The NBA may be on hiatus, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still watch professional basketball in Indiana. And I’m not talking about the WNBA’s Indiana Fever, either. The Indy Pro-Am is a summer basketball league featuring a variety of NBA players, college players, and a large contingency of former local hoops stars who are currently playing overseas. The games occur every Tuesday and Thursday at the IUPUI basketball gym, known by Jaguars fans as The Jungle, and the cost is free. On-court action begins at 6 pm, and there are four games total each night. The Indy Pro-Am, which is put together by former IUPUI great Carlos Knox, is currently winding down, with the first round of the playoffs just concluding. Among the highlights from the playoff action:
The Red Team (all eight teams go by their color name) featured former Indiana superstars Eric Gordon and DJ White, along with Broad Ripple High School graduate and current Indiana Pacers player, George Hill. Rounding out the squad where current IU stars Victor Oladipo and Christian Watford. Needless to say, the Red Team won handily against a squad that featured Marshall Strickland and Roderick “Hot Rod” Wilmont.
Other notable players that have been seen at the Indy Pro Am over the past few weeks include: former area high school stars Chris Thomas, Justin Gage, and Gordon Hayward, as well as several current Butler Bulldogs like Kyle Marshall and Chrishawn Hopkins. JaJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore, recent graduates of the Purdue Boilermakers, also have participated in the league. There have also been NBA players like Alec Burks, Christian Eyenga, Lance Stephenson, and Zach Randolph have been seen hooping it up in The Jungle as well.
So if you’re jonesing for hoops action, and don’t want to wait for the 2011 NBA Season to get underway, make your way down to the campus of IUPUI and see the best basketball action in the state while you still can.

Umphreys McGee will be returning to the Lawn and White River State Park on June 25, 2011 for what is becoming an annual concert. The band, whom have mid-west ties fill up the lawn each each as fans are eager to jam. BroadRipple411.com suggests that you first check LiveNation.com to buy General Admission seating.

2010 UM Show Review from BroadRippleTickets.com
Umphreys McGee made another visit to Naptown on July 17, 2010. These guys are probably the best kept secret in live music right now but we can get to that later. After a week of heavy storms here in Indy we headed to the show wondering if the fifty cent plastic ponchos we had would be able to ward off our daily monsoon here in town. All you had to do was look North and you could see it heading into town. Well there ended up being fewer raindrops that night than Umphreys Mcgee fans as weather did spit a bit at the crowd but still allowed us to Rock!
The band took the stage and in true UM fashion stirred up the crowd with spacey 1 minute of noodling and then went straight into “Push the Pig” and older UM song that simply rocks, the show continued for about 25 minutes before the music stopped. It was a scenic night on The Lawn at White River State Park as the set began you could see through the stage setup and see the impending storm continuing to roll towards Indy as the show went on. The sun continued to set and the first set did too, Umphreys continued the jam as the lights became a more prevalent part of the stage set. Now lets pause this heart warming story for a second and talk about these lights….. Umphreys brings an light show that seemlessly flows with the band improvisational style. This might be a bit much but it appeared as is if they were traveling with TK3′s, one of the highest grade and most capable stage lights bands tour with. Most acts feel priveleged to have any of these light much less that massive amount that UM brings with them.
So now back to rock…. As the first set progressed so had the threatening thunderstorm’s position outside of town, which at times sent spider webs of lightening from cloud to cloud often times synching up with the band as the crowd cheered with approval. Its seems as if mother nature was simply adding her light show as UM progressed into a ridiculously funky version of The Talking Heads “Girlfriend” and closed the first set.
Now here we are at set break where bands usually linger about do whatever…. Umphreys seeing that the rain is headed our way comes back on stage after one of the shortest set breaks in Jam Band history. The second set started with JaJunk and went all the way through Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Wappy Sprayberry, Miss Tinkle’s Overature, Thuderstruck and then finally paused after heading back to Miss Tinkle as many of us did during this amazing display of improv rock and new invention. Why am seeing this band at The Lawn and not at DEER CREEK? The show carried on and every time you think it might be it a new jam would start giving the jam crazed UM fans everything they want to see.
Here the bottom line from the staff of Broad Ripple Tickets. GO SEE UMPHREYS MCGEE! Do you like Music? Do you like lights? Do you like ROCK? Are you unafraid to have fun and be surrounded by amazingly nice people? If you answered yes to any of these questions and you have not seen UM, then you have only been cheating yourself my friend…..
The 2011 Major League Baseball All Star game is right around the corner, and now is the perfect time to purchase MLB All Star Tickets from BroadRippleTickets.com. Set for Tuesday, July 12 in Phoenix, Arizona at Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, the 2011 All Star game will be the 82nd between the best players in the National League and the best players in the American League. Chase Field holds nearly 50,000 fans, and has a retractable roof, along with amenities such as a pool and a bar area in the outfield. The MLB All Star game appeals to casual fans and families, as well as baseball diehards and insiders, and is considered the crown jewel of All Star games. The starters for the teams are decided by fan voting, while the bench is typically filled by the manager. Each team must be represented at the event, which has led to some controversy in the past.
The managers for the 2011 MLB All Star game will be Ron Washington of the Texas Rangers in the American League, and Bruce Bochy of the San Francisco Giants in the National League. The winning team will earn home-field advantage in the World Series, so the stakes are significantly upped compared to All Star events in other sports. Prior to last season, the American League had won 12 consecutive All Star games, but that changed when the National League escaped with a 3-1 victory last season.
The actual All Star isn’t the only thing that draws a crowd, as there are several other fan favorite events that take place over the couple days leading up to the game. There’s the All-Star FanFest, which is billed as the world’s largest interactive baseball fan event, and will be held at the Phoenix Convention Center July 8-12, and All-Star Sunday, which will feature the 2011 Futures Game, and the Legends & Celebrities Softball game. And of course, the night before the All Star game is the Home Run Derby, without a doubt the most popular Event of the weekend. If you want to attend any of the festivities, be sure to buy 2011 MLB All-Star Game Tickets from BroadRippleTickets.com today!
