You can hear the crowd going absolutely wild.
Eventually, Catalon began to say,"Why don't the cheerleaders, they're used to going up high" — just as Hoosiers cheerleaders Nathan Paris and Cassidy Cerny executed a partner stunt to go retrieve the ball. With Cerny standing on his hands, Paris walked over to behind the hoop and pressed Cerny overhead, where she easily grabbed the ball and tossed it down to the court.
And they made it look like NBD."It was too high to get for the grounds crew and they didn't want anybody on the steps, so I grabbed Cass and we're like, 'alright push up and we'll see if it works,'" Paris toldAfter the game, Cerny posted a photo of the momentTheir moment of fame continued into Friday, when Cerny and Paris appeared.
Unfortunately, that crowd support didn't help Indiana in the game itself; they lost to Saint Mary's 82-53. As for the IU cheerleading team? They'll live on as the first viral heroes of this year's March Madness.
