<p>Hoosier Basketball fans fell in love in the first half at Wisconsin and in hate during a second half collapse. &nbsp;Somewhere in the middle lies reason. &nbsp;Blaming Xavier Johnson does no one any good, but trusting Mike Woodson to help him improve between now and March might be an approach that saves our collective sanity. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's not about wins in December, but those in March that are coveted!</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>Jonathan Taylor could not be stopped today as his year becomes more and more historic. &nbsp;Either the Texans offense sucked or the Colts defense was awesome in the first road shutout for Indy since 1992. &nbsp;The game was over early, but only made it more fun to watch.</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>
