Ep 1183 - Men's Basketball Returns to Familiar Ground Dec 24, 2024

Show notes

IU men's basketball finds itself in an uncomfortably familiar spot at the holiday break - as a team that has failed to rack up any tournament-caliber wins, with an advanced statistical profile that does not appear to be March Madness-caliber. We talk about the underwhelming performance of the team over the last couple of weeks, look at some of the key statistical indicators and analyze what they may mean, and ponder what the Hoosiers have to do to get over the ever-present hump.

Ep 1182 - Indiana's Magical Ride Ends at Notre Dame Dec 22, 2024

Show notes

Indiana's magical 2024 season came to a disappointing close on Friday, as the Hoosiers lost 27-17 on the road to Notre Dame. We discuss the game, with a lot of focus on Indiana's offensive struggles, Notre Dame's athleticism and defensive game plan, and the uncharacteristic lack of execution and efficiency from IU. We also talk about the season as a whole, trying to take in all the factors and items that made the year so special to so many people. And we spend some time taking aim at the toxic narratives that dominate college football discourse right now and where those come from.
