By DOUG GRIFFITHS ISL Assistant Editor And down the stretch they come. For all practical purposes, the race in the Leaders Division is over, as Ohio State will be in next month’s Big Ten Championship Game. The Legends Division is another story. Michigan State looks to be in great shape, but if Nebraska knocks off […]

Despite what the minority may say, both Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo made the right decisions […]
By DOUG GRIFFITHS ISL Assistant Editor WASHINGTON D.C. ” When Indiana and Syracuse do battle tonight at the Verizon Center in the nation’s capital, many Hoosier faithful will fondly recall the last time these two college basketball Goliaths collided in the NCAA Tournament.
