<p>How much time is left for Chris Ballard, Frank Reich, and Carson Wentz to prove they can fulfill Jim irsay's championship ambitions? &nbsp;Different guys, different clocks! &nbsp;Ballard to be more aggressive this offseason. &nbsp;</p> <p>Hoosiers go to Iowa tomorrow with a chance to steal a win they will be glad to have on their resume' Selection Sunday! &nbsp;</p> <p>Lance and the Pacers welcome the Pacers tonight. &nbsp;When will Malcolm Brogdon play again - and will he enjoy it?</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>Solving five real problems for the Colts - AND getting good and angry to solve five more in the way fans would like. &nbsp;Not surprisingly, these two roads never intersect, but one is a little more fun than the other. &nbsp;</p> <p>The Pacers inked Born Ready to another 10 day deal, but don't worry, Lance isn't going anywhere!</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>Who pays for the Colts mediocrity? &nbsp;Either the roster or staff is culpable - who stays and who goes? Is Chris Ballard sticking? Reich? Eberflus? &nbsp;Are there free agents worth keeping? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Pacers lose as Torrey Craig and Lance Stephenson are top two scorers and Justin Holiday can't miss a free throw on purpose! &nbsp;</p> <p>Why would we watch Georgia and Alabama play yet again?</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!" And that wasn't the silliest thing he said! &nbsp;Did you know the Colts allocate more than a quarter of their salary cap toward a center, two guards, and two defensive tackles? &nbsp;That might explain a lack of dynamic offensive weaponry.</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>Trayce Jackson-Davis played like the Big 10 Player of the Year against EJ Liddell, who did not. &nbsp;Trey Galloway had a monster energy night with steals, buckets, and pestering defense. &nbsp;The Hoosiers shot it like nearsighted fourth graders from distance, but it did not matter. &nbsp;</p> <p>Minnesota comes to Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall Sunday at 12p!</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 looks eerily like Indiana in loss at Penn State. &nbsp;Can Mike Woodson change the culture - or is Indiana stuck in mediocrity forever? &nbsp;Seems like Hoosiers are more interested in scoring individually than collectively, and that's a problem. &nbsp;Here comes a stretch with #13 Ohio State, improved Minnesota, and a trip to Iowa. &nbsp;YIKES!</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>
