  1. This is really, really true. B1G has fallen off its perch quite drastically this year. Indiana strongly leads a group that should really only be a one-bid conference…

  2. Coached Antonio at Mount Carmel his senior year. Class Act all the way around! It’s great to see him still at it and proving his abilities. Go Tony!
