[391] IU-Ohio State Postgame Show: Reflections on a Thrilling But Devastating Senior Night Defeat

On Friday night, Indiana fell 80-78 to Ohio State on Senior Night as CJ Jackson etched his name forever into the most nightmarish section of IU lore.

The day after the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show ... from the sublime home podcast studio of Galen Clavio (host of Crimson Cast), with special guests Galen, Zach McCrite, and The Coach, Brian Tonsoni.

Among the topics discussed:

-- Why Juwan Morgan's heroics weren't enough ... in part because of his own critical misses at the line.
-- Robert Johnson's quintessential Robert Johnson performance in his final IU home game. (And reflections on his outstanding senior speech.)
-- How Josh Newkirk helped to compensate for another poor performance from Devonte Green.
-- Why Justin Smith took several more steps in his evolution into a budding Indiana star.
-- The strong performance from Zach McRoberts, and how it hints at the kind of player he can be for Indiana as a senior.
-- General reflections on this difficult but endlessly interesting season, some glances forward, and what Archie Miller's Senior Night introduction revealed about why Indiana's seniors were probably so quick to buy into his way of doing things.

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.
