College Basketball

IU puts the distraction of playing for a cheat behind them in the blessed calm of an actual basketball game and waxes Michigan State 80-61. Bob Kravitz in the Indy Star works the players-rise-above-their-coach angle.

More interesting? Speculating what IU will do if they do indeed fire Sampson by the end of this week (when their third investigation quickly wraps up). Here’s a fun musing from the St. Paul Pioneer Press:

Scott Skiles as head coach

It actually makes some sense, given he was an Indiana high school hoops star before playing his college ball at Michigan State. Rumors are fun.
