Top 10 reasons Troy Williams was right to declare for the NBA Draft #iubb
April 12, 2016
April 12, 2016
The rules are different this year, so the number of college basketball players declaring for the NBA Draft has exploded. Rightly so. College players who don’t hire an agent have until May 25th (10 days after the NBA Draft Combine) to declare their intention to return to school. This is a player friendly rule that […]
Indiana Basketball no longer must see TV on a Saturday night
February 7, 2016
February 7, 2016
So there I stand at Drake’s on 82nd Street in Indianapolis picking up some carry out, and the Indiana game against Penn State starts. A guy I met because he listens to my radio show asks, “Are you sticking around for the Indiana game?” “Nope, just picking up some food,” I tell him. As I […]
Indy’s Morning Sports List – Top 10 reasons to feel good about IU Basketball
December 3, 2015
December 3, 2015
Okay, I admit it. This is just an intellectual exercise to see if I can come up with 10 reasons for optimism about IU Basketball without getting snarky. Last night’s loss at Duke was miserable. The defense was pathetic, and it was one of those 20-point losses that felt much worse. But like Tom Crean […]
Indiana Basketball – Two possible roads to success for Hoosiers are on display in this Final Four
April 2, 2015
April 2, 2015
by Kent Sterling The road to this Final Four was paved in one of two ways. Kentucky coach John Calipari has developed a system to acquire as much talent as possible, enacting it immediately upon arrival in Lexington, while the other three either built or continued a culture of excellence that regenerates each year. Indiana […]
As the Hoosiers and Pacers beat untalented/depleted teams, there is no need for apology
February 23, 2015
February 23, 2015
by Kent Sterling Late in the afternoon yesterday, Indiana took the court against Rutgers University, and it was clear the Hoosiers would roll over the confused and apathetic Scarlett Knights. The Pacers went to work as the Hoosiers game reached halftime against the team with the best record in the NBA – without the best […]
Too many bad losses by Pacers have sent me packing for winter of college and high school hoops

by Kent Sterling Watching mildly talented men play basketball with indifference is not how I want to spend my time, so unless the Pacers find a way to , regain health, start playing with a little determination, and catch fire I’m going to focus my energy on watching Butler, Purdue, Indiana, and whatever high school games […]
Indianapolis Colts and Indiana Hoosiers – Finally, we can talk about what is rather than what might be
September 1, 2014
September 1, 2014
by Kent Sterling There is no season quite as silly as the period between the opening of football training camps and the regular season opener. We try to read tea leaves to figure out what the hell might happen, and no one is wrong because the measure for success is 100% subjective. Now, we get […]
Indiana Basketball – Tom Crean Talks About Leadership and the NCAA
July 28, 2013
by Kent Sterling Indiana Basketball coach Tom Crean is an interesting guy. Regardless of whether you like, love, or loathe him, he’s a lightning rod in Indiana sports who is impossible to ignore. Heading into his sixth year, the challenges of being the head coach at IU will evolve toward a new level of pressure. […]
Baseball is a Different Game Now at Indiana University
May 31, 2013
May 31, 2013
by Kent Sterling Baseball used to be played at a place called Sembower Field that was only feet away from Foster Quad. Oddly, it was a hilly field. Outfielders had to run uphill as they tracked a flyball toward the fence. The bleachers were standard issue, and watching a guy like Bill Mueller hit bombs […]
