Indiana surrendered a late lead at Oregon, falling 73-64 after being outscored 10-0 in the final 1:30 when execution once again faltered at the worst possible time.

The Hoosiers competed well on the road against a surging Ducks team but couldn't overcome a massive free throw disparity (19-21 for Oregon vs 3-7 for IU) and 23 Oregon second-chance points.

Among the topics discussed:

• Indiana's inability to generate quality shots late squandered a 64-63 lead created by Trey Galloway's clutch three-pointer
• Anthony Leal's defensive impact, including a critical steal that tied the game at 61
• Oregon's physical defense limited IU throughout, particularly in the second half
• The two-big lineup showed both promise and limitations against Oregon's athleticism
• Indiana's offensive struggles in crunch time (just 5 points in the final 8 minutes)
• The massive rebounding disadvantage and 15 offensive rebounds surrendered
• Critical implications for Saturday's regular-season finale against Ohio State

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.
