Okay, not exactly the same.  Perhaps the reaction could justifiably range from the applause when a guy makes a putt for bogey and someone making an eagle to win the Masters.  Perhaps an audible gasp or moan prior to that courteous clap might even involuntarily slip out given the surprise and disappointment.  Admittedly, it won’t be easy to generate a thunderous roar if Romeo Langford announces “Vanderbilt” or “Kansas” rather than Indiana. But if you can bring yourself to drive to New Albany and boo an 18 year old that wants to share his college decision with his community then…

Indiana is starting to cast a wider net for its 2019 class as the spring live evaluation period rolls on.  After focusing its early 2019 efforts on the front court, the Hoosiers have pivoted lately to the back court.  It continued that trend on Thursday, extending offers to two extremely athletic and talented point/combo guards. KIRA LEWIS Indiana offered its second class of 2019 target from the state of Alabama, Kira Lewis.  The Hazel Green, Alabama 4-star is an EYBL teammate of fellow Alabama native and IU target Trendon Watford.  Given the clear mutual interest between Indiana and Watford, could…

Indiana University head basketball coach Archie Miller has said that it is a program imperative to recruit and secure the top talent in the state of Indiana.  While he had some familiarity with the Hoosier state prior to becoming the IU head coach, he has relied on others, including assistant coach Ed Schilling to make inroads.
