by Kent Sterling Just because the Indiana Hoosiers season ended in disappointment with the Big Ten Tourney loss to Illinois, the news doesn’t stop rolling out of Bloomington. Senior Will Sheehey will play in the Reese’s D-1 All-Star Game at Cowboys Stadium. If you are planning to attend the game in person, ignore the TV […]
by Kent Sterling Indiana had their chances – up 38-33 with a chance to extend the lead to seven, but the shots that missed for Illinois earlier started to fall and the turnovers that have plagued the Hoosiers all season extracted their toll. And the season ended for this young Hoosiers team. Of course, Indiana […]
by Kent Sterling Excuse me if you have heard this before, but the Indiana Hoosiers are a strange team. If I told you before yesterday’s game that I believed the Hoosiers would score 93 points to beat the 20th ranked team in the country, but that Yogi Ferrell and Noah Vonleh – the best two […]
by Kent Sterling Railing about the preseason schedule of whatever team you back is as much a part of the August and September lives of major conference basketball fans as watching them during November and December, but I’m not doing it. Criticizing a program for only sporadically challenging itself with NCAA Tournament bound competition is […]
by Kent Sterling Back and forth I go about the predicted fortunes of the Indianapolis Colts. They are projected to win anywhere from six to 12 games, and that’s an unusually huge swath between potential success and failure.

by Kent Sterling The emails started as soon as Cody Zeller was announced as the fourth overall pick in last night’s NBA Draft. “How in the hell did the team with the second and fourth best players in college basketball not advance beyond the Sweet Sixteen?” “Crean had 2 and 4 and same outcome as […]
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 […]
by Kent Sterling The re-emergence of Indiana University’s basketball program has been a steady upward climb since the remnants of the grim Kelvin Sampson era walked out the door after not finding new coach Tom Crean to their liking. But like every climb, up can only be so high, and now after rising to the […]
by Kent Sterling Weird on a day that saw the Indiana Hoosiers lose to Butler to write about what a great job Tom Crean is doing in Bloomington as the architect of a reclamation project that the programmers of HGTV wouldn’t touch with a ten foot support beam. The truth is that kids are developing […]
