Show notes

On this week's edition of Banner Monday, Mike DeCourcy joins us to make sense of the past week as it relates specifically to college basketball and the Big Ten.
Among the topics covered:
• What was it like being in the arena as the news of the cancellation came down?
• Was it wrong for Fred Hoiberg to coach in Nebraska's Big Ten Tournament game?
• Was the NCAA right in not releasing the bracket?
• Should seniors get an extra year of eligibility?
• Rick Pitino is back!
• At what point in the calendar could a lingering shutdown really start to impact next year's college basketball season?
• Will the proposed changes to the transfer rules still happen before next season?
• What lingering stay-or-go decisions will have the biggest impact on the Big Ten next season?
• We test Mike's encyclopedic knowledge of the Big Ten (and of course he passes the test)
• Finally, we end by talking about what this all matters so much ... even if other stuff still matters a lot more.
All of that and more on this week's edition of Banner Monday.

AC Radio: Reactions to the NCAA Tournament Cancellation (Plus Mailbag) Mar 13, 2020

Show notes

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 games, whether Ryan was right about something (Yes, but no one tell him that), our favorite Devonte and De'Ron moments, and several others.
All that and much more on this edition of The Assembly Call.
Stick around for AC After Dark because Coach explains why it means so much to him that everyone calls him "Coach."
On the mics: Jerod, Andy, and Coach

In addition: bracketology talk, IU-Wisconsin preview, and the Mediocre Mailbag featuring questions about what common traits Archie's recruits seem to share, whether the coaching staff should try to fix the hitch in Joey Brunk's shot, and what recent improvements could have the biggest impact on this team winning games in March.

IU-Minnesota Postgame Show: The Brunkyard Dog Returns (and Trayce Shines Bright Again) Mar 05, 2020

Show notes

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.
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 discussed:
— Why the improved play of Joey and Al in the second half, especially on offense, was so important for Indiana.
— Trayce Jackson-Davis' stellar night on a sore foot, and why his hustle was as impressive as his skill.
— What the recent improvements by Rob Phinisee potentially mean for Indiana down the stretch.
— The frustration of Indiana's inability to string together longer stretches of good play.
— The struggles of Indiana's bench.
— What this victory means from a bracketology perspective for Indiana.
We also point out a few meaningful moments you may have missed, go inside the numbers, and hand out our game balls. All of that, and more, on this edition of The Assembly Call.

IU-Illinois Postgame Show: Not Enough Trayce and Too Many Defensive Breakdowns Mar 01, 2020

Show notes

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 the topics discussed:
— The timely, aggressive playmaking of Al Durham.
— Why the officials were a legitimate storyline down the stretch.
— Trayce Jackson-Davis was good ... but not good or prolific enough for Indiana to win on the road.
— What are we to make of these performances from Devonte and Rob?
— The struggles of Indiana's defense to contain Illinois dribblers.
— The importance of Indiana's final two home games down the stretch, and why the real shame of today's game is that Indiana didn't give itself more chances like this on the road.
We also point out a few meaningful moments you may have missed, go inside the numbers, and hand out our game balls. All of that, and more, on this edition of The Assembly Call.
