The Indiana Hoosiers knocked of the Cinderella hopeful VCU Rams on Saturday March 17. Indiana played one of their worst games of the year turning it over 23 times in a 63-61 victory. Christian Watford lead the Hoosiers in scoring, hitting multiple 3-point shots throughout the game. Hoosier nation was in shock after the first half, Indiana was down due to Shocka Smart’s ruthless pressure defense forcing the Hoosiers to break the press and turn it over. The Big Ten ended up with 6 teams in the tournament and now 4 still remain in the Sweet 16 along with 4 team from the Big East, given that they were the two superior conferences in the country this year. The Hoosiers will now face off in a grudge match from December with the Kentucky Wildcats; in the first meeting Christian Watford hit a game winning 3-pointer as time ran out to beat the Wildcats 73-72. It should be a great game as long as the Hoosiers can shut down the All-American at Center for the Wildcats, Anthony Davis (14.3 points and 10.0 rebounds per game) who was also named the Defensive Player of the Year. Indiana will have to get Davis in foul trouble, limit turnovers, and get the ball to Cody Zeller in the post, who is an All-Conference player and also a Freshman of the Year Candidate. The game takes place Friday night at 9:00 o’clock. The Thriller couldn’t get here soon enough for this Indiana Fanatic!
