by Kent Sterling Devin Davis – gone for pot possession. Hanner Mosquera-Perea – gone for whatever the hell he was doing when Davis got popped. Isaac Griffith – arrested for DUI just over a year after he nearly drowned while swimming in the Gulf of Mexico after drinking. Davis and Mosquera-Perea are now former basketball […]
by Kent Sterling Tom Crean is employed by Indiana University to execute a number of tasks, but they each fit under the umbrella of the running most visible and powerful marketing initiative IU has available to attract attention and students. Each player and coach of Indiana’s basketball team is a high profile representative of the […]
by Kent Sterling “It all works out,” has been the routine response to questions about Tom Crean’s practice of oversigning players without a publicly shared scheme for how scholarships might be available for the new blood. What is “Creaning”? Division One basketball programs are allotted 13 scholarships, and without knowing how many players might go […]
by Kent Sterling It’s easy to watch the most recent de-evolution of Indiana Basketball and get angry, but let’s take a deep breath and calmly evaluate the events of the last 72 hours. Whatever is going on at Indiana with alcohol-related arrests, dirty drug tests, and the subsequent suspensions, it’s easy to question the culture […]
Dr. Mark Robinson with some much needed advice for Yogi Ferrell, Jameis Winston, and Aldon Smith
by Kent Sterling I vaguely recall Dr. Mark Robinson from his two years as a basketball player for Bob Knight at Indiana, but I’ll remember his words of counsel for athletes for a long time.

It’s Bloomington, and very little has gone unchanged since I left, but Assembly Hall remains exactly the same – […]
by Kent Sterling Hosting “Ahead of the Curve” on 1070 the Fan in Indy and www.1070thefan.com on the web is the best way I can think of to start my weekend, and Fox 59 sports director Chris Hagan and I hope that listening to us while you are in the car or getting ready to […]
Hoosier Hysteria – Assistant Steve McClain Talks About What He Expects from the Hoosiers
by Kent Sterling There is a pressing question for everyone associated with the 2013-2014 Indiana University basketball team, and that is “What are your expectations for this year’s team?” It’s kind of a silly question because there isn’t a sane coach or player associated with this or any other team who will quantify it with […]
by Kent Sterling Yesterday, I did my best to find reasons for hope that Indiana would find a way to cut down the nets in Dallas a year from now. Today, we look at the other end of the spectrum for the Hoosiers 2013-2014 prospects. A lot of things would have to go exactly right […]
