Ramesh C. ReddyManaging EditorIndiana Hoosiers trailed the Duke Blue Devils by 13 points most of the way during the Sweet 16 South regional in Lexington, Kentucky’s Rupp Arena until things started changing in the 2nd half. With 15:53 left in the game, the Hoosiers cut the lead to 10. With 6:30 left in the game IU, Pitt, and Kent St fans were going crazy as the Hoosiers cut the Blue Devil’s lead to 6 and had the ball.

Imagine being in the stands and experiencing the excitement of IU fans in red, Pitt fans in blue & gold, and Kent St fans in yellow all about to see if the Hoosiers can fire the hot Blue Devils from the Sweet 16.
