Indiana-Syracuse basketball draws just 5K fans. 'Depressing'

Indiana and Syracuse are brand names in men's college basketball — and a rematch of the 1987 national championship game. Both teams entered Monday's game in Indianapolis unbeaten, marking the first power conference game for each school in the early portion of the 2026-27 season. And it was in a nearly empty Gainbridge Fieldhouse. In-depth: Scrutinized Syracuse-Indiana attendance shows college sports misses most valuable point Week 1’s biggest winners, losers: College basketball wasted no time getting wild The home to the Indiana Pacers has a capacity of 17,274. Monday's attendance was listed at 5,047. And that may have even been generous. Indiana has more than 20 high school gyms that could have fit that many fans, with spare change . In 49 states it's just basketball... Crowd at tipoff here at Gainbridge Fieldhouse pic.twitter.com/5yJI3C1I0f — Michael Niziolek (@michaelniziolek) November 9, 2026 There are plenty of reasons for the light crowd: Indiana has missed seven of the past nine NCAA tournaments. Syracuse has missed five straight. So it's not exactly a marquee product. Some will point to the 6:30 p.m. Monday tip time as a deterrent.

Indiana high school football rivals condemn podcast comments ahead of playoff showdown

One of Central Indiana's best high school football rivalries over the last two decades has been the nearly annual showdown between Center Grove (IN) and Warren Central (IN). With the two scheduled to play once again on Friday, Nov. 13, in the regional round, a podcast not affiliated with either school may have added some more fuel to the fire. According to a report from Kyle Neddenriep of the IndyStar, part of the USA TODAY Network, the two schools districts issued a joint statement on Wednesday, expressing “disappointment and frustration” following podcast clips that appeared earlier in the day. While the podcast is not directly tied to Center Grove, statements came from a podcast on YouTube called “Inside Center Grove Football.” The comments took shots at Warren Central football players, stating that the team had multiple 20- and 21-year-olds. In another clip that surfaced, the two hosts also took shots at the reading capabilities of the players. “Today we became aware of disparaging and unacceptable comments that were made about Warren Central High School during a podcast called Inside Center Grove Football,” Center Grove director of communications Wes Anderson said in a statement released by both schools . “Neither this
