[476] IU-Rutgers Postgame Show: Indiana Gets Knocked Down and Can't Get Up (Again)

On Wednesday night, Indiana dropped its seventh straight game (and second in a row to Rutgers). The Hoosiers got off to a good start, but, as has become this team's unfortunate habit, couldn't get up off the mat after Rutgers delivered a haymaker during the middle 10 minutes of the game.

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 Al Durham was the lone bright spot for Indiana on this night.
— Why, once again, the stats accumulated by Romeo and Juwan don't absolve them from responsibility for being better in the game's most important moments.
— The up and down night for Damezi Anderson, who made a ton of mistakes but also at least showed some fight at the end of the game.
— What was up with Rob Phinisee?
— A general discussion about Archie's coaching, this team's issues, and where exactly to lay the blame.
— And Jerod delivers but a highly questionable take about Archie ... that shows just how on tilt losing seven straight can make an IU fan.

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.
