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 Not only does no one know what’s going to happen tomorrow night’s NFL Draft, but in most cases it doesn’t matter a damn. Yet, we search mock drafts to try to figure out who the Rams will take with #16 and #22, and what the Colts will do with #24. We watch […]

Makes sense, doesn’t it? I mean Bird ran the draft for nearly a decade, so the roster is damn near all him. But the hell […]
Cathedral Basketball – Jalen Coleman Talks About What He Needs to Do to Get Better

There are a lot of programs who like Jalen a whole lot – and rightly so – but in order to achieve his dreams, there are areas in his game in need of improvement. I didn’t tell Jalen that […]
by Kent Sterling There was a time not too long ago that fans in what is now Bankers Life Fieldhouse bought all the available tickets, got to the game early, and were engaged throughout even meaningless games. Indianapolis was a Pacers town, and Reggie Miller was the hero of every grade school kid who ever […]
by Kent Sterling The game was never in doubt after the first three defensive possessions by the Indiana Pacers that led to uncontested Atlanta Hawks baskets.
