Indiana Football Coach Curt Cignetti was presented with Indiana's highest honor, the Sachem Award. Governor Mike Braun presented the award to Coach Cignetti and also presented the Sagamore of the Wabash to the 2025 Hoosier football team.
In nine seasons, Tom Crean took the Indiana Hoosiers to the Sweet Sixteen three times. Speaking as someone who ALSO lives in a state that BLEEDS basketball, I know that that just isn't good enough.
We're going on five years since the end of the Kentucky/Indiana basketball rivalry. Well, I guess the rivalry is still there. It's just that GAME isn't.
After watching Louisville confuse and then throttle Connecticut on the road Monday night, I became even more impressed with Kentucky's 3-point loss at the Yum! Center a couple of weeks ago.
WBKR's #1 college basketball fan here still celebrating the official start of the 2012-2013 season. Yesterday was Opening Day and featured 222 out of 338 Division I teams in action. Two of those teams--the Kentucky Wildcats and the Indiana Hoosiers--opened their campaigns with victories. Both fan bases have reason to be very pleased.
It was the shot heard round the world. No, not THAT shot. The one where the basketball programs of Kentucky and Indiana agreed to never again darken each others doors. Although, that decision HAS created something of a verbal revolutionary war.
