• He arrived as a headline member of one of the most celebrated IU recruiting classes of the post-Knight era … but is now the only one left and still hasn’t played in an NCAA Tournament game.
• He burst onto the scene as a freshman point guard with the kind of production that gave IU fans dreams of the next Yogi … but has struggled to recapture that efficiency and consistency since.
• He’s earned a reputation as a clutch shooter with a handful of memorable shots that decided games … but has been a part of three straight backcourts that notoriously couldn’t shoot the ball well enough to space the floor for talented interior scorers.
• His IU teams have struggled to just get their head above water in Big Ten play … but notched three straight wins against top-10 Michigan State teams.

It hasn’t really made a lot of sense.

But what does seem to make sense, at least IU fans hope, is that Rob and the entire IU program will have a chance to be reborn under the direction of a new staff and with a rebuilt roster.

In this wide-ranging conversation with Rob we discuss the many contradictory elements of his time at IU and look forward to what his fourth season may bring. Among the topics we get into:

• How he’s approaching his option to play a fifth year
• That time he scored 50 points in a high school game … and could have scored more
• Why he chose to leave Lafayette for Bloomington
• What Indiana needs to do to finally beat Purdue again
• The ups and downs of the Marquette and Arkansas games freshman year
• The game-winner against Butler and the anointing of “Big Shot Rob”
• Hypotheses for why he’s been able to come through more consistently in clutch situations than regular ones
• The ongoing relationship he developed with the young man who wrote him a letter after the Butler game
• What guarding Cassius Winston was like
• The toughest players he’s had to guard (his final answer on this one will stun you)
• What he learned about the impact of crowds during the COVID season
• What the experience of playing for Archie Miller was like
• The role does he expect to play this season
• What will be different about Indiana’s defensive approach this season
• What he wants to do after his basketball playing career is over

— Why this was one of Indiana's best overall defensive performances of the season.
— What Justin Smith needs to do more consistently to take the next steps as an offensive player.
— How Joey Brunk set the tone for Indiana with this strong first half, which Trayce continued in the second half.

After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show (episode #543).

On the mics: Jerod and Coach

Among the topics discussed:

— Why Rob Phinisee's defense against Boo Boo Woods for a 4-minute stretch in the 2nd half was the key to Indiana putting Portland State away for good.
— The encouraging play from Jerome Hunter and Race Thompson off the bench -- including a player comp for one element of Race's game that may make you spit out your drink.
— Al Durham and Justin Smith scored well and had some bright moments offensively, but were two of the key culprits in Indiana's defensive struggles.
— Why didn't De'Ron play more? Should we be concerned?
— The issues with on-ball defense and undisciplined fouling that persisted throughout the game.
— Another strong performance from Trayce Jackson-Davis, who continues to impress.

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.

(Music provided by Bob Thompson -- die-hard Hoosier fan and longtime Assembly Call listener.)

• Romeo Langford being drafted at the end of the lottery at #14 by the Boston Celtics. How good of a fit is this for Romeo and his development? Jerod also highlights a few reasons to feel good about the Trey Galloway recruitment.

• In Segment Two, we count down Romeo's top 10 moments from his freshmen season. You might not remember just how many big plays and big shots Romeo made in some of Indiana's biggest victories. You'll enjoy reliving them in this segment.

• And then we answer your questions, including one about who we think will take the biggest jump in production next year, another about which Big Ten players we would pluck from other teams if we could, and then one about what level of winning Indiana needs to get to for Archie to be able to pull in top recruits from outside the state of Indiana.

Then you get some bonus content from after the final buzzer ... which features Coach in rare form. (It's a sound drop bonanza.)

— Wait -- did Coach really have high praise for Devonte Green on a night when he shot 4-13 from the field?

— Juwan Morgan's tone-setting stretches early in the first and second halves.
— Romeo Langford's outstanding all-around game ... in what is surely his last regular season home game as well.
— The strong performances off the bench from Devonte Green and De'Ron Davis.

• [20:10] In Segment Two, you get to hear another hilarious sound byte of Ryan not understanding how this show works (after 8 years). Then we answer a question about what Indiana needs to do from here on out to consider this end-of-season stretch a success, and we assess the tournament implications of the various end-of-season scenarios.

What's interesting is that -- without planning to do so -- we each picked different guys for the other two. That's a good sign for the future ... right?

— 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. All of that, and more, on this edition of The Assembly Call.

• [00:28] In Segment One, Jerod delivers his Banner Moment about IU's sterling defense against Purdue, Andy recognizes Juwan Morgan in his opening statement, and Ryan rants about ... something. Then we talk Comfort Option (with new sound drops!) before diving into keys to victory over Iowa.

• [17:46] In Segment Two, we highlight the seven reasons why this IU program has fielded two straight teams that are among the nation's worst in outside shooting.

• [36:53] In Segment Three, we look ahead and discuss some reasons for optimism that the shooting will improve moving forward.

• [46:31] In Segment Four, we answer your questions about the NIT, Race Thompson, and whether Archie's first recruiting class should still be viewed as a foundational class.

And in the bonus time after the outro (52:23), we briefly touch on where IU's talent and experience stacks up against the rest of the Big Ten.

All of that and more -- including new music from our loyal listener Bob Thompson! -- on this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio.

On the mics: Jerod, Ryan, and Chad

Among the topics discussed:

— Why Race Thompson's brief but productive appearance was the one bright spot on an otherwise gloomy afternoon.
— Who is to blame for Romeo only getting six shots?
— Where the game turned in the first half -- and why it was indicative of a recurring Indiana problem.
— Why the 3-point discrepancy tells the story of this game, and not just because one team made shots and the other one didn't.
— Archie's postgame comment that at least offers some hope that something will change moving forward.
— Why Al Durham didn't play well today, but at least showed the kind of fight in the face of adversity that you want to see.

We also point out a few meaningful moments you may have missed, go inside the numbers, and hand out our game balls.

On the mics: Jerod, Andy, and Coach Tonsoni (and then #ChatMobber Megan for the post-show festivities!)

• [00:28] In Segment One, Jerod uses his Banner Moment to highlight De'Ron Davis' remarkable run of assists over the last three games. Then the guys dive into Indiana's keys for beating Minnesota on Saturday.

• [16:49] In Segment Two, the guys discuss Indiana's poor starts to first halves and, since the calendar turned, to second halves as well. What can be done to fix this? We offer our ideas, and Coach shares some insight from his experience dealing with it on his own teams.

• [31:17] In Segment Three, we address the most common question from this week: what, if anything, can be done to address the lackluster atmospheres Indiana has had at home this season? It's a complicated question with a multi-layered solution. We share some of our thoughts.

• [45:51] In Segment Four, we answer your questions: Who is our IU valentine? And why does it seem like Archie is getting outcoached so often during Big Ten play?

And then hang around after the final segment for a special AC After Dark guest appearance by Megan, who recounts her experience with Comfort Option ... which eventually leads to some feisty Coach remarks that will almost assuredly come back to haunt him as sound drops in future episodes.

All of that and more on this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio.

Among the topics discussed:

— The incredible plays by Justin Smith, De'Ron Davis, Romeo Langford, and others that helped seal the victory for IU.
— The impact Devonte Green and De'Ron Davis made in their return to lineup.
— Why Juwan Morgan's impact on the game before he got injured was monumental.
— How Justin Smith and Al Durham took huge steps in their maturation.
— What this win can mean going forward for Indiana, in terms of correcting the issues that plagued Indiana during the losing streak (and in terms of bracketology).
— Why this was a total team effort in which everyone who played contributed to the victory.

— Justin Smith delivers his best offensive performance of the season … with a few mistakes off the dribble that still need to be cleaned up.

• [00:28] In Segment One, Jerod looks to the future in his Banner Moment, Andy and Ryan deliver their opening remarks, we highlight why you should order a mattress from Comfort Option, and then dive into our keys to beating Purdue — including why taking and making 3s will be so important.

• [21:07] In Segment Two, we look at the catch-and-shoot data from Synergy to see which IU players might be best equipped to handle a heavier load of 3-point volume. Then we look at what the data tells us about play types IU players have been successful in, and how those play types might (or might not) fit into the offense moving forward.

• [37:06] In Segment Three, we use a Twitter exchange between the moms of Armaan Franklin and Keion Brooks to highlight an IU basketball-centric reason for fans to act with decency and reasonableness on social media … you know, just in case generally being decent and reasonable isn’t enough (which it clearly isn’t for some people).

• [47:55] And in our final segment, we get to a couple of questions about what it will take to feel good about IU’s performance in West Lafayette on Saturday and which bench player most needs to step up and produce more.

All of that and more on this week’s edition of Assembly Call Radio.

The Hoosiers roared out of the gates against Maryland, but then fell flat in the middle. Romeo Langford's late scoring outburst almost brought Indiana all the way back, but it wasn't enough as the...
After the game, our crew broke it all down on a feisty edition of The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show.

On the mics: Jerod, Andy, and Ryan

Among the topics discussed:

— Why Romeo's improving three-point shot and ever-increasing assertiveness is a great sign for Indiana moving forward.
— Should Romeo and Juwan be even more assertive on offense? And are they even partially responsible for Maryland's big runs because they weren't assertive enough?
— The importance of Rob and De'Ron returning to action, even if they weren't able to give Indiana much tonight.
— Indiana's bench, yet again, was mostly a non-factor, and we desperately try to figure out what the solution might be.

On the mics: Jerod, Andy, and Ryan.

• 00:30 In Segment One, Jerod takes the Wooden Award to task for leaving Juwan off their midseason list, Andy and Ryan provide their opening takes, and then we react to Archie's media availability -- which included some bad injury news but also some interesting comments about Clifton, Justin, Devonte, and Al.

• 19:10 In Segment Two, Ryan kicks things off by rehashing the discussion about concussions in between segments. Then Andy comes in with an update on how Indiana's NCAA Tournament resume is shaping up and should stay that way, assuming Indiana can simply win more than it loses moving forward.

• 31:05 In Segment Three, we answer two important questions. One, does Indiana need a consistent third scoring option to emerge? And two, who is most likely to be the guy who fulfills that role?

• 44:05 And in our final segment, we answer your questions. One is specifically for Ryan ... and his answer will anger you. Then we answer questions about IU's poor transition offense and offer NBA player comps for Romeo and Juwan.

All of that and more on this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio.

On the mics: Jerod, Ryan, and Coach

Among the topics discussed:

— Why there are reasons to be simultaneously encouraged and bewildered by how this game played out — if you’re willing to put the final result within the larger context of this developing season.
— The positives from Juwan Morgan and Romeo Langford, who put Indiana on their backs offensively.
— The negatives from Juwan Morgan and Romeo Langford, whose first half foul trouble and early-game struggles directly led to Michigan’s scorching start.
— Justin Smith’s strong play defensively on Ignas Brazdeikis.
— Another forgettable, and mostly unproductive day, from Indiana’s beleaguered and diminishing bench.
— Some good things to take away from the performances of Devonte Green and Al Durham.
— Why Archie Miller gets strong reviews for his performance … not for having the team ready to play out of the gates, but for pushing a lot of the right buttons after being dealt a 30-13 deficit.
— Plus a rant about why some IU fans are being ridiculous in their comments about how Indiana is handling the concussions of Rob Phinisee and Race Thompson.

• A new Hoosier is wearing the gold practice jersey for the first time.
• Get caught up on the IU social media videos.
• IU's signed recruits continue to have strong senior seasons.
• Indiana's next opponent just "achieved" a dubious feat that no other Big Ten has ever done.
• We get caught up on birthdays, including a current Hoosier, a Sampson role player, a freshman phenom, an all-time legend, and one of the greatest dunkers in school history.

On the mics: Jerod and our special guest host Galen Clavio (@doctorgc) from Crimson Cast.

• [00:27] In Segment One, Jerod the discusses the importance of Indiana finally getting back into the top 25 polls, Galen provides his big picture thoughts on this IU team so far, and then we roll through a number of FAQs (the health of Rob, Zach, Race, and Jerome, plus Keion Brooks' recruitment) before assessing how this IU team stacks up nationally.

• [17:46] In Segment Two, we focus on the Big Ten. Have our expectations for how Indiana fares in the Big Ten standings changed? What do we make of the conference as a whole? What teams have we changed our opinions on? And is Michigan overrated?

• [32:48] In Segment Three, we project how minutes will be doled out moving forward (which leads to a discussion of the importance of Justin Smith and Devonte Green), then we assess Romeo's freshman year and discuss what IU player his freshman season is most like, and finally we discuss the biggest changes this IU team has made from the beginning of the season to know.

• [48:34] And in our final segment, we answer your questions. We got a few about the quadrant system and KenPom, so we hit those quickly.

All of that and more on this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio.

After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show.

On the mics: Jerod and Andy

Among the topics discussed:

— Juwan Morgan's remarkable night, focusing especially on his passing and the key stretch in the first half when Juwan dominated without scoring.
— Al Durham set a career high in points, so we discuss the variety of ways he was able to put the ball in the hoop (and also the glaring issue that still on display tonight).
— Devonte Green's rough start and poor night shooting, but why it's important that he was able to turn things around and play well overall.
— The unselfishness of Romeo Langford (and why that really matters).
— What we took away from the play of Damezi and Jake
— A macro look at where Indiana finds itself after 13 games and with Big Ten play on the horizon.

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.

— The latest on Rob Phinisee's head injury, which was the only real negative on the night ... but it's a big one.

— What's up with the slow starts? And do we have any bright ideas for how to fix it?
— Thoughts on Zach, Al, and Evan
— Was there anything to take away from the minutes Clifton, Damezi, and Jake got once the game was out of hand?

• [00:27] In Segment One, Jerod discusses the impact of Jerome Hunter’s loss in his Banner Moment, and also reminds you of the details of the contest we’re running for Pacers-Hornets tickets. Then Andy analyzes the bracketology impact of the Butler game.

• [15:00] In Segment Two, Ryan takes a deep dive into Trayce Jackson-Davis’ game. It even includes an IU player comp! What are Trayce’s strengths and weaknesses? Is he a one-and-done or two-and-done type player? What impact can he have as a freshman? You’ll have a much clearer idea after listening to this segment.

• [29:30] In Segment Three, we go player-by-player (plus Archie) and hand out our grades after 10 games. And yes, the grades are on a curve — against expectations.

• [45:49] And in our final segment, we answer your questions. Why has Butler been able to sustain its success? What are the redshirt rules in college basketball? Have the lowered the ceiling on this team based on some of the issues we’ve seen over the first 10 games?

All of that and more on this week’s edition of Assembly Call Radio.

On the mics: Jerod, Andy, and Ryan.

• [00:27] In Segment One, we deliver our opening thoughts, provide the details of the content we're running with Comfort Option for Pacers-Hornets tickets, and then take a look around the Big Ten with each team's first two games in then books.

• [15:29] In Segment Two, we analyze Clifton Moore's performance at Penn State and whether it suggests he deserves more playing time moving forward. There were certainly some good plays, but a closer look at the tape also revealed some deficiencies that may explain why Archie has been reluctant to play him more.

• [29:47] In Segment Three, we discuss how you get players like Clifton, Jake, and Damezi time on the court to develop when you're trying to play and win close games against good opponents. And then we discuss how you handle some of your top players -- like Devonte Green and Justin Smith -- struggling with correctible errors like turnovers. How much leeway do you give them to work through their struggles?

• [43:46] And in our final segment, we answer your questions. What is the former Hoosier who is closest player comp for Ryan (as a player)? What is Zach McRoberts' role moving forward? And should you design your offense to prioritize your star player or for everyone to be able to find shots?

Among the topics discussed:

— Why Rob Phinisee’s play late in the second half saved IU’s bacon, and further solidified him as IU’s point guard.
— The tale of two halves for Romeo Langford.
— What to make the surprising (and somewhat encouraging) Clifton Moore sighting in the first half.
— How free throw shooting actually worked out in Indiana’s favor for once.
— The importance of Indiana’s strong defensive effort.
— The ups and downs of Devonte Green, and the continued impressive play from Al Durham.
— Justin Smith’s poor offensive production contrasted with his strong defensive effort.

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.

On the mics: Jerod, Andy, and Ryan.

• [00:27] In Segment One, we deliver our Hoosier Proud Banner Moment, opening thoughts, explain the details of our contest to receive Pacers-Hornets tickets (see below), and then discuss the importance of the tough four-game stretch that awaits the Hoosiers.

• [16:26] In Segment Two, we discuss Justin Smith’s struggles so far this season. Jerod opens with a rant about some of the negative fan commentary about Justin’s play, and then we go in-depth to assess why he has been struggling, what may need to happen for him to turn it around, and why there are still plenty of reasons to be optimistic that he will.

• [33:38] In Segment Three, we talk about expectations. Have our expectations for this team changed based on what we’ve seen through seven games? We also dissect the important difference between explanations and excuses.

• [46:04] And in our final segment, we answer your questions. We predict what Archie’s first marquee win will be (and debate what constitutes a “marquee win”), and then we quickly discuss the last time we saw this team having fun.

WANT A BETTER NIGHT'S SLEEP?

Then it may be time for a new mattress … in which case our friends (and sponsors) at Comfort Option have you covered.

In other words, they don’t sell what they have, they make what you need. And you never have to leave your house.

Even if you’re not in the area, you can still order Alpha by Comfort Option — a designer-quality, durable, transparently-made, and exceptionally comfortable mattress. It ships direct from their factory to your doorstep nationwide.

Use the promo code ASSEMBLY for any mattress purchase and you will receive $50 off your purchase.

So if you want to see Victor and Cody play, all you have to do is order a mattress from Comfort Option between now and Friday, December 14th and use the promo code ASSEMBLY when you check out — either online if you’re ordering the Alpha, or in-person with the rep who brings the mattress store to your door.

— Why Indiana needs to respond to this loss at Durham like the team did the last time this happened.
— The horror of the first eight minutes.
— How concerned, big picture, should we be about the turnovers and overall bad play?
— Why De’Ron Davis was one of the lone bright spots for Indiana.
— The rough nights for Rob Phinisee, Romeo Langford, and Juwan Morgan.
— Much, much more.

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.

While most of Indiana's players struggled through frustrating ups and downs, Juwan Morgan was sensational ... leading to the text that Andy sent Jerod midway through the first half that now serves as this episode's title.

After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show.

On the mics for this episode: Jerod and Coach.

Among the topics discussed:

-- Why Indiana's defense was the driving force behind their dominant finish to the game.
-- The strong play of Juwan Morgan, who showed a terrific inside-outside game and was Indiana's one consistent defender throughout then night.
-- Romeo's continued defensive struggles, and why even his easy 20 points can't overshadow them.
-- How Rob Phinisee battled through a rough start to still deliver a strong performance.
-- The absolute zero (literally) that Indiana got from its bench.
-- Should Juwan Morgan start asserting himself more at the beginning of games?
-- Why turnovers are now officially a concern.
-- The impact Al Durham's emerging 3-point stroke can have on his offensive game ... so long as he doesn't forget what his bread-and-butter is.

And much more.

Among the topics discussed:

-- Why Romeo Langford was the runaway winner of the game ball (despite his inconsistent ball-handling and defense)
-- Juwan Morgan's impact in the second half.
-- Why Rob Phinisee showed us what he's made of in the final few minutes of this game.
-- The poor performances from Al Durham, Evan Fitzner, Justin Smith, and Damezi Anderson
-- De'Ron Davis' strong play and what it means going forward.
-- Why despite the disappointment of this loss, there is still probably more to be encouraged about than discourage about ... especially given the context of all the guys IU is missing.

-- Juwan Morgan's impact in the second half.
-- Why Rob Phinisee showed us what he's made of in the final few minutes of this game.
-- The poor performances from Al Durham, Evan Fitzner, Justin Smith, and Damezi Anderson
-- De'Ron Davis' strong play and what it means going forward.
-- Why despite the disappointment of this loss, there is still probably more to be encouraged about than discourage about ... especially given the context of all the guys IU is missing.

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.

— Why Juwan Morgan’s impact goes so far beyond his solid stat line.

THIS WEEK'S RUNDOWN

In Segment One [2:00], Jerod opens with his Banner Moment about Jerome Hunter’s recent acquisition of the gold practice jersey, and then he and Ryan dive into this week’s mailbag.

Among the topics they cover:

• Why you shouldn’t be concerned about Romeo’s shot selection in the exhibition game.
• What are Archie’s weaknesses as a coach?
• What is worth paying the most attention to in Indiana’s season opener against Chicago State?
• How long will it take for Indiana to find its offensive identity?
• Which player improved their stock the most in the exhibition game?

In Segment Two [26:10], Mike DeCourcy joins us for this weekly Big Ten Roundup segment.

He answers these six burning Big Ten questions:

• Besides Romeo Langford, which freshmen will have the biggest roles and be counted on the most by their teams?
• What do you think Archie could most improve upon has as a head coach?
• What team in the Big Ten has the most game ready depth?
• What are the five strongest defensive teams in the league?
• Last year essentially everyone over-projected Minnesota and Northwestern. Both underwhelmed for different reasons. Who are national analysts making that same mistake on in the BIG this year?
• What team in the Big Ten that doesn’t have a true star player could most benefit from having one?

Follow Mike on Twitter: @tsnmike.

In Segment Three [49:39], Ben Ladner joins us for our the latest edition of Basketball 201, in which we want to provide insight and education and some of the concepts and strategies that will be major talking points during and after IU games this season.

This week we talk about the packline defense — its basic principles, its goals, its vulnerabilities, and why it’s a much better defense at the college level than the NBA.

Here is the video of the segment, which includes the helpful visuals: https://youtu.be/vkNaS6Hxbzs?t=3122

And in Segment Four [1:16:00], we preview Indiana’s upcoming opponent for this week.

Josh Wilson, host of the new Inside Out podcast joins us to provide some insight on a Chicago State team that is undoubtedly one of the nation’s worst.

All of that and more on this week’s edition of Banner Monday.

RUNDOWN

In Segment One [2:10], Jerod opens with his Banner Moment about Indiana’s alleged strong play in its Sunday exhibition against Loyola Chicago, and then he and Ryan dive into this week’s mailbag.

Among the topics they cover:

• Three signs they are looking for early in the season to show IU is on the right track.
• What they would name the inevitable movie about the recent FBI college basketball corruption trial.
• How Indiana matches up against Marquette and Arkansas.
• What role we envision Race Thompson having this season.
• Whether we’ll see lineups with Rob and Devonte on the court at the same time.
• Can coaching impact free throw shooting?

In Segment Two [24:57], Mike DeCourcy joins us for this weekly Big Ten Roundup segment.

This week, Mike provides his thoughts on closed scrimmages, and then gives us his best case and worst case for each Big Ten team.

RUNDOWN

In Segment One [2:10], Jerod opens with his Banner Moment about Indiana’s alleged strong play in its Sunday exhibition against Loyola Chicago, and then he and Ryan dive into this week’s mailbag.

Among the topics they cover:

• Three signs they are looking for early in the season to show IU is on the right track.
• What they would name the inevitable movie about the recent FBI college basketball corruption trial.
• How Indiana matches up against Marquette and Arkansas.
• What role we envision Race Thompson having this season.
• Whether we’ll see lineups with Rob and Devonte on the court at the same time.
• Can coaching impact free throw shooting?

THIS WEEK'S RUNDOWN

In Segment One [2:18] ...

Jerod opens with his Banner Moment about what Indiana’s preseason rankings mean, and then he and Ryan dive into answering a handful of listener questions, including:

• Has anything over the last month or so increased or decreased our confidence in this team?
• Who will give Indiana its first loss of the season?
• Who is Jerod’s favorite Hoosier since Calbert? (He and Ryan have the same answer.)
• What IU player has the national media not been talking about enough this offseason?
• Will Phinisee, Hunter, and Forrester all find consistent spots in the rotation?
• Might Archie alter his philosophy about sitting a guy with two first half fouls this season now that he has more depth?

In Segment Two [27:34] ...

Mike DeCourcy joins the show for his first weekly Big Ten Roundup segment.

He and Jerod cover the following:

• What did Mike glean about Indiana from Big Ten Media Day?
• When he attends an IU practice, what will he be most interested in seeing?
• His preseason Big Ten Power Rankings Top 4 — does Indiana make the cut?
• What team out of these three is most likely to surprise: Penn State, Minnesota, or Iowa?
• What did he learn about other Big Ten teams from Big Ten Media Day?
• What player in the conference is flying under the radar that people need to be more aware of?
• Jon Beilein’s comments about cheating at Big Ten Media and Mike’s general thoughts on the FBI trial and what, if anything, then NCAA might be able to do about what has been revealed.

Follow Mike on Twitter: @tsnmike.

And in Segment Three [50:31] ...

Ben Ladner joins us for our first edition of Basketball 201, in which we want to provide insight and education and some of the concepts and strategies that will be major talking points during and after IU games this season.

In this first installment, we discuss pick-and-roll defense. Ben explains why ball screens have become so much more prevalent in recent seasons, and then we dive into two common strategies for defending them — hedging and switching.

Indiana did a lot of hedging last season, and Archie Miller has discussed trying to switch more this season. What are the pros and cons of each approach?

This week’s rundown
In Segment One [2:20], Jerod discusses the importance of Romeo and Juwan both being listed among the top 50 players in the nation in CBS Sports’ Top 101 players in college basketball, Andy and Ryan provide their opening remarks, and then we discuss the NBA’s new initiative to offer elite high school seniors a path to professional basketball through the G-League.

In Segment Two [17:00], we take Coach K and Roy Williams to task for outright lying to college basketball fans everywhere in their comments this week about the FBI case. And yes, Ryan goes another Coach K rant.

In Segment Three [26:14], we use a listener email as a jumping off point for a new segment that Jerod and Andy are calling “Ryan’s Being Stupid Again,” but that Ryan refuses to recognize. Regardless, the listener takes Ryan to task for his assertion that Indiana might actually be better next year than this year. Ryan makes some compelling arguments, but Jerod and Andy aren’t totally buying it, so they debate.

In Segment Four [41:14], we answer your questions — and we roll through a lot of them.

• What would surprise us most if does/doesn’t happen this season?
• How many wins will it take to win the Big Ten this season?
• How does this year’s team compare to the 2007-08 team when you start going player-by-player down the roster?
• When will Trayce Jackson-Davis announce his decision?

This week’s rundown
In Segment One [2:20], Jerod discusses the importance of Romeo and Juwan both being listed among the top 50 players in the nation in CBS Sports’ Top 101 players in college basketball, Andy and Ryan provide their opening remarks, and then we discuss the NBA’s new initiative to offer elite high school seniors a path to professional basketball through the G-League.

In Segment Two [17:00], we take Coach K and Roy Williams to task for outright lying to college basketball fans everywhere in their comments this week about the FBI case. And yes, Ryan goes another Coach K rant.

In Segment Three [26:14], we use a listener email as a jumping off point for a new segment that Jerod and Andy are calling “Ryan’s Being Stupid Again,” but that Ryan refuses to recognize. Regardless, the listener takes Ryan to task for his assertion that Indiana might actually be better next year than this year. Ryan makes some compelling arguments, but Jerod and Andy aren’t totally buying it, so they debate.

In Segment Four [41:14], we answer your questions — and we roll through a lot of them.

• What would surprise us most if does/doesn’t happen this season?
• How many wins will it take to win the Big Ten this season?
• How does this year’s team compare to the 2007-08 team when you start going player-by-player down the roster?
• When will Trayce Jackson-Davis announce his decision?
• What is something we are really looking forward to about the upcoming season that we haven’t talked about much yet this offseason?

This week’s rundown

In Segment One [2:20], Jerod describes why Juwan winning the first Gold Jersey was so important, Andy discusses whether he’ll be joining Joe Lunardi on his “Bracketology Cruise,” Ryan gives the football team some love for flipping a 4-star Ohio State commit, and then we discuss the Big Ten’s official preseason All-Conference team … which includes way too many guys.

In Segment Two [15:10], we dissect the most interesting comments from Big Ten Media Day — including the growing practice competition between Devonte Green and Rob Phinisee, Archie’s positive comments about Justin Smith, how Romeo is responding to Juwan’s dominant practice play, and why it continues to look like Zach McRoberts is entrenched as a major player for this team.

In Segment Three [26:17], we each provide our projected top 4 teams in the Big Ten, pick our surprise team, choose an All-Conference team, and then discuss whether this is an up or down year for the Big Ten.

In Segment Four [43:26], we answer your questions.

• Why was Indiana’s in-state recruiting so down prior to Archie’s arrival?
• If we had to pick one … would we rather see the team spring some upsets but lose some head-scratchers, or take care of business but not beat any of the top teams on the schedule?
• If we had to pick one … would we rather see the team win a Big Ten title but lose early in the tournament, or have a so-so regular season but then make a deep tournament run?
• If the point guards struggle, could we see extended time for Romeo at the point this season?

On the mics this week: Jerod Morris, Ryan Phillips, and Brian Tonsoni

Listen to the edited podcast here (rundown with time stamps below):

This week’s rundown

In Segment One [02:18], Jerod discusses some intriguing comments by Don Fischer in his Banner Moment, Coach and Ryan provide their opening thoughts, and then we discuss the many benefits of participating in a secret scrimmage over a public exhibition game. The athletic department loses the money from the gate receipts, but does the team gain more from the experience?

In Segment Two [15:52], we discuss the importance of having captains, in the wake of Juwan and Zach being named captains for this season. Why was it important to announce it publicly? What message does it send in the locker room and to recruits?

In Segment Three [26:10], we go buy or sell on some of the most common narratives being bandied about since Media Day and Hoosier Hysteria. Is Devonte Green ready to be consistent? Is Al Durham the most improved player on the team? Will Evan Fitzner start? Will Race Thompson and Jake Forrester be rotation players?

In Segment Four [44:00], we answer your questions.
• How important is Rob Phinisee’s development?

On the mics this week: Jerod Morris, Ryan Phillips, and Brian Tonsoni

Listen to the edited podcast here (rundown with time stamps below):

This week’s rundown

In Segment One [02:18], Jerod discusses some intriguing comments by Don Fischer in his Banner Moment, Coach and Ryan provide their opening thoughts, and then we discuss the many benefits of participating in a secret scrimmage over a public exhibition game. The athletic department loses the money from the gate receipts, but does the team gain more from the experience?

In Segment Two [15:52], we discuss the importance of having captains, in the wake of Juwan and Zach being named captains for this season. Why was it important to announce it publicly? What message does it send in the locker room and to recruits?

In Segment Three [26:10], we go buy or sell on some of the most common narratives being bandied about since Media Day and Hoosier Hysteria. Is Devonte Green ready to be consistent? Is Al Durham the most improved player on the team? Will Evan Fitzner start? Will Race Thompson and Jake Forrester be rotation players?

In Segment Four [44:00], we answer your questions.
• How important is Rob Phinisee’s development?
• Will the free throw shooting improve this season?
• What 3-5 guys will be left out of the rotation?
• Could Keion Brooks, Justin Smith, and Jerome Hunter all play together?

All of that and more on this week’s edition of Assembly Call Radio.

On the mics this week: Jerod, Andy, and Coach Tonsoni

In Segment One [2:17], Jerod delivers his Banner Moment, and then Andy and Coach gang up pretty viciously on Ryan for sleeping through the first half of last week’s show. Then the guys run through a few Hoosier Hysteria headlines and discuss whether the early start time will be good or bad for attendance.

In Segment Two [14:27], the guys dissect Juwan Morgan’s comments on Andy Katz’s podcast — including his praise for Romeo Langford, his belief in what Evan Fitzner can bring to the team, and the surprising biggest thing he learned from the NBA Draft exploration process.

In Segment Three [26:21], the guys break down three high-leverage team stats that Indiana needs to improve upon to be better this season. Fortunately, there are reasons to believe improvement can happen for all three stats. They discuss 3-point shooting, defensive rebound, and assist-turnover ratio from the guards.

In Segment Four [44:26], two listener questions dominate discussion: 1) which coach from the “golden triangle” will have the most success over the next few years; and 2) which former IU player is the best player comp for Ryan. (He’ll HATE this discussion.)

All of that and more on this week’s edition of Assembly Call Radio.

On the mics this week: Jerod, Andy, and ... eventually ... Ryan.

In Segment One [2:16], Jerod and Andy deliver their opening thoughts, explain why you should bookmark iutickets.shop, and then discuss their biggest reactions to Archie Miller's podcast appearance. (Listen to it here: https://soundcloud.com/compass-media/college-hoops-today-with-jon-rothstein-indianas-archie-miller-1)

In Segment Two [14:00], Jerod and Andy dissect Archie's individual comments about Evan Fitzner, Justin Smith, and Devonte Green. Then they discuss the timetable Archie laid out for De'Ron's return, before talking about fair expectations for him in the upcoming season.

In Segment Three [26:06], Ryan appears! The conversation on De'Ron continues. What do the numbers say about his improvement last year and his biggest strengths and weaknesses? How difficult might it be for the coaching staff to work him into the lineup if he isn't ready to play until mid-season? And more.

In Segment Four [40:59], we answer your questions:

• What about Race Thompson?
• What are our favorite memories of Brian Evans?
• What will Archie's biggest challenge be this season?
• Why is recruiting in-state players so important? (Ryan makes an especially good point about this.)

All of that and more on this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio.

On the mics this week: Jerod, Andy, and Ryan.

In Segment One [2:20], Jerod opens up discussing the importance of the special guest speaker the team hosted on Wednesday. Then Andy and Ryan give their opening thoughts on Franklin’s commitment, which leads into Ryan’s detailed scouting report of Franklin’s game.

In Segment Two [17:40], the guys discuss the many different reasons why this is such an important recruit to get for Indiana, and explain why seeing a triple-digit ranking number next to Franklin’s name and wondering if he’s a recruit worth being excited over is a misguided notion.

In Segment Three [26:04], it’s Ryan’s favorite segment: player comps! We provide a few recent Hoosiers with whom Armaan shares some traits. Then we look ahead to the rest of the class of 2019 and what is important to watch for moving forward.

In Segment Four [40:44], we highlight a few important notes from the date/time/TV schedule release, and then answer a few listener questions.

On the mics this week: Jerod, Andy, and Coach Tonsoni.

In Segment One (0:28), Jerod talks about the importance of student excitement to Archie Miller's rebuild, and then the guys dive into a discussion about the schedule -- with Andy and Coach using their knowledge of bracketology to assess how the non-conference schedule sets up for Indiana's potential seeding in March.

In Segment Two (17:15), the guys use an ESPN article as a jumping off point for a discussion about the Big Ten pecking order, where Indiana falls in it, and what lightly regarded Big Ten team could surprise people this season.

In Segment Three (24:27), a list of the top 100 players in college basketball from the website 3-Man Weave is discussed. Where do Juwan and Romeo rank? Is it too high or too low? This leads into a conversation about which player will be more important to Indiana's success this season.

And in Segment Four (39:10), we answer your questions:

• So what was up with that picture of Romeo wearing a cast?
• How much should Archie prioritize fringe top-10 in-state players if he has a chance to go after higher-ranked players from out of state?
• Should Indiana go on another overseas trip soon?
• Will Justin Smith get enough playing time this year to keep rising on NBA draft boards?

In Segment One (2:20), we discuss the latest recruiting developments -- including a few new players who are planning to visit campus. We also address the emerging topic among some IU fans that Archie Miller may have overplayed his hand with the 2019 recruiting class. We don't agree.

In Segment Two (19:00), we dissect the big college basketball news of the week: the NCAA rule changes that were announced on Wednesday. Why will the reality of implementation not match the headlines? What storyline is being overlooked? And what does Coach think about the impact the new rules will have on college, high school, and summer coaches?

In Segment Three (37:02), we talk Clifton Moore. We can't do our usual offseason player deep dive, because we just don't have that much to go on with Clifton. What are fair expectations for his sophomore year? And could Evan Fitzner end up being a good mentor for him as a player?

Then in Segment Four (49:00), we take your questions.

• Is Robert Phinisee being overlooked?
• Which of IU's players pass the "rec center eye test" the best, simply based on their size and physique?

On the mics this week: Jerod, Andy, and Coach Tonsoni.

In Segment One (00:27), Jerod discusses the big picture meaning of the IU Excellence Academy in his Banner Moment, followed by Andy and Coach give their opening thoughts. Then the guys discuss recruiting, including the new offers going out to 2020 and 2021 prospects, and what they mean for Indiana's potential pursuit of in-state prospects Anthony Leal and Trey Galloway.

In Segment Two (16:03), the guys dive into their discussion of Evan Fitzner. They dissect his strengths and weaknesses based on his advanced efficiency stats and possession-by-possession analysis from Synergy. They also talk about his role at Saint Mary's and why it may have changed after his freshman year.

In Segment Three (27:58), the conversation on Fitzner turns to how he fits with the players on IU's roster. What roster constructions will work best to accentuate his strengths and compensate for his weaknesses? Why are he and Al Durham a particularly strong fit in the same lineups? Jerod ends the segment by reminding us how good Max Bielfeldt's numbers were in 2016, and why it is probably be unfair to expect the same kind of impact from Fitzner.

Then in Segment Four (44:23), we only get to one question ... because it gets Coach going on an epic rant. Ben Malcomson from Hoosiers-United asks us what we would change about Hoosier Hysteria to encourage more fan engagement. Oh -- we have some ideas. :-)

On the mics this week: Jerod, Ryan, and Coach Brian Tonsoni.

In Segment One (2:07), Jerod discusses why Juwan Morgan winning the offseason championship belt is so important in this week’s Hoosier Proud Banner Moment. Then we discuss the incredible max vertical numbers many IU players turned in at the end-of-summer testing session.

In Segment Two (17:09), Coach walks us through the characteristics of a good coaching staff, based on the article he wrote for Hoosiers United this week. We also highlight the unique strengths each member of Archie Miller’s staff brings to the table.

In Segment Three (31:58), we zero in on Archie and address the three biggest challenges he’ll face in his second season at IU — all of which are unique challenges that he hasn’t faced as a head coach before. What gives us confidence that he’ll be able to overcome these challenges?

Then in Segment Four (42:55), we take your questions.

• Valerie wants to know why the vlogs and other social media posts are so important
• Geoff asks about redshirting in college hoops, and which players on this year’s roster might benefit from one this year

In Segment 1, Jerod analyzes the potential importance of (or reads WAY too much into) what we saw from Romeo Langford in Wednesday's practice video posted by the IU men's basketball Twitter account. Andy and Ryan then give their opening statements, and the guys close with a discussion of this year's Hoosier Hysteria -- and what to watch for as the date approaches.

In Segment 2 (14:31), it's time to talk recruiting.

DJ Carton made his announcement last week.

• What does it say about Chris Holtmann's early momentum at Ohio State?
• And what does it mean for IU's guard priorities in the Class of 2019?

Also, is it time to worry at all about Indiana's supposed "clear leader" status with Trayce Jackson-Davis? Probably not ... but some comments he made this week about North Carolina are worth considering.

In Segment 3 (30:37), we take a tour of Hoosiers in the NBA and update their status.

• What does the Kawhi trade mean for OG in Toronto?
• Is Dallas still a good fit for Yogi?
• Will Troy end up anywhere after being cut by the Knicks?
• How much better can Victor Oladipo get?

And in Segment 4 (44:35), we answer your questions. We had time for two this week:

• What two home games would we most want to see on this year's schedule?
• Hypothetically, if Romeo stayed four years, could he break Calbert Cheaney's scoring record? (You'll be SHOCKED at how Jerod and Andy answer this one ... )

The show kicks off in Segment 1 (2:08) with commentary on Indiana's remarkable resiliency and longevity as a program, plus how Archie Miller and his staff appear to be trying to make the 2019 recruiting class an "instant impact" group after focusing on getting a more foundational class for 2018.

In the back half of Segment 1, we cover recruiting, including the importance of Peach Jam and what we're reading and hearing about DJ Carton's impending decision.

Next, in Segment 2 (19:31), we venture over to Bart Torvik's website (http://barttorvik.com/) to check out his player projections for the upcoming season. We go down the list and choose Over or Under Bart's projected minutes, points, and rebounds for a handful of IU players. Then we talk about who will be vocal leader on this year's team. One name is obvious, another may note be.

In Segment 3 (35:26) we dip into IU's storied history and come up with five names who we think are underrated and under-appreciated from the last 25 years in IU basketball. Then we give our choices for moments we'd like to go back in time to attend, as well as our most emotional IU basketball moments.

Al burst onto the scene early in his freshman season, displaying a refreshing care for the basketball for a program that had been struggling with turnovers. He also shot it well from deep, proved adept at drawing contact, and played solid defense. But as the competition ratcheted up, Al's minutes and overall impact declined.

So, what is in store for Al as a sophomore?

Minutes seem there to be had with only four true ball-handlers on the roster. Can Al equal or exceed the minutes he played as a freshman? In Segments 2 and 3, we discuss what Al needs to improve on to be a key piece of Indiana's improved rotation, as well as what the numbers say were his biggest strengths and weaknesses.

Then Jerod reveals his outside-the-box comparison for Al, which is met with ... well ... just listen.

In Segment 1, we discuss the big schedule news that came out this week -- including why the UC Davis game may be just as important as the Arkansas game, and how the non-conference schedule is shaping up overall. (In a word: nicely!)

And in our opening statements we touch on:

• A few more small but positive signs that Indiana is in good position with Trayce Jackson-Davis and Keion Brooks
• Why Evan Fitzner's arrival made a splash on social media
• What it means for Thomas Bryant that he's no longer a Laker and has become a Wizard

Finally, in the Segment 4 Q&A, we riff on the following questions:

• Could an all-IU NBA team compete for a playoff spot in the NBA's Eastern Conference?
• What 1-2 Big Ten players would we add to create a "super team" at IU?
• Who would win a Hoosier Hysteria scrimmage: the new guys or the veterans?
• Does Indiana have what it takes to make an Elite 8 or even Final 4 run?
• Should players stay in school or leave early if the G League is their likely destination?

Each of the last two seasons, Zach has played a larger role than anyone imagined entering the season. With Indiana's influx of young talent, will he maintain his prominent spot in Indiana's rotation this year?

We trace Zach's unique career, discuss what made him such an unexpected key figure for two different IU coaches who value different things in players, and then dive deep in analyzing his strengths and weaknesses to assess where he has the most room for growth as a senior.

Prior to that conversation, we deliver the results of last week's fun IU draft. "Trash Talk" Tonsoni fared pretty in the fan vote, as he predicted. Andy, fresh off vacation, took on the challenge of coming up with a team of the "leftovers" from last week's discussion. Find out who he picked.

We also answer these questions:

• If we could add one player to IU's roster for this season from the roster of a Big Ten rival who is not expected to be on Inside the Hall's upcoming Top 25 Players in the Big Ten list, who would it be?
• How much "Crean" will we still see in this year's team?

First, we discuss which players on the current roster will someday play in the NBA. Romeo is a lock, Juwan seems probable, but who else? We break down the NBA chances of guys like Justin Smith, Jerome Hunter, Jake Forrester, Damezi Anderson, and more (including Clifton Moore).

Then, we have a little offseason fun.

It's our own IU basketball draft, in which each of us pick a 7-man roster plus a coach from the last 12 years of IU basketball. We draft live, snake-style, then debate our rosters before turning it over to you to tell us whose team is best. Send us a tweet and let us know.

Here are the final rosters, for reference ...

Ryan:

• Starters: Jordan Hulls, Victor Oladipo, Troy Williams, Juwan Morgan, Thomas Bryant
• Bench: Noah Vonleh, Jerome Hunter
• Coach: Tom Crean

Coach Tonsoni:

We also talk about D.J. Carton, who set his official visit date, and why he is such an important recruit for Indiana in 2019. Ryan provides a short scouting report.

Then we dive into Indiana's less-than-impressive draft history over the last 30 years. We discuss what it means that Indiana has had such a dearth of quality draft picks, as contrasted with their much more impressive draft history from prior decades.

We assess every player who has been drafted since 1987 and rank them from least valuable to most valuable. The top two names on the list probably won't surprise you, but the placement of some other names might.

Finally, we take your questions:

Justin is easily the most common answer when you ask IU fans and analysts what player is most likely to break out next season. But what will that breakout look like? What strengths will Justin need to build on? What weaknesses will he need to improve? We dive deep to assess.

In addition, we also cover:

• The positive takeaway from the Indiana Senior-Junior All Star Game
• The importance of Indiana's upgraded social media strategy
• Jerod wonders aloud if we're underestimating the impact of Robert Johnson's loss, and Andy and Ryan give their thoughts

Then we answer your questions. This week, that includes:

• Our bold (yet realistic) predictions for the upcoming season
• Who we each think is the most overlooked player on the roster
• Which player is most susceptible to disappointing this season

And if you didn't get a chance to answer your question, we'll try to fire off another mailbag early next week to pick them up.

In this episode, Jerod opens with some thoughts on Rob Phinisee (why he's such a perfect fit for Archie Miller) and John Beilein (why it's in Indiana's best interest for Beilein to stay at Michigan). Then he answers a sack of questions submitted by listeners.

Question rundown:

• Will Clifton Moore get into the rotation?
• Is Al Durham the forgotten man in the backcourt, and could he be starting Big Ten play?
• Who is the enforcer on next year's team?
• What does Jerod eat and drink while watching games?
• What are reasonable statistical expectations for Romeo's freshman season?
• When will the schedule will be released?
• Should IU play another mid- or high-major team to improve its NCAA chances?
• Who is the one recruit in 2019 that is must-get for Indiana?

We hope you enjoy, and we'll plan to do another one of these sometime next week. It will probably be Monday, but could be Sunday or Tuesday depending on how things shake out.

You’ll hear from my dad first. It’s the most obvious place for me to start, but his is also one of the most unique perspectives you can find on Coach Mallory’s career -- because my dad was with Coach Mallory for roughly two decades as a player and coach. He’s got plenty of stories, and plenty of lessons, many of which he passed down to me.

Then you’ll hear from Greg Farrall, who played for Coach Mallory at Indiana. He was on the team that trounced Ohio State in 1988. He also once came within inches of tackling Coach Mallory from a full-on sprint -- so worked up from how hard Coach Mallory was riding him at practice one day. It’s a great story.

Next, you’ll hear from Steve Hirsch, who played for Coach Mallory at Northern Illinois. Steve tells the story of the time Coach Mallory actually passed out at halftime, having worked himself up into such a frenzy trying to motivate his team after a lackluster first half.

After that, you’ll hear from two players who played for Coach Mallory at Colorado: Willie Brock and Chuck McCarter. Both men discuss how close those Colorado teams were, and still are, because of Coach Mallory’s leadership.

Willie tells us the story of the time Coach Mallory unapologetically left two star players at the hotel when they didn’t make it to the bus on time. And about the time Coach Mallory went for a nice run with him ... until the final half mile, when things got competitive.

Chuck tells the story of the time Coach Mallory made an example out of him at practice, during a goalline tackling drill -- and why even though he felt like he’d been hit by a car afterwards, it profoundly impacted his own belief in himself.

This is just a sampling of the stories these players tell and the lessons they share. There is so much more -- enough to fill well over two worthwhile hours of airtime.

The memorial service and Celebration of Life for Coach Mallory are being held this Saturday, June 2nd, in Bloomington. The service will be at 10:00 am at First United Methodist Church on 4th Street. Then there will be a Celebration of Life ceremony at Memorial Stadium beginning at 1:30 pm. The event is open to the public, with seating in the East stands. The gates will open at 12:30.

I hope this episode serves as a worthy tribute to a man who made such a large and positive impact on so many people.

First player up: Devonte Green.

Indiana has been searching for stability at point guard ever since Yogi Ferrell graduated. Devonte has shown he has the talent to be a solid -- at times even spectacular -- Big Ten guard. But will he ever become consistent enough to be someone who Archie Miller can count on?

As always with Devonte, there are reasons to be optimistic and excited ... and reasons to be skeptical. We break all of those reasons down and assess our confidence level in his potential for a breakout junior season.

We also dig into his Synergy numbers from last season, give them context, and discuss what they suggest about his most important areas for improvement.

Oh, and that Washington Post story about Adidas sponsoring Romeo Langford's AAU team, and some of the ridiculous attention it garnered? We discuss that too. Plus a quick recruiting update.

-- Why such a big deal was made about this decision and the way it was announced -- and rightfully so
-- What this recruitment tells us about Archie Miller and the future of IU basketball
-- Which current Hoosier stands to benefit the most from playing with a talent like Romeo
-- What are reasonable expectations for Indiana next season if Juwan decides to return (as expected)?
-- Are the 2008 Indiana Hoosiers or 2003 Syracuse Orangemen fair comparisons/expectations for the 2018-19 Hoosiers?

And that is: the lessons that Archie Miller and IU fans can take from this year's Final Four participants, as we all look toward a future in which Indiana is actually a threat to make this event again.

Among the topics discussed:

-- The importance of guard play
-- Why experience matters, but only a particular type of experience ... and not without young talent to surround it
-- Reminders about the whims of NCAA Tournament play
-- How much pace matters (if at all) when it comes to making deep Tournament runs ... and what definitely matters more
-- The crazy shooting stats this year's Final Four team's possess
-- A reminder about the importance of patience with good coaches

And more.

We also reflect on the missed opportunity from 2016, touch on the women's basketball team making it to the title game of the WNIT, and, sadly, touch on the passing and underrated career of IU great Daryl Thomas.

Why were these IU fans feeling panicked? Because IU, like Virginia, plays the pack line defense. So if this could happen to Virginia ... are Archie Miller's Indiana Hoosiers going to be doomed to decades of underperforming in the NCAA Tournament?

As I said, the reactions were unnecessary and irrational. ;-)

But this being the offseason we need fresh meat to chew on, and these reactions provided the perfect springboard for an episode.

And while dismissing the Archie Miller/Tony Bennett comparisons is quite simple (for better and worse), this general topics also gave us a chance to put to bed the erroneous notions that Archie Miller's offense doesn't value the 3-pointer and that the pack line defense isn't adept at defending the three-point line.

— The continued strong play of Freddie McSwain and Zach McRoberts, who have turned the once-mocked “McLineup” into Indiana’s best five-man unit.
— Why Robert Johnson looked so much more comfortable tonight, even if his stat line doesn’t jump out at you.
— Why Ryan is now convinced that Archie Miller will win a national title at Indiana.
— More incredible numbers that show Indiana’s defensive growth over the past four weeks.
— Jerod and Andy drop the hammer on an atrocious, disrespectful broadcast by Fox Sports 1.
— Plus, Juwan Morgan actually did something wrong! (But still had the type of solid all-around game we’ve come to expect from him)

-- The disappointment of yet another no-show half for the Hoosiers in a game that was there for the taking.
-- De'Ron Davis delivering yet another underwhelming performance (and speculating on whether or not he's hurt).
-- Why Juwan Morgan's performance left plenty to be desired, but was still a sign of his overall growth as a player.

-- Juwan Morgan's workmanlike performance, and specifically a few key plays he made that stood out

This season marks the 25th anniversary of the 1993 season, which had been Indiana's last outright Big Ten championship before the 2013 team did it 20 years later. The '93 team was filled with IU legends: Calbert Cheaney, Greg Graham, Alan Henderson, Damon Bailey, Brian Evans, and more. And, of course, it featured Bob Knight still at the peak of his coaching powers.

Plus, the '93 season had unique elements like Calbert breaking the Big Ten scoring record, Nick Nolte attending games as he prepped for his role as Pete Bell in Blue Chips, the legendary story of Ivan Renko, and so much more. For those of us who grew up immersed in IU basketball at the time, it was a truly special season -- perhaps the last when IU was truly at the epicenter of the college basketball universe.

For this special edition episode, we convened an esteemed and enthusiastic panel to take a trip down memory lane and discuss the '93 season, as well as, inevitability, the Final Four season of 1992 that proceeded it.

-- Bill Murphy, author of numerous books about the history of IU sports, including Branch and the recently released Indiana Hoosiers Fans Bucket List, which he wrote with Terry Hutchens. (Starts at 7:10)

Indiana went on a 19-6 run to end the first half, then Iowa countered with a 17-5 run to start the second half, and finally Indiana regained control and blew the game open with a 29-9 run to build a 77-55 lead before Iowa scored a few buckets to make the final score look more respectable.

Juwan Morgan again led the way for Indiana, notching another double-double and saving his best play for the most crucial moments of the second half. The bench also came up big, as both Collin Hartman and Devonte Green were key members of the lineup during Indiana's best stretches of play. Mix in some solid work on both ends from De'Ron Davis, plus 14 combined rebounds from Robert Johnson and Josh Newkirk, and the generosity of Iowa's 18 turnovers, and the result is a solid and very important win for Indiana.

The Hoosiers now avoid the risk of a five-game losing streak (with Louisville and Notre Dame up next) and avoid a rough 0-2 start in conference play -- which is especially important given how the Hoosiers resume Big Ten play (with road games at Wisconsin and Minnesota).

And, of course, it helps when you have a guy playing at a superstar level, and over the last two games Juwan Morgan has done exactly that. Against Arkansas State, Morgan had a career night, showing the full spectrum of what's capable of doing when healthy and in the flow of the offense.

Jerod Morris and Andy Bottoms break every storyline from this game on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show -- including why this was a much better performance from Robert Johnson than the box score may indicate.]]>4162iubbcleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/352-iu-south-florida-postgame-show-rojo-and-juwan-lead-strong-2nd-half-bounceback--13372441
Indiana's play was so bad at one point that Archie Miller threw a towel in frustration, earning the first technical foul for an Indiana coach since ... do you even remember when?

And while the immediate impact of Archie's tech was a 4-point swing in South Florida's favor, the long-term impact on the team seemed immensely positive. Because from that point on, Indiana outscored South Florida by roughly 20 points, showing a renewed commitment to ball security, a greater willingness to box out, and the kind of leadership by example and production from Robert Johnson and Juwan Morgan that everyone has been clamoring for.

Johnson played strong defense and finally finding his shooting stroke, draining three triples and also executing several successful drives to the basket against a rather generous South Florida defense, while Morgan sparked Indiana in the second half by grabbing a handful of tough offensive rebounds and getting to line time after time through dogged effort in the paint.

While the Hoosiers still need to prove that they can play more than 20 good minutes on any given night, there was plenty to like in the second half on Sunday night to be encouraged that this team took another step forward in its development.

Indiana took a couple of powerful blows from a very good Seton Hall team and the Hoosiers punched right back, displaying the mental toughness, physical toughness, and execution that was so sorely lacking through the season's first 80 minutes.

But unfortunately, it all unraveled in the second half as the careless turnovers and ineffective defense were back, and Seton Hall imposed their will to dominate and win going away.

Still, in a season that appears destined to be measured in small gains and silver linings -- especially early on -- this game gave us some positive signs to grasp onto. Justin Smith and Al Durham are better than expected, Devonte Green gives the offense occasional spurtability, and Juwan Morgan appeared healthy and more than willing to play tough and physical.

As for Robert Johnson and De'Ron Davis, well, needless to say they have to be much better in Indiana's big games than they were on Wednesday night for the Hoosiers are to have any hope of winning one.
