[434] IU-Southern Indiana Postgame Show: Rob Phinisee Impresses in IU Debut

On Thursday night, Indiana defeated Southern Indiana in the Hoosiers’ first and only public exhibition game. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show.

On the mics for this episode: Jerod, Andy, and Ryan.

Note: this episode begins with a few minutes of Jerod talking about this week’s listener support drive. If you’re interested in supporting The Assembly Call, here is the link: https://assemblycall.com/donate.

Among the topics discussed:

— Rob Phinisee’s strong debut performance, starting in place of the injured Devonte Green.
— Romeo Langford’s impressive defense, which helped compensate for his struggles to get in rhythm on offense.
— How much should we read into Damezi Anderson’s hot shooting performance in the second half?
— Why Juwan Morgan’s dominance at the beginning of the second half was the clearest sign of what this team’s current offensive identity is.
— The importance of Zach McRoberts letting it rip from deep.
— Umm, what the hell with free throw shooting? Not this again …
