Inside Indiana Sports Breakfast with Kent Sterling

Chris Ballard's future is in question - should Jim Irsay keep Ballard or start fresh with another general manager? There is one piece of evidence that is crucial!

World Cup PKs carry Croatia and Argentina into semifinals!

Media has changed, and Dan Dakich might be better off untethered than on the 107.5 the Fan. I love radio, but it is unnecessary to reach hundreds of thousands every month.

Pacers are fun to watch, and they are back in action tonight at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Indiana battles Arizona in Vegas tomorrow in a battle of eerily similar teams!

Colts with a weekend off, but the march to the playoffs begins Sunday with a Jaguars win! Baker Mayfield showed last night how key a quarterback can be (it doesn't hurt to play the always eager to be penalized Raiders)!

Huge college basketball Saturday in central Indiana with Purdue, Butler, and IU facing road tests!

Sadly, Dan Dakich will not be on The Fan today to break it down for fans, but he will be just fine.

Pacers tonight at home against the Wizards!

Radio got worse in Indianapolis today as Dan Dakich did his last show. He'll be on Outkick (link at bottom) from 9a-11a, but radio is a special medium that needs all the special it can get right now - and Dan created special radio. Whether you love him or not, you reacted to everything he said. That's special.

Hoosiers got a win last night without Xavier Johnson playing focused basketball, but that won't be the case against a top tier team. If he can just compete in his role, IU can be special. He should be thrilled Mike Woodson understands him - and is willing to ride with him at point.

Frank Reich returned to Indy for an event, and says he is not bitter. Maybe he should be - a little professional bitterness can fuel success! Colts still have a small sliver of a chance to get to the postseason - and that is all we need!

IU Basketball made shots, and thrashed Nebraska 81-65. TJD with a triple-double, Trey Galloway and Tamar Bates were lights out, and Xavier Johnson turned it over seven times just to prove IU still has at least one glaring flaw.

Purdue's work to replace Jeff Brohm will have ripples in Bloomington.

Pacers lost last night to wrap up a 2-5 road trip - despite Tyrese Haliburton's excellence!

TJD with the third triple-double in IU Basketball history leads the Hoosiers to an 81-65 win at Simon-Skjodt Assembly hall! Trey Galloway and Tamar Bates combined to hit 9-of-14 threes as IU finished at 44% from beyond the arc.

Jalen Hood-Schifino missed tonight's game, and Xavier Johnson wishes he had. X's seven turnovers showed an indifference to possessing the basketball that will have consequences.

Colts could run the table to go 8-8-1 and earn a spot in the playoffs - or lose out to grab a top five pick! Which would you prefer?

Jeff Brohm is leaving Purdue Football to head home to coach Louisville, which leaves a vacancy in West Lafayette. If the Boilermakers get ambitious with this hire, Indiana could have a serious image problem.

Indiana Basketball must win tonight, and to win they need to dominate the paint because shooting has been a problem.

Andrew Luck became a husband and dad when he stopped being a quarterback, but telling people who then told Adam Schefter was wrong. How can anyone argue with a decision a man makes to be a better husband and dad?

Indiana Basketball MUST win tonight against Nebraska. Coming off the loss at Rutgers and prior to games against Arizona and Kansas away from Assembly Hall, this game is critical!

Pacers wrap their road trip tonight in the Twin Cities. Butler beat Yale with a VERY skinny rotation last night!

LaVall Jordan is very good as a college basketball analyst as we found out last night while watching Marquette!

Chris Ballard is the general manager of the Colts, but the Titans fired today the general manager who is about to complete a threepeat of AFC South championships! What gives?

Colts o-line and defense evaluated to try to help Jeff Saturday take some time off this week! Some good - some, well, OK.

Pacers still right aournd .500 after 25 games - does Kevin Pritchard owe them a chance to make the playoffs with Myles Turner and Buddy Hield?

Kevin Wilson the new head coach at Tulsa!

Chris Ballard needs to pass on Baker Mayfield - hard pass! Jeff Saturday is going to evaluate his roster this week, so we will help him out. Jonathan Taylor has disappointed fans this year, but he is still a top five back. Michael Pittman is not dynamic, but he is steady and reliable.

Indiana Pacers get win at Golden State because Andrew Nembhard was special - and Myles Turner is unnecessary.

Hoosiers face an early MUST-WIN tomorrow night at Assembly Hall against Nebraska!

Saturday and staff will use the bye week to evaluate the roster and prepare for a final four game of the season that he says are "for all the marbles!" Michael Pittman and Braden Smith are only offensive players with a grade of 70+. Bright side of the grade is that a defensive player is graded highest among his positional peers.

Hoosier host Nebraska Wednesday night, and what once looked like a walkover, may not be!

Pacers tonight at Golden State without Haliburton - and only 11-point dogs! Do I smell a bargain?
