Indiana continues to embarrass itself by celebrating the 'WatShot'

Do you continue to celebrate a regular season victory from nearly 12 years ago — against a team you ultimately lost to in the NCAA Tournament that same season, no less? Then you might be an Indiana basketball fan.

It has been 4,271 days since Christian Watford hit the left-wing 3-pointer at the buzzer to beat Kentucky inside Assembly Hall in 2011. The Wildcats were No. 1 in the nation and the Hoosiers were undefeated at the time, inarguably the biggest win of Tom Crean’s career in Bloomington.

No matter the insignificance in the grand scheme of things — again, Kentucky beat Indiana in the Sweet 16 just three months later, scoring 102 points in regulation — the Hoosiers continue to celebrate the win.
