Joey Brunk had to 'bet on himself' in decision to leave Butler for IU

Former Southport center has two years left Indianapolis Star

INDIANAPOLIS – Joey Brunk was in Assembly Hall for the Christian Watford shot that beat No. 1-ranked Kentucky. He followed the No. 1 Indiana Hoosiers featuring Cody Zeller and Victor Olapido.

“I’m fairly familiar with IU hoops,” Brunk said.

But that’s not why he decided to exchange Butler blue for crimson and cream. It was, he said, something he felt in his heart and his gut.

“I had to trust myself and bet on myself,” Brunk told IndyStar on Wednesday.
