Hoosier fans celebrate Duke upset
BLOOMINGTON, IN — Hundreds of Indiana University students flooded the
streets to celebrate the Hoosiers' upset of defending NCAA champion Duke
74-73 Thursday night.
Braving freezing temperatures, Indiana fans poured out of bars,
fraternity houses, dorms and off-campus apartments, spraying beer and
chanting, ``Let's go Hoosiers!'' and ``I-U!''
``In 49 states, this is a game,'' said Bloomington resident Ian Sheeler.
``In Indiana, this is a way of life.''
Indiana's victory put it in the NCAA tournament's final eight for the
first time since Bob Knight took the team there in 1993.
