Description

Following your Hoosiers is always more fun with friends. Come hang out with us after every Indiana basketball game, and every Thursday night, as our team of hosts -- Jerod Morris, Andy Bottoms, Ryan Phillips, and Brian "The Coach" Tonsoni dissect every angle of IU basketball, as we've been doing since 2011. We are equal parts unabashed fandom and objective analysis, with plenty of laughter along the way. If you're looking for knee-jerk analysis and hot takes, this is NOT the show for you. But if you want a show that isn't afraid to critique play while always staying supportive of players, then this is the place for you.

It's been a while! With the Sweet 16 games taking over Thursday night again, we decided to hop on a day early to discuss a wide range of topics:• The big win over Oklahoma for the women's team• Our observations and favorite players from the NCAA Tournament• A whole bunch of stuff about the portal: Indiana's priorities, a few early names that have emerged, how we're approaching portal season differently this season, and more• We also meander into a conversation about the key intangible ingredients that were missing last season, and how coaches can go about trying to build rosters that include them• Plus we answer a bunch of mailbag questionsIt's a fun conversation that will feel much more like and episode of CrimsonCast than Assembly Call. We didn't have much time to prep, so we ditched most of the music and segments and just talked. If you enjoy this format, let us know and we can work it in more. If you don't, please accept our apologies ... but hopefully the conversation is fun and enjoyable anyway! We'll most likely be back to normal next episode.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Thursday night's incredible IU victory over Iowa inside of a raucous Assembly Hall was so much fun that we decided to hop online for an impromptu postgame show, since the Doing The Work postgame show had to be rescheduled to Friday.So Jerod and Coach do their best to break down the tough, passionate, smart performance Indiana delivered against Caitlin Clark and Iowa -- turning one of the greatest women's basketball players of all-time into the most inefficient version of herself. Every starter -- led by Mackenzie Holmes -- contributed a big performance, and the bench stepped up as well.Honestly, it's just a fun, free-wheeling, happy postgame show. For those of you longtime listeners, it may remind you a bit of the early years for ... a variety of reasons. ;-) But man, it's just a fun conversation about a damn fun basketball game to watch between two damn good teams. And that felt good again. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What a weekend it was.On the one hand, the basketball was terrible. Indiana got drilled on its homecourt by a Penn State team that played smarter, harder, and more together. Indiana was good for 15 minutes, then listless thereafter.On the other hand, for us personally, it was an incredible weekend filled with friends, great food and drinks, and time spent in the best college town on earth. So it may not have been a win for the Hoosiers, but it sure was a win for us!In this episode, you'll hear a few pieces of audio:To start, a quick intro setting up the audio and getting a few housekeeping notes out of the way (including why you won't be seeing Jerod as much over the next month).Then (8:15) you'll hear the live reaction audio Jerod and Ryan recorded in the car while making their way to Upstairs.And finally (30:03), you'll hear the live audio from Upstairs, which includes some additional postgame reaction, audience Q&A, and brief chats with all of the Back Home Network show hosts -- including Galen in rare form that you won't want to miss.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On Tuesday, Indiana gritted out a 74-68 win over Iowa, despite blowing a 17-point first-half lead and losing Xavier Johnson and Malik Reneau to injury. Anthony Leal had the best game of his IU career scoring 13 points off the bench while Kel'el Ware led the team with 23 points.IU took the lead for good at 69-68 on a Gabe Cupps three-pointer in the final two minutes. This was after Iowa's Payton Sandfort gave the Hawkeyes the advantage on a ridiculous fade away jumper in the corner as the shot clock was expiring. The Hoosiers improved to 13-8 overall and 5-5 in the league and take on Penn State Saturday at 12 pm on FS1.
