Charles Phinisee was seated behind the Indiana bench amongst a small portion of IU fans that made up the sellout Mackey Arena crowd.
He wasn’t wearing any red, despite his younger brother playing for the Hoosiers. Charles is a recent graduate of Purdue University, but he wasn’t sporting the colors of the Boilers, either.
“I try to keep it pretty neutral,” he said. “You just gonna catch me in a casual outfit.”
Although he admits this year was the first time he’s ever donned an IU shirt, he couldn’t bring himself to do it a second time on Feb.
