Indiana, Purdue, Butler, and IUPUI won. The Pacers and Colts lost. And I played on an untalented but gritty team in a three-on-three driveway event. Throw some high school hoops into the mix, and there was plenty of good, bad, and a little creepy over the weekend. Here is a list of my best and […]
After losing to Wake Forest and UNLV in the Maui Invitational, it is even more important for Indiana basketball fans to remain positive – if only for their own sanity..
