IU beats #1 Kentucky!!!






Well, it was a loud crazy night at our house.  Indiana is undefeated coming into this game against Kentucky, who is ranked #1.  They led the entire game and almost gave it away at the end.... until Watford hit a buzzer beater... and won the game!  Eric was going NUTS, I jumped out of my chair and Lauren was jumping up and down cheering!  Elise wasn't sure what to think.  For those that don't realize the magnitude of this win let me tell you.... IU has pretty much fallen apart since Bobby Knight left.  We had a crumby coach that came in, actually he was a great coach, just a cheater, and when he was fired, most of the team left or got booted off... so the last 3-4 years have been very painful to watch, but now, they are getting good recruits again, they are winning against good teams and if just FEELS like it used to when every game was a good one and so much excitement, instead of dread of "another game".   So this was big and it's really funny to watch Eric get so into the games again.... the spark is back.... no let's hope this is only the beginning of an awesome season.
