 Indiana team. Tom Crean takes his 1st winning team at IU to the court named after the man on the opposing bench, Branch McCracken in his 24th and final year with the Hoosiers. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/indiana/2012.html https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/indiana/1965.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011–12_Indiana_Hoosiers_men's_basketball_team https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964–65_Indiana_Hoosiers_men's_basketball_team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybergates Posted March 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Game 6 VS In an intriguing matchup of 6’1” FR guards from IL, AJ Guyton and the 1997 Hoosiers will do battle with Isiah Thomas and the 1980 Indiana team. Both teams will be looking to bounce back from embarrassing exits from the NCAA tournament in their last games. 1997’s 1st round loss to Colorado and 1980’s lost to hated rival Purdue which lead to the Toiletmakers last Final Four appearance. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/indiana/1997.html https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/indiana/1980.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996–97_Indiana_Hoosiers_men's_basketball_team https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979–80_Indiana_Hoosiers_men's_basketball_team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 2012 vs 1965, 1965 makes a free throw to go up 2 with just a little over 5 seconds left. And this is what happened next. Christian Watford tosses it in to Verdell Jones. Jones dribbles it up, tosses it back to Watford, who shoots. WATFORD FOR THE WIN.....YES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 1980 versus 1997. Six NBA players versus not so many. Easy win for the Baby Zekes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today that probably leads the country by a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
