By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor Much has been made of Indiana’s high talent level this season, but after three halves of shaky basketball, it’s time to look at things the other way. The Hoosiers led Minnesota 52-29 at halftime on Saturday before hanging on to win 88-81. Indiana followed that with a 64-59 loss to Wisconsin […]

By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor There were 18,000-plus fans wearing Gold Swagger T-shirts at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. All of them put together probably couldn’t have guarded Dwyane Wade on Thursday night.

By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor Tyler Hansbrough and Lance Stephenson might have dropped the two biggest assists for the Pacers in their second-round series against Miami.

The Indiana Pacers have been relatively injury free all season long, and now, they risk the season ending with their two best players sidelined or at less than full strength.
