Indiana Basketball – Hanner Mosquera-Perea Reinstated from Indefinite Suspension After Two Games
by Kent Sterling Two games. That’s it. Two games. One of the most recognizable students at Indiana University allegedly gets hammered, makes the irreconcilably stupid and irresponsible decision to get behind the wheel of a car, and gets arrested.

by Kent Sterling There was no way the Indiana Hoosiers were going to lose on my birthday. It hans’t happened since Bob Knight’s final season, and runs the winning streak on February 22nd to four games.

Reminders about keeping the importance of Indiana Basketball in perspective don’t need to come with the loss of life during a game. Six and a half hours later, and at least one death […]
by Kent Sterling The best part of participating in sports as a part of a college education is the almost relentless confrontations with adversity that present themselves. Fight or flight is a choice college athletes make everyday – sometimes more than once each day. Should they stay at their original school? Should they continue to […]
by Kent Sterling Indiana has six games left to try to find some redemption for this lost season. After losing 82-64 to Purdue yesterday, the chances of a late turnaround appear remote. The easily rankled Hoosiers fan base sped past the exit for agitated and judgmental, and are headed for vituperative and vengeful, the final outposts […]
by Kent Sterling Some shows, hosts get to choose from a bunch of great guests and topics to inform and entertain listeners, and others have topicality thrust upon them. Today is one of the latter for “Ahead of the Curve” with Fox 59 sports director Chris Hagan and me on 1070 the Fan/107.5 FM (Indianapolis) […]
