Indiana boys battle past Kentucky, keeps alive All-Stars win streak

 

 

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana's All-Stars, with their two McDonald's All-Americans and seven players rated among the nation's best, barely got out of Louisville with a win Friday night.

And as Kentucky's All-Stars made a surge early in the second half Saturday, Indiana started to worry.

"We can't lose this game at home," Indiana Mr. Basketball Gary Harris recalled saying to future Indiana University teammate Yogi Ferrell.

So the Hoosiers flexed their collective nationally ranked muscle and topped Kentucky 83-73 in front of 5,938 in Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

 

All weekend Kentucky was without three of its All-Stars.

Perry Central's Jaysean Paige didn't show up for practices this week. Moore's Mekale McKay couldn't get out of his commitments to Arkansas, and Fairview's Mike Terry injured his knee and was unable to play.

Early this week, Booher dubbed the group that remained "the mighty 10," but the mighty eventually fell to the Hoosiers.

That didn't change Booher's perception of his team.

It was still mighty, mighty good, he said.

"On paper before this week started we were supposed to get blown out in both games," Booher said. "But these guys ... they didn't listen to all that. The whole state of Kentucky should be proud of these 10 players."

What happened to Terry's knee?

Why try out if you're then not going to show up?

What happened to Terry's knee?

 

He twisted/sprained it during practice this week.

Why try out if you're then not going to show up?

 

 

Agree. Some posters were giving some of the kids last year a hard time, because they declined to try out. Rather have that than take the place of a kid that would have loved to play and then be a no show.

 

 

They used to have alternates, don't why they didn't this year. Believe they need to make sure we have alternates next year.
