6-Banner Sunday: Trayce Jackson-Davis is Ready to Be a Key Part of Indiana’s Future

By Leave a Comment

Welcome to another edition of 6-Banner Sunday, a joint production between The Assembly Call and Inside the Hall where we highlight the six most essential IU basketball stories of the past week.

With Little 5 occurring this weekend (congrats to Cutters and Teter for their victories), our student interns weren’t sure they would be in the right “frame of mind” for compiling this week’s news roundup. So they asked the old guy to step in, and I was happy to oblige.

There may be no more college basketball games to watch, but there are still plenty of intriguing IU hoops (and spring sports) storylines to follow.

In this week’s edition:

  1. Trayce Jackson-Davis is ready for what awaits him in Bloomington
  2. IU coaching staff hard at work to fill open roster spots
  3. Greg Graham reflects fondly on his time playing for Bob Knight
  4. IU basketball program value slips, but still top-5 overall
  5. Regular season ends for former Hoosiers in the NBA
  6. Spring sports update … including the football spring game

Banner Monday: Mailbag, Big Ten Roundup, Wichita State Preview [504]

By Leave a Comment

On this week’s edition of Banner Monday (episode #504 overall), Jerod and Ryan answer your questions, Mike DeCourcy finds some precedent for Devonte Green’s apparent late-career lightbulb flick, and Jerod previews what will be a tough game against Wichita State.

• [2:30] Jerod leads off with a Banner Moment from the Arkansas game, and then Ryan joins to answer your questions in this week’s mailbag.

• [34:01] Mike DeCourcy stops by to discuss Indiana’s NIT victories, whether there is precedent for Devonte Green emerging as a star this late in his career, which Big Ten teams that lost in the NCAA Tournament are most likely to return next season, and the roads to the Final Four for Michigan, Michigan State, and Purdue.

• [1:00:30] Jerod delivers an in-depth preview of Wichita State — and explains why this game is likely to be much more challenging than the disparity in seeds and season-long KenPom rankings might indicate. Oh, and why Justin Smith’s performance is critical for Indiana to win.
