Indiana home has Christmas lights set to memorable play

Found December 07, 2012 on Larry Brown Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Christian Watford
TEAMS: Indiana Hoosiers

From Larry Brown Sports:

A home in Fort Wayne, Ind., has become the envy of Indiana Hoosiers fans everywhere thanks to its amazing Christmas lights display.

The home has an elaborate lights display that is coordinated to the first few seconds of the school’s fight song, followed by the radio play-by-play call of Christian Watford’s memorable buzzer-beater that helped the Hoosiers top No. 1-ranked Kentucky 73-72 last December. The home also has a large IU logo on the roof.

Kentucky beat Indiana in the NCAA Tournament and went on to win its eighth national championship, but that hardly matters to Hoosiers fans who are still commemorating one of the program's best moments in the Tom Crean era a year later.

Big Ten Geeks on IU’s 3-point shooting

Via Inside the Hall  |  December 07, 2012
Big Ten Geeks on IU’s 3-point shooting: The Hoosiers are, predictably, shooting worse than last season, but not by much. Indiana is hitting 40 percent from deep, maintaining the three-point shot as a very valuable weapon. Note that the team average would be 36.5 percent were it not for Remy Abell’s 10 for 12 performance. I thought Matt Roth had graduated, but maybe he’s just...

Thoughts on a 100-69-win over the Blue Devils: I.  Christian Watford has had his struggles finding shots in the flow of Indiana’s transition-heavy offense of late. At times, it’s as if he’s been on his own island hunting for shots to no avail. But Watford was engaged from the onset and actively scoring early in this one. (Tom Crean said after the game he was coming off his...

Indiana homeowner sets Christmas lights to the Christian Watford buzzer beater

A family in Fort Wayne, Indiana took a lot of time to set their Christmas light show to the Christian Watford buzzer beater against the Kentucky Wildcats. This is a lot better than those Skrillex or dubstep Xmas shows other people are doing. P.S. Thank goodness they didn’t have the Dick Vitale call on this. It would automatically put me in the hate category.
