In this week’s edition of Basketball 201, Ben and Jerod reflect on Indiana’s two-game losing streak to Iowa and Ohio State.
First, they review a couple of clips that show how Ohio State knew exactly what Indiana was going to do defensively and ran specific actions to exploit it. This led to a larger conversation about what it takes to succeed with a defense like the packline that requires intricate precision.
Then, they look at a couple of clips from the Iowa game that show how effective De’Ron is as a passer, and how his vision and subtle set of passing skills helped to create open looks for his teammates.
In today’s edition of Banner Morning:
• Indiana’s two home losses didn’t drop the computer rankings as much as you might expect.
• Some bracketologists have IU out … and some still have the Hoosiers (barely) in.
• Zach Osterman is not buying the notion that Indiana still has a realistic shot at the NCAA Tournament.
• Happy birthday to one of the all-time great scorers in IU history.
On this week’s edition of Banner Monday, Jerod answers a flurry of mailbag questions and then Mike DeCourcy joins for his weekly segment talking IU and Big Ten hoops.

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.
