The Vineyard hit 23 degrees overnight! The chill fades fast as highs head for the mid to upper 50s this afternoon under a mix of sun and clouds. The breeze picks up the pace a bit too, gusting 15-25mph. Overall, it’ll be a seasonable early November day. Temps fade back to near 40 tonight, and with the milder start to tomorrow morning, it’ll be a milder weekend overall. Highs near 60 on Saturday and Sunday with partly to mostly cloudy skies.

Another meeting in the intense intrastate college basketball rivalry between the Purdue Boilermakers and Knight’s Indiana Hoosiers.

Five minutes into the game, the contentious Knight drew a technical foul arguing a foul. Moments later, as Purdue’s Steve Reid stepped to the free throw line, Knight turned around, picked up a red plastic chair from the bench and hurled it across the court in an incredible and iconic scene.A young Stevens watched in amazement from several rows up.“My dad always jokes that when I was eight years old and I saw him throwing the chair, he looked over at me and I was cheering him on,” Stevens told the Herald in an e...

He also stresses the importance of pede...
