    OT: Dick Barnett Dead at 88

    Played at Gary Roosevelt HS and led team to the ‘55 state championship game, where his team lost to a lanky Junior named Oscar Robertson and Crispus Attucks HS. This was the year after the Milan miracle of ‘54 (the inspiration for Hoosiers) and the first time 2 all-black schools played for an...

    Sounds like MM to NC State. In the Wade system, he should get plenty of shots and put up numbers. His teammates will need to be good at help side defense though. Unless he vastly improves his d and motor, will continue to be a liability in close, end of game situations. In the last week or so...

    This is what Woody did in just accumulating lots of high ranked, high cost talent thinking he could make them into a team. The last 2 years he failed miserably. MM oozes such offensive potential, just never consistently, even within the same game. His form and ability to get shots off is a...

    Tre Singleton leads Jeffersonville back to IHSAA state finals

    If Jeffersonville were to upset Fishers, it would be monumental. Would love to see it happen. Fishers PG is a 5* class of ‘27 recruit, His dad is former Arizona PG, Jason Gardner. Believe he is or was the HC at IUPUI now.

    Jon Rothstein's Top 5 college players in his lifetime - THREE Dookies

    I was at this game in ‘93 at the Rosemont Horizon when Jason Kidd and Jarred Haase as frosh for Cal took out Hurley, Grant Hill, Cherokee Parks and Chris Collins. Somehow we (my wife, her aunt, my dad and I) snagged tickets in the Duke family section…just a few seats down from legendary sports...

    OT: Junior Bridgeman (R.I.P.), second wealthiest former player in NBA history

    Great player and man!! Played on definitely one of the greatest Indiana HS State championship teams ever, the 1971 undefeated East Chicago Washington Senators. He and 2 HS teammates (Tim Stoddard/NC St and Pete Trgovich/UCLA) would go onto play in a combined five NCAA Final 4’s (would have been...

    Big Ten Tournament

    Wednesday and Thursday tickets are usually pretty easy to come by for not a lot of cash. Especially if you wait until they start flooding the secondary market the few days before.

    OT: Woodson out

    Dolson wanted Woody gone after last season’s epic fail, but the money people along with BOT Prez, Quinn Buckner insisted not only in keeping him, but giving him a million Buck raise…and an NIL budget over $5 million. Lots of talent purchased and little to no coaching happened…for the 2nd year in...

    I'm out

    After we moved out of Evanston, then got moved out of the West Lot to the hospital garage, we gave up our parking pass. I parked at the public school at Green Bay/McCormick, parked at St A’s, parked often by Metra tracks. Do these places not exist for parking anymore? We eventually settled in...

    RU vs Indiana 2/6/25

    Woody needed to take notes from the IU women’s coach on how to actually run an effective offense, but was too arrogant to even notice.
