Thursday night's incredible IU victory over Iowa inside of a raucous Assembly Hall was so much fun that we decided to hop online for an impromptu postgame show, since the Doing The Work postgame show had to be rescheduled to Friday.So Jerod and Coach do their best to break down the tough, passionate, smart performance Indiana delivered against Caitlin Clark and Iowa -- turning one of the greatest women's basketball players of all-time into the most inefficient version of herself. Every starter -- led by Mackenzie Holmes -- contributed a big performance, and the bench stepped up as well.Honestly, it's just a fun, free-wheeling, happy postgame show. For those of you longtime listeners, it may remind you a bit of the early years for ... a variety of reasons. ;-) But man, it's just a fun conversation about a damn fun basketball game to watch between two damn good teams. And that felt good again. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What a weekend it was.On the one hand, the basketball was terrible. Indiana got drilled on its homecourt by a Penn State team that played smarter, harder, and more together. Indiana was good for 15 minutes, then listless thereafter.On the other hand, for us personally, it was an incredible weekend filled with friends, great food and drinks, and time spent in the best college town on earth. So it may not have been a win for the Hoosiers, but it sure was a win for us!In this episode, you'll hear a few pieces of audio:To start, a quick intro setting up the audio and getting a few housekeeping notes out of the way (including why you won't be seeing Jerod as much over the next month).Then (8:15) you'll hear the live reaction audio Jerod and Ryan recorded in the car while making their way to Upstairs.And finally (30:03), you'll hear the live audio from Upstairs, which includes some additional postgame reaction, audience Q&A, and brief chats with all of the Back Home Network show hosts -- including Galen in rare form that you won't want to miss.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Anthony Leal had the best game of his IU career scoring 13 points off the bench while Kel'el Ware led the team with 23 points.IU took the lead for good at 69-68 on a Gabe Cupps three-pointer in the final two minutes. This was after Iowa's Payton Sandfort gave the Hawkeyes the advantage on a ridiculous fade away jumper in the corner as the shot clock was expiring. The Hoosiers improved to 13-8 overall and 5-5 in the league and take on Penn State Saturday at 12 pm on FS1.

On this very special edition of The Assembly Call, our 1,000th episode, we (mostly) set aside discussion about this year's Indiana basketball team and instead spend time hanging out with several guests who have meant a lot to our show over the years -- including Connor from Homefield, Megan the ChatMob Queen, Chronic Hoosier, and Mike DeCourcy. We do get into a little IU hoops talk with Mike, which you'll enjoy.In addition we answer a bunch of mailbag questions from our community members, and sprinkle some special old audio from when we get started. This includes Coach Tonsoni's first appearance on the show, which you won't want to miss.But the thing you REALLY don't want to miss is the new song by Bob Thompson, who cooked up something special for our 1,000th episode. We play it about 95ish minutes in, but then close the show with it at the very end. If you're crunched for time and only have a few minutes to spare, at least skip to the very end of the show listen to Bob's masterpiece. It's the clear highlight of the episode. (You can even let him know what you think of it on Twitter: @BobThompson82)We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did. Again, there isn't a ton of basketball talk, but there are a lot of stories, a whole lot of laughter, and some sincere thank you's and descriptions of what the experience over these last 12+ years has meant to us and what we've learned. We feel so fortunate to have found each other and come together to host this show, and we've become even more fortunate to have such an incredibly supportive and generous audience and community.Thank you!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

From there, Indiana took control led by Malik Reneau's career high 34 points to win going away.

On Saturday, IU led most of the game but succumbed to a late comeback by top-five Kansas in a 75-71 loss.

In episode #980 of The Assembly Call, we break down Indiana's 77-57 loss to UConn.
