On Sunday afternoon, Indiana fell short in a critical, close-to-must-win game against Ohio State. Slow starts to each half and sluggish offense throughout the doomed the Hoosiers to their fourth straight loss and ninth loss in ten games.

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

On the mics: Jerod, Ryan, and special guest host Chad Schwartzkopf

Among the topics discussed:

— The strong play off the bench by Indiana's junior duo of Devonte Green and De'Ron Davis.
— The not-so-good day for Justin Smith.
— Why Juwan Morgan didn't score well today, but still did a lot of good things for Indiana.
— Breaking down the rough days for Indiana's young backcourt of Al Durham and Rob Phinisee.
— Did Archie makes some tactical mistakes down the stretch that hurt Indiana's chances of winning?
— Another weird day for Romeo, who started and finished well but really drifted out of the game in the middle.

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.
