This week on Assembly Call Radio, we break down the Final Four in the only real way we can make it relevant for an Indiana basketball show.

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.

With Andy Bottoms out, our coach, Brian Tonsoni, filled in. He joins Jerod and Ryan for this episode.
