🚨 Emergency Pod: Payton Sparks Commits to Indiana Mar 29, 2023

Show notes

Indiana received its first addition from the transfer portal on Wednesday morning as Ball State transfer Payton Sparks announced his commitment to Indiana. Jerod and Coach Tonsoni break down Sparks' game, what this means for Indiana's overall roster, and what to expect from Sparks in the Big Ten. They also explain how their feelings about Sparks as a Hoosier have evolved since he was first mentioned as a possibility.

Also joining us is Evan Wilson, who plays at Akron, and has seen Sparks up close the last two seasons. He has some excellent insight into what Sparks brings to the table from a skills standpoint and, perhaps more importantly, from a mentality and culture standpoint.

IU-Miami NCAA Tournament Postgame Show Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

On Sunday, IU's season came to an end with an 85-69 loss to Miami. It was a game where the Hoosiers struggled at the start, came alive in the middle, and faded at the end. The season ends at 23-12 and as by far the best one the Hoosiers have had in seven years. The team will lose several key players to graduation including All-American center Trayce Jackson-Davis. It will be a very different roster in 2023-2024 but the first couple of years of the Mike Woodson era has seen strides that included returning Indiana to the NCAA Tournament after a long absence. Where the program goes from here remains to be seen.

IU-Kent State Scouting Report with Akron's Evan Wilson Mar 13, 2023

Show notes

Akron basketball player Evan Wilson joins Jerod to provide a unique take on IU's first round opponent, Kent State. Evan grew up in Noblesville as an IU fan and still follows the Hoosiers closely. His Akron Zips team has played Kent State six times across the last two seasons. So Evan understands the intersections between the two teams as well as anyone.

We discuss his impressions of IU this season, the strengths and weaknesses of Kent State, what IU needs to worry about and where the Hoosiers have an advantage, plus his gut feeling for how the game may play out. We also get his perspective as a mid-major player on the possibility for NCAA Tournament expansion.

This is a fun, engaging conversation that will get you properly calibrated for the challenge Indiana faces on Friday night.
