Indiana ends Kentucky curse with nail-biting second-round win

The last time Indiana and Kentucky met, it was in the Sweet Sixteen in the 2012 NCAA Tournament. The two teams met a round earlier on Saturday.

In a back-and-forth affair, the fifth-seeded Hoosiers pulled out a 73-67 victory over the No. 4 Wildcats to punch their ticket to the Sweet Sixteen.

"This is one that should have been played on another weekend," Indiana coach Tom Crean told CBS Sports. "We know we beat an outstanding team. I don't want to stop coaching this team and that's what I'm so thankful for — that I get to coach them another week.
