Indiana/Wisconsin "The Story Behind the Story"

  By now you probably know that the unranked Indiana Hoosiers took down previously unbeaten and 3rd ranked Wisconsin last night at Assembly Hall. Most of today's headlines are about the students in the stands and not of the accomplishments of the student athletes that played in the game. That does not seem right to me.
 I understand what the so called traditionalist are saying about the court storming. This is Indiana, we have tradition, we have banners, we do things the right way and that is how it is supposed to be. This opinion will never change.
 What has changed is college basketball. Even the team we call "ours", has changed tremendously in recent years. A lot of things have happened since "The General" or even "The denim shirt" led our Hoosiers to victory.
 After the fallout from the actions of "The denim shirt", Crean took over and led the Hoosier to 6 victories in his first season as the Head Coach. Fast forward a few games and Coach Crean, Verdell Jones' pass and Christian Watford's "Wat Shot" takes down #1 Kentucky which leads to the worlds greatest "Court Stormin" in the history of EVER.
 Where were all the critics that night? I don't remember anyone but "Crybaby Cal" complaining. Because it was Indiana basketball being brought back and taking down "Big Blue Nation" everything was fine. In fact everything was how it was supposed to be.
 Since Crean has been at Indiana, until last night, he has never beaten Bo Ryan. Which means those students in the stands, who rushed the court, had never seen us beat the Badgers. So after 12 consecutive losses, ten under Coach Crean against Wisconsin, you can only imagine the feeling in those 19 year old kids chests. Unless of course you are one of them. The unbeaten Badgers took their first loss of the season to the Hoosiers. The third ranked team in America goes down in the "Mecca of College Basketball", the real Assembly Hall.
 If Assembly Hall is the best arena/stadium to watch a game in and if IU truly has the greatest student section in all of college basketball, just think. Just think what it is/was like in college to be a part of what happened last night. In the moment, the student section was in the moment. When your in the moment, you don't think, you react. You react with excitement, you do what feels right. I am glad to see the excitement of Indiana Basketball, back in the hall.
 With that said, I have no problem at all with the students, rushing the floor. No problem at all. It's kids being kids and I like when kids are being kids.
 The problem is all the headlines and stories should be about the team, not the kids in the bleachers. The real story is Yogi leading the troops into battle and taking down the undeafeted Badgers.
