Show notes
00:00 – 27:47 – JMV starts today's show by talking about the Pacers win over the Celtics last night, as well as the injury to Tyrese Haliburton. Reports indicate that the injury is just a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, which is not nearly as bad as what was initially feared. He also talks about the officiating in last night’s game. JMV also talks a bit about college hoops, and the games we have coming up for IU, Purdue, and more, as well as about Colts owner Jim Irsay, who is dealing with a severe respiratory illness.
27:48 – 46:02 – Greg Rakestraw, host of the Colts postgame show, joins the program to give his thoughts on the end of the Colts season. Greg and John go over what they think the Colts need to do in the offseason, and how it differs from where they were at this point last year. One of the potential moves the Colts could make is to try and land a splash wide receiver in the offseason; they talk about if the Colts and Chris Ballard would make that move.
