On Saturday afternoon, Indiana was non-competitive against one of the least imposing teams Wisconsin has fielded in the last two decades. The supposedly defensive-minded Hoosiers allowed the 112th-ranked offense in the country to score north of 1.4 points per possession. And Indiana’s offense wasn’t much better.
After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show.

This week on Assembly Call Radio, we discuss what must happen for Indiana to end its losing streak at Wisconsin against a Badgers team that is just 4-4 on the season. We also discuss the importance of the Big Ten’s strong start to non-conference play and go on the record with some over/under predictions for Big Ten play.
And then we answer questions about the following topics:
• Is Devonte best suited to coming off the bench, even if he still plays starter minutes?
• Who has impressed us more: Armaan or Damezi? (Do we really have to choose??)
• Which Wisconsin players concern us the most?
• What Big Ten victory in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge was the most impressive?
• If we win on Saturday, where will we be ranked?
• Why does Race not play in the second halves of games?
• Does the Florida State win impact recruiting?
• What underrated storylines will have an outsized impact on Indiana’s season from here on out?
And a question from Luke that drew the ire of Coach.
All of that and more on this week’s edition of Assembly Call Radio.
On the mics: Jerod, Andy, and Coach

On Tuesday night, Indiana finally faced a good opponent and the Hoosiers rose to the challenge. The Hoosiers led by 11 at the half, then saw Florida State steadily grind the lead down. But Indiana responded with impressive toughness and effort down the stretch, which paired nicely with the scintillating display of Devonte Green’s play-making and shot-making skills that put the game away.
After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show.
On the mics: Jerod, Ryan, and Andy
Among the topics discussed:
— Why Devonte Green led Indiana with more than just his shooting and play-making, but also with this toughness and effort.
— Another performance from Justin Smith that suggests he’s truly turned over a new leaf as a junior.
— The critical two-minute stretch in the second half that Trayce Jackson-Davis owned for Indiana, which saved the lead against Florida State’s last gasp.
— Why it was a tale of two halves for Al Durham.
— Armaan Franklin’s performance, and how he contributed mightily by doing the little things again and again, all night long.
— The best performance of Damezi Anderson’s young career.
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.
