Talk of LaVall Jordan’s uncertain future at Butler is crazy. Coming off four straight trips to the NCAA Tournament with at least a win in each, this season for Butler has served as a reminder of the thin line between success and failure.

Indiana and Butler Basketball teams need to look in the mirror and answer a very important question

Needing a win in the worst way, Etherington rained down 17 points to lead the Bulldogs to an 88-75 victory. None of the shots made ESPN’s Sportscenter, but Etherington’s […]
