Then Andy and Coach give their opening statement, we talk a little Comfort Option, thank Kent Sterling, and dive into the keys to victory against Michigan State.• [20:10] In Segment Two, you get to hear another hilarious sound byte of Ryan not understanding how this show works (after 8 years).

No suspense: we all picked Rob Phinisee. What's interesting is that -- without planning to do so -- we each picked different guys for the other two.

On Tuesday night, Indiana took a double-digit lead in the second half, then saw Wisconsin erase it quickly, and ultimately survived through two overtimes -- thanks to a number of timely buckets from Romeo Langford -- to snap a five-game losing streak. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show.On the mics: Jerod, Andy, and RyanAmong the topics discussed:— Why Romeo's final bucket was exactly what we've all been wanting to see from him in clutch situations (and why, at times, that isn't what occurs)— The tremendous lift provided off the bench by Race Thompson— The curious decision by Archie Miller to pull Rob, Romeo, and Juwan all off the court at the same time, which coincided with Wisconsin's second-half run— Questions about some of Indiana's late-game offensive execution ... but also some plaudits for the coaching staff for getting this season turned around post-Minnesota— The understated but stellar night from Rob Phinisee— What are we to make of this performance from Juwan Morgan?And so much more.We also point out a few meaningful moments you may have missed, go inside the numbers, and hand out our game balls.

In this week's edition of Basketball 201, Ben and Jerod reflect on Indiana's two-game losing streak to Iowa and Ohio State.First, they review a couple of clips that show how Ohio State knew exactly what Indiana was going to do defensively and ran specific actions to exploit it.

In this week's edition of Basketball 201, Ben and Jerod reflect on Saturday night's upset victory at Michigan State. The Hoosiers hit 10 out of 20 three-pointers and were able to count on strong post play from De'Ron Davis, but it was the consistent rhythm and continuity of Indiana's offense that made the improved efficiency possible. We highlight several plays that show this, and discuss whether we think the offensive improvement is sustainable.To watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Deo2kd9q6VsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On Wednesday night, Indiana dropped its seventh straight game (and second in a row to Rutgers).
