Indiana had just held Cincinnati to a sixth straight first half drive of five plays or less.  The Hoosiers were up 14-0 in the second quarter and it could have been much more after they came up empty in the red zone twice. That sixth Bearcat drive ended with a hit on the quarterback, and after the play the officials announced there would be a review for a potential fumble rather than an incomplete pass.  Things could only get better for the Hoosiers, who were in complete control four minutes before halftime. But the momentum turned in the blink of…

Class of 2023 forward Kaleb Glenn looks like an NFL tight end but excels on the basketball court. His secret weapon for both his physique and high degree of skill on the hardwood may just be an inanimate object sitting in his bedroom — the alarm clock. According to his high school coach, Glenn’s daily routine begins at a time of day when the virtually everyone else in his hometown of Louisville is sound asleep. “The thing with Kaleb is, he gets in the gym every day at 4:45 in the morning,” Louisville Male head coach Tim Haworth said on…
