What they’re saying

“The team has size, quickness and excellent shooters. They have great attitudes both on- and off the court and I believe they will play a fast pace that Indiana fans will enjoy watching. Three of this year's All-Stars have won state championships in their careers and five others have been state runners-up. Hopefully this will be the year Indiana can win two games over Kentucky.”

— Mike Broughton, Event director

What’s next

The judge in the case will decide on Tuesday whether or not to allow Walker Reed Quinn out on bail.

The takeaway

This year's Indiana All-Star roster is loaded with top-tier talent, including several nationally ranked recruits who have committed to major Division I programs. The team's combination of size, skill, and experience should make them a formidable opponent against their Kentucky counterparts in the annual all-star series.
