<p>Boilermakers may have given St. Peter's way too much respect tonight as they allowed a 15-seed to move on to the Elite Eight for the first time ever. &nbsp;The path to Purdue's first Final Four in 42 years seemed secure, but I guess that's why they play the game. &nbsp;</p> <p>Big 10's tank is now empty. &nbsp;Nine teams in the tournament - noe advance to the Elite Eight.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Chris Ballard is slow-playing the acquisition of wide receivers, and Colts fans should be very pleased. &nbsp;The Chiefs overpaid for the mediocrity of Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Ballard appears ready to wait for the draft. &nbsp;As for tight end - I got your tight end! &nbsp;</p> <p>Indiana has lost three scholarship players this week, which brings them down to the limit of 13. &nbsp;Who will Mike Woodson hire to replace Dane Fife? &nbsp;Two candidates stand out. &nbsp;</p> <p>The NCAA needs to eliminate official reviews before they kill college basketball. &nbsp;</p> <p>Lance Stephenson went off last night, but the Pacers still lost by 30! &nbsp;Best of both worlds!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

Indianapolis Colts - Chris Ballard not done! IU...
<p>Matt Ryan contract allows Colts to move aggressively to add a wide receiver, tackle, yet another defensive lineman - or sign Quenton Nelson and Yannick Ngakoue to extensions. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Indiana Athletics may have filled its basketball staff with too many generals and not enough lieutenants when they brought in Mike Woodson, Dane Fife, and Thad Matta. &nbsp;Clarity is required from leaders, and that needs to extend to Scott Dolson and the university's president. &nbsp;</p> <p>Pacers fans have lost their minds as they ride opposing players - and they aren't clever about it either, which is my biggest gripe.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Chris Ballard won't overpay for a receiver, and that was a good thing today because the Dolphins did exactly that for Tyreek Hill today. &nbsp;Too much money for Hill and too many picks for the Chiefs. &nbsp;</p> <p>(at 7:19) Dane Fife is out as an assistant to Mike Woodson at Indiana University, which is not a surprise! &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Khristian Lander has entered the transfer portal, which is also not a surprise - but will not necessarily serve him well if he leaves.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>
