by Kent Sterling How soon fans forget. Sure this four game losing streak is the first in two years, but how many of you remember the end of the regular season in 2013? It was the last time the Pacers lost five-of-six. Nothing more was wrong then than is wrong today, and they took the […]
by Kent Sterling Sadly, Indiana State will be on the outside looking in once the brackets are announced in six days. Greg Lansing’s Sycamores have had a nice year, but 12-6 in the Missouri Valley is not going to get it done. Click here to follow Kent on Twitter Let’s compare the Sycamores in a few […]
by Kent Sterling The Big Ten Tournament is going to be won by one of the eight teams that will play into the quarterfinals on Thursday. That’s bold talk given that four of the eight will be on a bus or plane home by the time play starts Friday. Click here to follow Kent on […]
by Kent Sterling At some point, people just need to take a fire hose to the dry erase board.

An already slow game was halted for more than 4 1/2 minutes as two plays at first base were challenged – and upheld.

by Kent Sterling Mark Cuban is really smart and really blunt. That makes him a headache for the people and systems about whom he talks, and the reason Major League Baseball approved the shoddy offer of Tom Ricketts rather than his, but that’s a different story. Tonight, ESPNDallas.com posted some comments by Cuban about the lack […]
by Kent Sterling Once the Big Ten expanded beyond 10 teams, the opportunity for a true round robin vanished. Now with 14 teams competing next season, the scheduling gets even murkier. Every team will play all other team at least once, but the home and homes will be reduced to five in order to hit […]
by Kent Sterling After the Pacers lackluster win against the Milwaukee Bucks last night, I wanted to interview the bounty reaped for Danny Granger, so I asked a few questions of Evan Turner for tomorrow’s “Ahead of the Curve” (11a-1p) on 1070 the Fan.
