Breaking News



KOMU-TV's Chris Gervino is reporting right now, live at 10:30P.M. CST that the younger brother of AP Player of the Year Tyler Hansbrough, Ben Hansbrough, has announced that he will transfer from Mississippi State University. Ben Hansbrough started 28 games for Miss. St. this year.

Gervino also announced that there were five schools Hansbrough is looking to transfer to: Missouri, Indiana, Purdue, and two others too inconsequential to name. Gervino then pointed out that Missouri has no more scholarships to give, so Psycho-B would have to come to Missouri as a walk-on. Ummm yeah. Right.

Let's hope that he makes the right choice and goes to Indiana. He will give a reeling Hoosiers program a second success in a row, as well as give new Coach Tom Crean something to hang on his cap before he even coaches a game. Although the younger Hansbrough isn't quite the player that his brother was this year, who knows what could happen in time? Plus he will sit out a year, so he can learn the game and study Big 10 opponents, all while physically preparing him for his time as a Hoosier. Instead of Psycho-B his nickname might become "White Marco Killingsworth." Or at least we can hope so.

Its a sad day in Hoosier basketball when we are praying that a guy like this MIGHT be willing to come here. Sorry but what the hell has he done to warrant this being a big deal?

We already lost one... Can we use another one and HOPE he pans out? Who knows.

I just hope IU fans give Crean the time necessary to clean up the Sampson mess, because its going to take more than one recruiting class to build a full roster that can compete again at a high level.

It would also help if players like Ellis and fat ass Thomas weren't such bitches and wanted to transfer so badly. Don't they realize that they are going to get more run than a Kenyan distance champion next year at one of the best hoops schools in the nation??

I think that is the plan swole, since they gave him an 8 year contract with a ridiculous buyout.
