BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Matthew McConaughey look is gone. The mustache and beard have given way to a hint of a 5 o'clock shadow. The flowing locks which once generated best-hair-in-basketball buzz are now clean-cut professional.
Joey Brunk has the look of a man on a Cream 'n Crimson basketball mission. A three-year run at Butler steeled him for this. The fact that he's 6-11 with a battle-in-the paint mentality is a graduate-transfer plus for an Indiana team that will need that and more in its drive to return to NCAA tourney relevance.
