Tennessee signee Scotty Hopson warmed up for Monday’s debut in the Rocky Top League with a dazzling shot.
Hopson heaved a shot from beyond halfcourt — estimated at 62 feet — at the buzzer that sailed into the basket, but it was too late. Kentucky lost 83-82 to Indiana in Friday night’s All-Star basketball game at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Indiana overcame an early 11-point deficit and used stifling defense to force 29 turnovers and win their eighth straight over Kentucky.
Hopson played 19 minutes and finished with 14 points (5-of-13 shooting and 3-of-3 from 3-point range) and five rebounds, but turned the ball over six times.
Indiana will play Kentucky again on Sunday at Louisville Gardens.
