The Kentucky Wildcats plan on taking the national title this year, but no victory will feel sweeter to them than a defeat over the Indiana Hoosiers in the Sweet 16 of the 2012 NCAA tournament.
The Wildcats lost just one regular-season game this entire year, which dated back to December 10, 2011, as the team visited the Hoosiers at Assembly Hall in Bloomington, IN.
Both teams were off to an 8-0 start, but the Hoosiers were unranked at the time. The game was close, as the first half closed with a score 30-29, Hoosiers.
The second half was even closer, as both teams scored 43 points, to end the game with a final score of 73-72.
Considering how things ended in that game—with a Hoosiers buzzer-beating three-pointer to take a one-point lead to finish the game—the Wildcats likely feel that they were stripped of a win they deserved.
