Indiana Basketball – Theo Pinson to Announce Wednesday at 12:15p, and He’s Special
by Kent Sterling Normally, I don’t give a damn where a 17 -ear-old chooses to attend college. It’s the kid’s decision, and whether he decides to head to Indiana, Duke, Kentucky, or SIU-Edwardsville is meaningless. College basketball isn’t the pros, and kids should be able to make this call without fanfare. Once they get to […]
NCAA Basketball – Why Early Commits Are a Good Idea
by Kent Sterling It seems illogical to talk to 14 and 15 year-olds about where they might prefer to go to college. Every week for a 15 year-old, if I remember correctly, feels like it lasts a year, and they change their mind about what classes they want to take next semester every other day. […]

by Kent Sterling With Maurice Creek leaving Bloomington for a program closer to his child, the Hoosiers have a slot available, and coach Tom Crean can do one of four things with that scholarship. Crean can stand pat, pleased with the six returning players and six incoming freshmen. There is the option of pursuing an […]
by Kent Sterling The math is now swinging in the opposite direction as the Indiana Hoosiers will for a time have one more scholarship available than people hoping to claim it, as Indiana announced today that Maurice Creek will forego his last year of eligibility in Bloomington to play closer to his home in Maryland, […]
by Kent Sterling There was nothing like Little 500 weekend when I went to school at Indiana University. The bike race that is the centerpiece of the weekend long series of events to celebrate the end of the school year gives students a chance to blow off a little steam. It was made famous by […]
by Kent Sterling “I’ll take hasty decisions for $500, Alex!” Michael Pointer of the Indianapolis Star has reported that outgoing sophomore guard Remy Abell’s mom met with Tom Crean to ask him to allow her son to return to the team for his junior season. There are few means less effective to effect change than […]
