IU-North Alabama Postgame Show: Hoosiers Cruise But Defensive Struggles Continue Nov 13, 2019

Show notes

On Tuesday night, Indiana scored another double-digit victory against an overmatched opponent in a game that was a tale of two halves. The Hoosiers shot well but didn't play well (especially on defense) in the first half, but they executed much better in the second half to turn a 7-point lead into a 26-point victory.
After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show.
On the mics: Jerod, Ryan, and Andy
Among the topics discussed:
— Why Trayce Jackson-Davis' six-point flurry in the second half was the pivotal moment in the game and put Trayce's magnificent potential on full display
— Archie Miller didn't have his team ready to go from the tip, but whatever he said at halftime certainly proved effective.
— Assessing the struggles of Al Durham and Justin Smith
— Another encouraging night from Jerome Hunter
— Why Race Thompson is earning himself more minutes
— Rob Phinisee's understated but pivotal play in leading this IU team through some rough patches.
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-Portland State Postgame Show: Rebounding and Ball Security Compensate for Underwhelming D Nov 09, 2019

Show notes

On Saturday afternoon, Indiana defeated Portland State 85-74 in a game that was closer than it needed to be. The Hoosiers executed on their keys of rebounding and ball security, but the defense took another concerning step back.
After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show (episode #543).
On the mics: Jerod and Coach
Among the topics discussed:
— Why Rob Phinisee's defense against Boo Boo Woods for a 4-minute stretch in the 2nd half was the key to Indiana putting Portland State away for good.
— The encouraging play from Jerome Hunter and Race Thompson off the bench -- including a player comp for one element of Race's game that may make you spit out your drink.
— Al Durham and Justin Smith scored well and had some bright moments offensively, but were two of the key culprits in Indiana's defensive struggles.
— Why didn't De'Ron play more? Should we be concerned?
— The issues with on-ball defense and undisciplined fouling that persisted throughout the game.
— Another strong performance from Trayce Jackson-Davis, who continues to impress.
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.
