IU-Chattanooga Postgame Show

Indiana struggled but ultimately prevailed over Chattanooga 74-65, showing many of the same inconsistencies that have plagued them throughout the early season.

The Hoosiers allowed Chattanooga to lead for nearly 13 minutes of the first half before making defensive adjustments, then endured a concerning 7-minute scoring drought in the second half that allowed the Mocs to stay within striking distance.

Despite building an 11-point second half lead, Indiana's offensive execution and defensive focus remained sporadic, requiring some key late baskets to secure the victory. While there were bright spots - including improved offensive balance and transition scoring - the performance raised continued questions about the team's defensive identity and ability to maintain consistent effort.

Key discussion points from the show included:

  • Indiana's defensive struggles against Chattanooga's Princeton-style offense, particularly defending backdoor cuts
  • The ongoing challenge of developing trust and connectivity between players, especially on defense
  • Positive developments in the transition game and high-low offensive actions
  • Concerns about late-game execution and decision-making
  • The need to establish better competitive habits and defensive fundamentals before Big Ten play resumes


Plus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions. That's all in this edition of The Assembly Call.

On the mics: Coach Brian Tonsoni and Bob Moats

The show also included a touching tribute to Indiana basketball legend Dick Van Arsdale, who passed away earlier in the week, providing some important perspective on a day when the Hoosier community was processing both the basketball team's uneven performance and the football team's tough loss to Notre Dame in their bowl game the previous evening.
