“I’m excited for this event as I have been for any of the seven,” said event founder and organizer Tony Leach. “This will be the first time Trent Sisley, Jalen Haralson and Braylon Mullins (UConn) will play together. On paper, it’s a ‘dream team’ for Team Indiana.”

The event, which features senior all-star teams from Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, will be played at the 1,500-seat main court at Farmers Bank Fieldhouse. Team Michigan will play Team Illinois at 11 a.m., followed by Team Indiana vs. Team Wisconsin at 12:30 p.m. There will be a senior girls showcase game at 2 p.m. as Indiana will play Illinois, followed by the boys consolation at 3:30 p.m., and the championship at 5 p.m.

All four Mr. Basketball finalists – Mullins, Jeffersonville’s Tre Singleton (Northwestern), Lawrence North’s Azavier Robinson (Butler) and Crispus Attucks’ Dezmon Briscoe (Kent State) – will participate. Other Indiana All-Stars are Cathedral’s Brady Koehler (Notre Dame), Fishers’ Justin Kirby (Miami of Ohio) and Ben Davis’ Mark Zachery IV (Notre Dame football). Other players on the roster are Jett Turner of Tindley (Alabama A&M), Zionsville’s Maguire Mitchell (IU Indy), South Bend St. Joseph’s Chase Konieczny (Florida Gulf Coast), Anderson’s Damien King (Tennessee-Martin) and Crispus Attucks’ Chris Hurt (IU-South Bend).

General admission tickets are $18 in advance and $20 at the door.

Team Wisconsin’s roster includes Iowa State recruit Jamarion Batemon, Alabama recruit Amari Allen and Canisius recruit Javonte Edwards.

“You aren’t going to Iowa State or Alabama if you can’t play,” Leach said. “Team Wisconsin is coming with a good group.”

Record warmth followed by strong storms tonight | March 26, 2026


INDIANAPOLIS (WISH-TV) – Strong thunderstorms likely later this evening with all severe weather threats possible. It is going to be warm and windy with record highs today. Much cooler air works into Indiana for the end of the week.

TODAY: Partly cloudy conditions later this afternoon with warm and breezy conditions. It is going to be a beautiful and summer-like day across parts of Indiana. We will look for high temperatures to climb into the lower eighties which will set a new daily high record. The record for today is 80 set back in 1907. Winds will be gusty out of the southwest near 20 to 30 mph.

TONIGHT: A cold front approaches the state bringing a really good chance of strong to severe thunderstorms. A few thunderstorms may develop out ahead of the main line and some of those thunderstorms could contain some large hail along with a tornado risk as well. We are under a level 3 risk of strong storms out of a level 5. So there is confidence that a lot of these storms could reach severe criteria. Threats would be damaging winds and large hail. The tornado risk is low across parts of Indianapolis but it is not zero. A slightly higher risk of tornadic activity is possible in northern sections of Indiana. 

Heavy rainfall could also lead to some flooding in parts of the state. Areas may see anywhere between 1 to 3 inches of rainfall. 

Best timing on the thunderstorm activity will be anytime after 8:00 p.m. and lasting until Friday morning around 4.

TOMORROW: A few early morning rain showers will be possible on Friday. The main weather story is that it will be much cooler. High temperatures will climb around 49 which is below our normal high of 56. Winds switch direction out of the northeast and it will be a bit breezy at times as well. Low temperatures late Friday night into Saturday morning will drop into the upper twenties.

7 DAY EXTENDED FORECAST: A chilly start early Saturday morning but we will see lots of sunshine for the afternoon. High temperatures will climb around 52 for the afternoon. 

Cloud cover returns on Sunday but it will be dry for the most part. Look for high temperatures to climb into the lower 60s.
