For too long now the Jerome Hunter story hasn’t been about basketball. For an athlete, an injury involves frustration, lonely hours rehabbing, fear and uncertainty. The Jerome Hunter story over the last year hasn’t been about an injury either. Instead, Hunter has had to navigate an undisclosed medical condition involving his lower legs.

Penix also won the award after his play in week one against Ball State.  The 6-foot-3 left hander has only appeared in one other game this year for Indiana (3-2).  Penix left IU’s week two contest against Eastern Illinois before halftime with an injury and missed the next two games before returning on Saturday against…
