by Kent Sterling I get it. Leaving Indiana University early in exchange for $10-million is a decision I would have made with glee. When I was approved as a senior for a Sears Credit Card with a credit limit of $260, I threw a party. Telling a kid not to leave is lunacy. But that’s […]
by Kent Sterling I’m calling it right now. Indiana will win. Yesterday, I picked Louisville to win by six. What happened? Louisville won by six. I’m on a roll, and this top ten is an effort to strike while the iron is hot. 10 – Indiana won their last two titles in 1981 and 1987. […]
by Kent Sterling Tonight two teams other than Indiana University will play for the National Championship, but this afternoon was a perfect time to relive some of the moments and people who have made the Indiana Basketball program unique in its purity and success. There was a time when March came with an air of […]

But like every climb, up can only be so high, and now after rising to the […]
by Kent Sterling Everyone knows that the so-called experts haven’t got a license on prognostication any more than the women who watch one half on college hoops and then win their office pool, but the day of a huge game we need to know what the smart guys think. The smart guys have weighed in […]
by Kent Sterling It’s been almost five years since Indiana University hired Tom Crean to run it’s basketball program, and that is the same amount of time I’ve taken in trying to figure out what it is I don’t care for in Crean. Today, thanks to an on-air intervention by 1070 the Fan host Dan […]

The truth is that kids are developing […]
by Kent Sterling Indiana Basketball beat their neighbor to the south 73-72. You know, the one that keeps kids around for nine months and turns them loose to the NBA.
