Indiana stuns No. 1 Kentucky at the buzzer

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Indiana finally has the horses to beat top-ranked Kentucky.

Christian Watford's buzzer-beating 3-pointer from the left wing stood up to a replay review tonight, giving the Hoosiers a stunning 73-72 upset.

The lead changed hands five times in the final 121 seconds before Watford's big shot set off a wild scene, with Indiana fans storming the court and crowding around players. Hoosiers coach Tom Cream and the officials stood side-by-side, pressed up against the scorer's table to look at the replay.

When the officials counted the basket, Cream pumped his fist and four players wound up standing on top of the scorer's table as fans partied on the court and the pep band continued to play its songs.

Watford finished with 20 points in Indiana's first upset of a top-ranked team since taking down Duke in the 2002 NCAA tournament. The only other time they had beaten a No. 1 team in Bloomington was Jan. 7, 2001, when Kirk Hasten hit a buzzer-beater to knock off No. 1 Michigan State 59-58.
