Hoosiers have not beaten Boilermakers since 2016, and have lost nine straight and 12 of last 13. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Indiana Pacers play Frank Vogel's Lakers tonight without Myles Turner - who has a foot issue. &nbsp;What is it with the Pacers and Colts feet?</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>It's not Carson Wentz's fault he's a Colt, so this isn't about blaming him, but he needs to improve or the Colts will be forced to upgrade - AGAIN! &nbsp;If you watched Allen, Burrow, and Mahomes last weekend, you know the Colts need better from the QB position - and then work on receiver and corner. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Myles Turner will likely be out through the trade deadline with a foot issue. &nbsp;What is it with feet in Indy?! &nbsp;</p> <p>Trayce Jackson-Davis said on social media he's good for Purdue Thursday, and he better be. &nbsp;</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>Indiana squandered an opportunity because the Hoosiers couldn't match Iowa's effort or smarts in the second half. &nbsp;That led to 23 turnovers, which is a lot! &nbsp;Mistakes got the IU beat, and they were caused by the team that wanted it more.</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>Reich said in end of season postmortem, "If I’m a Colts fan, I’m fired up!"
