Pat Williams is a dreamer, and his latest dream is well named. The Orlando Dreamers. Over his more than half century as a fearless sports executive, Williams has achieved great success with both good and bad ideas – because his boundless energy turns all ideas into winners. His latest idea might be his nuttiest, but bet […]
For three years, Indiana Hoosiers guard Devonte Green played mistake-filled basketball sprinkled with occasional flashes of excellence. It appeared Green believed himself NBA ready, and that more toiling in Bloomington was an insult to his talent. Through two games this season, it appears Green has turned a corner. In each game, Green has dropped four dimes […]
Soon to be NBA millionaire James Wiseman has been suspended by the NCAA for an additional 11 games as a player at the University of Memphis while he counts the days until his college career ends. Wiseman’s mom accepted a loan of $11,500 from current Memphis coach (he was an AAU and high school coach at the time of […]
Dawson Garcia is tall and talented, and he’s pledged Marquette as his college choice. Marquette was chosen by Garcia over Indiana, Memphis, and his native Minnesota. That’s life.

Fans of basketball programs at Indiana, Marquette, Minnesota and Memphis will be on pins and needles Wednesday afternoon at 4:30p ET as they watch Garcia pull a hat from under a table with the logo of his chosen school.

Even with the best of intentions and motives, violating IHSAA rules that ban recruiting comes with a cost, but the penalties levied against the Southport basketball program for recruiting Nickens Paul Lemba go too far. Lemba, a freshman at Southport, is 6’6″ and originally from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Southport coach Eric Brand paid tuition […]
Indiana lost 34-27 today in Happy Valley and Hoosier fans are celebrating. All over social media, IU fans are talking about how far this team has come and how this loss shows the progress the program is making.

As the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers wrapped a nondescript game last night, something quite descript happened. Browns defensive lineman Myles Garrett took Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph to the ground after Rudolph delivered a screen pass that should have ended the game. Rudolph began grabbing at Garrett’s helmet. Garrett took exception and pulled Rudolph’s helmet from his […]
