This week on Assembly Call Radio, we react to yet another surreal day in the world of college basketball and just the world in general. The NCAA Tournament is cancelled. What does it mean? What's next? Should there be a Selection Show and bracket reveal? Should seniors be granted a 5th year of eligibility? And then we hit the mailbag for a range of questions about our favorite past NCAA Tournament...

On Wednesday night, Indiana secured a much-needed home victory over Minnesota, outscoring then Gophers by 7 points in the second half after poor finish to the first half. While Trayce and Rob were solid from start to finish, Joey Brunk and Al Durham were major difference makers in the second half.

On Sunday afternoon, Indiana fell short in Champaign to the Fighting Illini. It was one of the Indiana's best road performances of the season, but it wasn't enough to earn the win thanks to not quite enough Trayce Jackson-Davis and too much unimpeded dribble penetration for Illinois. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show. On the mics: Jerod and Ryan Among...

On Thursday night, Indiana fell yet again to Purdue. The Hoosiers played solid defense for most of the night, but a woefully inept offensive performance from everyone on the roster left Indiana with little chance of stealing a road victory. After the game, our crew broke it all down on this edition of The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show. On the mics: Jerod, Andy, and Coach Among the topics discusse...

On Sunday afternoon, Indiana defeated Penn State to earn its third win in the last four games. The Hoosiers led by as many as 19 points early, then fell behind by six in the second half, before reasserting control and making winning plays down the stretch. It was yet another breakout performance by Race Thompson. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show. On...

On Sunday afternoon, Indiana delivered one the worst defensive performance of the Archie Miller era. The Hoosiers were within five early in the second half before getting blitzed by Michigan in a second half demolition that has become all too familiar for IU fans. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show. On the mics: Jerod (barely), Ryan, and ChatMob Chad A...

On Thursday night, Indiana faced what felt like a must-win game against the high-octane Iowa Hawkeyes, and the Hoosiers responded. Devonte Green lit Iowa up for seven 3-pointers, and Trayce Jackson-Davis showed that he has as much heart and hustle as he does talent and athleticism. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show. On the mics: Jerod, Ryan, and Andy...

What a day Saturday turned out to be. Indiana hosted Purdue in a pivotal Big Ten matchup, and the Hoosiers were outplayed by Purdue en route to a 74-62 loss. The biggest storyline of the game, of course, was what happened at halftime when Bob Knight made his first return to Assembly Hall since being fired. After the game, the Assembly Call crew and some good friends hosted a live show at Switchyar...

On Saturday afternoon, Indiana never really threatened Ohio State en route to a 9-point victory that didn't feel nearly that close. After the game, our crew and a special guest broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show. On the mics: Jerod, Ryan, and Mark Titus (aka @ClubTrillion) Among the topics discussed: — Jerome Hunter being Indiana's lone bright spot. — The continued troubles of...
