by Dustin Lytle The Indy Pro Am is an annual event put on by former IUPUI star Carlos Knox that places local basketball players against former and current NBA players. This year’s league is hosted at IUPUI’s gymnasium on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6-10pm. There are four games per night. Former and current NBA [...]
by Jeff Showalter While there is a lot of sports and news worthy stories going on, there isn’t one thing that is really earth shattering so it is time to go with some views on many topics. JMV will have Larry Lackluster on today. I hope JMV asks Bird to explain to the few season [...]
by Kent Sterling This is the second consecutive year a Butler Bulldog has taken the chance to jump from the Horizon League to THE league, as in the NBA. No one knows where Mack will be drafted, but his roommate and teammate for the past three years has all the confidence in the world in [...]

I can see it, not because I went to school at Indiana, but because I’m good at seeing what’s coming. Those [...]

We’re not talking about, Duke or North Carolina or UCLA or Indiana. We’re talkin’ about Butler.” Think about the magnitude of what Butler did. Even though they lost both games, [...]
