IU-LSU 1992 Postgame Show: Calbert Cheaney Leads Indiana Past Shaq and LSU

By Leave a Comment

On Sunday night, we rewatched the 1992 Round of 32 game between Indiana and LSU. Shaq was the most dominant player on the court, but Indiana was by far the better team. Calbert Cheaney led the way, the rest of the frontcourt made shot after shot, and Damon Bailey hit two huge second half 3s.

After the rewatch, our crew broke down the game in detail.

On the mics: Coach, Ryan, and Scott from Crimson Cast

Among the topics discussed:

— Calbert Cheaney’s greatness.
— Indiana’s defensive strategy against Shaq, and why it was smart even though Shaq had a dominant statistical line.
— Indiana’s incredibly efficient offense.
— How Damon Bailey and Jamal Meeks stepped up during an off night for Greg Graham.
— What aged the best and worst in the 28 years since.

And so much more …

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.

IU-Oklahoma 1998 Rewatch Postgame Show: Andrae Patterson Prevents Total Late-Game Collapse

By Leave a Comment

On Friday night, we did our first rewatch of a classic IU NCAA Tournament game — the 1998 first round battle against Oklahoma.

The Hoosiers led by 19 at one point in the second before collapsing, but they were able to pull out the win in overtime. Without Andrae Patterson’s strong play down the stretch, Indiana likely would have lost in the first round for the fourth straight season.

On the mics: Jerod, Andy, and Galen Clavio from Crimson Cast

Among the topics discussed:

— Why it was so heartening seeing Andrae Patterson play such a well-rounded game in such a big spot as a senior.
— The scintillating offensive strengths and frustrating defensive limitations of A.J. Guyton and Luke Recker.
— Why William Gladness was so valuable as a role player.
— The depth issues of the 1998 team, and why it was a microcosm of the biggest issue that plagued the final years of the Knight era.
— What the hell happened to Michael Lewis in the second half?
— Who is the better play comp for Devonte Green: Recker or Patterson?

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.
