[456] IU-Butler Postgame Show: Juwan Morgan Takes Over at the Crossroads Classic ... Again Dec 16, 2018

Show notes

On Saturday, Indiana won yet another close game, coming back to beat Butler in the Crossroads Classic on a last-second shot by Big Shot Rob Phinisee. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show.
On the mics for this episode: Jerod and Ryan
Among the topics discussed:
— Marveling at Rob Phinisee making yet another clutch shot, and also assessing the importance of the big play Indiana had out of Archie Miller’s final timeout to go up 68-66.
— Another monster day for Juwan Morgan at the Crossroads Classic, which Indiana needed every ounce of.
— Romeo Langford’s up and down day, and why this is a really important game for him to learn from moving forward.
— Why Devonte Green’s play was probably better than many IU fans will want to give him credit for.
— Did Justin Smith shows more signs of growth today?
— Analyzing the rough days for Al Durham, De’Ron Davis, Evan Fitzner, and, to some extent, Zach McRoberts.
— Why this Indiana team needs to be able to lean on its ability to win close games, not rely on it.
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.

Show notes

This week on Assembly Call Radio, Ryan delivers his long-awaited TJD scouting report, we hand out our quarter-term grades, and we analyze the bracketology impact of the Butler game. And much more.
On the mics: Jerod, Ryan, and Andy … and Randy?
• [00:27] In Segment One, Jerod discusses the impact of Jerome Hunter’s loss in his Banner Moment, and also reminds you of the details of the contest we’re running for Pacers-Hornets tickets. Then Andy analyzes the bracketology impact of the Butler game.
• [15:00] In Segment Two, Ryan takes a deep dive into Trayce Jackson-Davis’ game. It even includes an IU player comp! What are Trayce’s strengths and weaknesses? Is he a one-and-done or two-and-done type player? What impact can he have as a freshman? You’ll have a much clearer idea after listening to this segment.
• [29:30] In Segment Three, we go player-by-player (plus Archie) and hand out our grades after 10 games. And yes, the grades are on a curve — against expectations.
• [45:49] And in our final segment, we answer your questions. Why has Butler been able to sustain its success? What are the redshirt rules in college basketball? Have the lowered the ceiling on this team based on some of the issues we’ve seen over the first 10 games?
All of that and more on this week’s edition of Assembly Call Radio.
