The Assembly Call IU Basketball Podcast and Postgame Show

On Wednesday night, Indiana turned a halftime tie into another road blowout thanks to the usual suspects: casual turnovers, poor shooting, and slump-shouldered effort once things starting going bad. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show. On the mics: Andy, Coach, and ChatMob Chad Among the topics discussed: — Why De'Ron Davis was one of the lone bright sp...

On Sunday afternoon, Indiana played terrific basketball for 18 and a half minutes, turning a 9-point halftime deficit into a 7-point lead late in the second half. But a series of a miscues and bad decisions down the stretch cost Indiana a huge home victory. After the game, our crew broke it all down, and also reacted to the tragic news about Kobe Bryant, on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show. On t...

On Thursday night, in front of a raucous Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall crowd, Indiana stayed committed to playing through the post on offense while harassing Cassius Winston on defense. It culminated in yet another close victory in which the ball was in Winston's hands at the end but the Hoosiers made the final big play defensively. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU P...

We discuss whether Joey Brunk shooting more needs to be a thing and how IU matches up against Maryland and Michigan State. Plus: whether Rutgers is built to last, if Iowa will have another late-season swoon, and how many Big Ten backcourts he would take over IU's.

On Saturday night, Indiana earned its first road win of the season by dominating down low against Nebraska. The Hoosiers also made some shots, both from 3 and from mid-range, that were a welcome sight after the brickfest at Rutgers. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show. On the mics: Jerod, Andy, and Alex Bozich from Inside the Hall Among the topics discu...

This week on Assembly Call Radio, we discuss the urgency of Saturday's game at Nebraska, and then take another deep dive into trying to figure out why this Indiana basketball program can't shoot. We also look at Archie Miller's history to see if he has a track record of poor shooting teams and poor development of individual shooters. And then we discuss whether IU fans should lower their expectati...

On Wednesday night, Indiana fell behind 12-0 right out of the gate and lost 59-50 on the road at Rutgers. While it was better than Indiana's previous two road performances, that isn't making anyone feel better after watching Indiana brick shot after shot after shot. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show. On the mics: Coach, Ryan, and Andy Among the topics...

On this week's abbreviated edition of Banner Monday, Mike DeCourcy stops by for his weekly chat about IU and the Big Ten. What did he make up Indiana's win over Ohio State?

All that and more (plus a special guest appearance at the very end) on this edition of Banner Monday. S...

On Saturday afternoon, Indiana delivered its best 40-minute defensive effort of the season to beat Ohio State.

On the mics: Jerod and Ryan Among the topics discussed: — The importance of Indiana's upper-classmen -- espe...

On Wednesday night, Indiana faced what felt like a must-win home game against struggling Northwestern and found themselves down 10 in the 2nd half. But the Hoosiers overcame another midgame malaise to storm back for an essential albeit ugly win. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show.

Then Ryan Phillips joins for a jam-packed mailbag that covers Indiana's anemic offense, what's wrong with Rob Phinisee, how Indiana's future recruits project as shooters, how Indi...

On Saturday afternoon, Indiana received another Big Ten road butt kicking, losing to Maryland 75-59. Indiana cut it to 3 at one point in the second half, before Maryland became the latest team to go on a massive second half run that the Hoosiers had no answer for. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show. On the mics: Jerod, Ryan, and Coach Among the topics...

This week on Assembly Call Radio, we deliver our immediate reactions to Indiana's crushing Gator Bowl loss, preview Saturday's game at Maryland, and then dive into a bunch of end-of-decade topics like our all-decade teams, the best wins and losses, and fairly simply answer to this question: "Was this a successful decade of Indiana basketball?" Plus a bunch of after-show talk with Coach about India...

On Sunday evening, Indiana built a double-digit second half lead against visiting Arkansas before getting dominated late and eventually losing by seven. Trayce Jackson-Davis was dominant in the first half but was unable to get enough touches in the second half, so the Hoosiers were unable to counter the Razorbacks' second half 3-point barrage. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Asse...

This week on Assembly Call Radio, we reflect on Indiana's victory over Notre Dame, take stock of where the team sits with one non-conference game left, and then discuss a few individual players whose development over the next couple of months will be key if Indiana is to end its NCAA Tournament drought. And then we open up the mailbag to answer a bunch of listener questions -- including giving our...

On Saturday afternoon, Indiana built a 17-point second half lead on Notre Dame thanks to excellent defense and a commitment to going inside. Then it all evaporated, including the lead.

After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show. On th...

On Friday night, Indiana played some of its worst defense of the season that nearly led to a disastrous home loss to hapless Nebraska. But Trayce Jackson-Davis' fantastic second half, and strong work on the glass and at the line, allowed Indiana to escape with the win. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show. On the mics: Jerod and Andy Among the topics dis...

We also provide some important perspective on Indiana's strong start, look at the dominance of home teams in the very early stages of Big Ten play, and an...

On Tuesday night, Indiana overcame a tough start and poor shooting to grind out a hard-fought victory over UCONN in Madison Square Garden.

After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show. On the mics: Jerod, R...

On Saturday afternoon, Indiana was non-competitive against one of the least imposing teams Wisconsin has fielded in the last two decades. The supposedly defensive-minded Hoosiers allowed the 112th-ranked offense in the country to score north of 1.4 points per possession. And Indiana's offense wasn't much better. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show. On t...

And then we answer questions about the following topics: • Is Devonte best su...

On Tuesday night, Indiana finally faced a good opponent and the Hoosiers rose to the challenge. The Hoosiers led by 11 at the half, then saw Florida State steadily grind the lead down. But Indiana responded with impressive toughness and effort down the stretch, which paired nicely with the scintillating display of Devonte Green's play-making and shot-making skills that put the game away. After the...
