Drumming up some interest: Boilermaker coach making a name for himself with upsets

Rudy Gay To George Karl: "Welcome To Basketball Hell"
The Sacramento Kings, a failed state of an NBA team run by a clueless owner, will be bad this year, despite internal expectations that they’ll make the playoffs.
