INDIANAPOLIS — If anyone in Indianapolis is saying they’re bored this week, they’re clearly not sports fans.
“It’s always a really special time of year,” Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White said Friday. “And I think if you’re not from Indiana, you don’t quite sense how special a time of year it is. Pacers in the playoffs, the race coming up and WNBA season tipoff.”
White, a former Indiana Miss Basketball who starred at Purdue, knows the feeling intimately. The NBA’s Indiana Pacers have often overlapped with Memorial Day weekend’s Indianapolis 500 festivities, creating a buzz around town with all eyes on the Midwest city.
