by Kent Sterling Indiana University has released a comment from Tom Crean detailing the immediate consequence of Hanner Mosquiera-Perea’s early morning arrest for operating without a license. “I had a chance to speak with Hanner before we left for Purdue,” Crean is quoted in the release distributed tonight at 8:46p. “The first things I told […]
by Kent Sterling On today’s Breakfast with Kent, I extolled the virtues of Indiana University Basketball coach Tom Crean, including the fact that players don’t get in trouble. Strike that from the list of Indiana Basketball’s attributes. According to a report on Fox 59, developing big man Hanner Perea was arrested at 4:45 this morning […]
by Kent Sterling The truth always lies in the middle someplace, and as the chief potentate of Indiana Basketball Tom Crean isn’t as bad a coach as his critics believe nor as good as his ardent supporters assert. This morning the critics voices are loudly decrying last night’s miserable collapse in Bloomington at the hands […]
by Kent Sterling Trying to find a word that fairly and generously describes Indiana’s failed effort to hold onto an 11-point lead with two-and-a-half minutes to play is difficult. The best I can muster is “inept.” Yogi Ferrell made Indiana’s final field goal of the game with 5:16 left, and the Hoosiers turned the ball […]
by Kent Sterling If Indiana beats Penn State tonight at Assembly, legitimate hope for an NCAA Tournament berth will live. With a loss, the Hoosiers drop to 4-7 in the Big Ten, including home losses to the Nittany Lions and Northwestern. That spells tap city. There was a time in Big Ten Basketball where the […]
by Kent Sterling Why doesn’t freshman Noah Vonleh get the ball every possession, and when he gets it, why doesn’t he create offense? This is question one on the minds of Hoosiers fans after watching Indiana fall to 4-6 in the Big Ten tonight as Minnesota fought back from a 13-point deficit to win 66-60. […]
by Kent Sterling Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean says all the right things during his post game media availability. After the win against Michigan yesterday, Crean spread the credit far and wide, and of course he’s right. Basketball is a team game, and every one of the players and members of the staff contribute to […]
by Kent Sterling Yogi Ferrell. Mentioning anyone or anything else as a reason for Indiana beating Michigan this afternoon is silly. Yogi Ferrell shot, led, and defended like a champion today. He asserted his considerable will and accurate bombing from outside the arc as he propelled the Hoosiers to another win over a ranked opponent […]
by Kent Sterling There are a many reasons I’m not a basketball coach, but one of the reasons I’m glad I’m not a basketball coach is what tonight will be like for Indiana’s Tom Crean. I wouldn’t sleep because I would have spent tonight’s game lamenting that I had no idea how to get the […]
by Kent Sterling Rebuilding college football teams can take a lot of time. The spoils of the first recruiting class of a new coach can’t really be assessed until the coach’s fourth year on the job. Guess what year Indiana coach Kevin Wilson is looking toward. This is the year of reckoning – the year […]
