On October 30, Trey Kaufman will announce his decision to attend and play basketball at either Indiana, Purdue, North Carolina, Virginia, or Indiana State.

For as long as I can remember, I have been a guy who liked to call BS on cowardly management, corrupt policies, and bad mojo. Until today.

Indiana’s athletic department has more money than UConn can begin to […]

Bruiser Flint is turning his back on Indiana’s basketball program to embrace the dark side of college basketball at the University of Kentucky, where he will reportedly replace Kenny Payne, who is leaving UK to become an assistant with the New York Knicks, […]
So a kid named Jonathan Kuminga is going to forego his opportunity to play as a freshman at Duke or Kentucky to earn cash in the G-League, which means people are going to declare college basketball a dying game.
