I hear you out there, Indiana fans. You’re tired of the losses. You saw Bob Knight at Assembly Hall and all your synapses started firing. Visions of championships, excellence, and toughness started dancing in your brain. Indiana’s basketball season took a hard turn south a couple of weeks ago with 1:27 seconds left against Big 10 […]
Bob Knight comes back to Assembly Hall for a perfect halftime in the middle of a brutal loss #iubb
Bob Knight coming back to Assembly Hall didn’t matter to me – until it happened. To watch a frail Knight walk back onto the court where he built champions tempted me toward sadness until he was magically transformed by the enthusiastic crowd and loving embraces from dozens of his former players into the towering figure long […]
Maybe Bob Knight comes back to Assembly Hall for tomorrow’s game against Purdue. Maybe not. These rumors have popped up many times before. This might have roots in truth as Dick Vitale doesn’t do games in Bloomington much anymore, and he’s been banging the drum for Knight to bury the hatchet and come back for […]
Last night’s Pacers collapse in Toronto was horrifying. Leading 118-108 with under two-and-a-half minutes left, they allowed the Raptors to score the final 11 points to snatch defeat out of the usually reliable arms of victory. That was the third straight loss for the Pacers as they try to adapt to the return of Victor […]

Adjusting to a new campus and environment takes time. Be just a student for a little bit. Get your grades rolling. Make some friends. Work on your game. Nice. Same […]
The NBA Trade Deadline is coming this Thursday, and with just a hair’s difference between the second through sixth place team in the East, GMs could be very active I trying to gain an advantage. Indiana Pacers president Kevin Pritchard is no stranger to rolling the dice on a headline grabbing deal, but this time […]
Indiana lost yesterday, and that’s all fans will remember – the 77-76 loss to Maryland. Moral victories, after all, don’t earn bids to the NCAA Tournament. But the Hoosiers didn’t simply lose at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, they lost while playing better than they had all season. The offense moved the ball inside and then kicked […]
Big 10 Basketball is a crapshoot, so let’s shoot craps to determine where Indiana and Purdue finish!
Indiana earned a fascinating win against Michigan State last night at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall with connected defense when it mattered and a couple of timely baskets by Joey Brunk and Armaan Franklin. The win lifted IU’s Big 10 record to 5-3 and dropped the Spartans into a first place tie with Illinois at 6-2. Wait. What? Indiana […]

The Houston Astros won the 2017 World Series by stealing opposing catchers’ signs to pitchers with electronic surveillance. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred wants to stop cheating, so he took a swing at getting tough. Weak ground ball the other way. The first rule of correcting behavior is to make the cost of the punishment outweigh the […]
