The city of Pittsburgh is known for its downtown three river confluence. And two of that city’s native sons have formed a new kind of confluence in Bloomington. Mark Cuban, IU’s wealthiest alumnus, and head football coach Curt Cignetti are around the same age and both from Pittsburgh.  In a report by Richard Johnson for CBS Sports, Cuban says he has bonded with Cignetti over their common upbringing. “He’s a Pittsburgh guy, and that’s what I really like. Maybe if he wasn’t a Pittsburgh guy, I might not have done it. But, you know, we had that connection,’ Cuban told…

North Florida transfer wing Jasai Miles missed practice last week with an illness, and then had to be carried off the court on Friday at IU’s…
