Hey, wasn’t that a fun Indiana basketball game there up until the end? Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to talk about that? Yeah, well, uh, seems we’re not gonna get to do that for a bit.

As Indiana battled Ohio State late in overtime Friday night, two major stories broke in the sport that should send shockwaves through college basketball that will reach Bloomington. First, ESPN reported that Arizona head coach Sean Miller — Archie’s brother and former boss in the desert until 2011 — was picked up on a wiretap offering $100,000 to current star center DeAndre Ayton.
