INDY FLICK The Hoosiers' Cody Zeller (40) gets off a shot in traffic against the Kentucky trio (from far left) of Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Anthony Davis and Doron Lamb during last Saturday's game in Bloomington. Indiana would turn the college hoops world upside down when Christian Watford knocked down a buzzer-beating three to give the Hoosiers a 73--72 win over the top-ranked Wildcats.
