The Assembly Call IU Basketball Podcast and Postgame Show

In this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio, we have a special guest: point guard Rob Phinisee, who signed his letter of intent this week to join Jerome Hunter, Damezi Anderson, and Jake Forrester (plus Race Thompson too) in Archie Miller's first recruiting class at Indiana.

Rob provides insight on his game, what he's trying to improve on during his final year in high school, what it's like playing for a new coach in his senior season, why he chose IU, what Archie Miller is like away from the court, and, most interestingly, how he feels about Archie Miller continuing to pursue 5-star point guard Darius Garland.

In addition to talking with Rob, we take a look ahead to the 2017-18 season. Does Andy have Indiana his preseason field of 68? What are our record predictions for the Hoosiers? Who do we think will be the leading scorer and most surprising player?

And much more. All of that on this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio.

On Sunday afternoon, Indiana completed its exhibition schedule with a 74-53 victory over the University of Indianapolis. After the game, Jerod and Ryan broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show.

Among the topics discussed:

-- De'Ron Davis' encouraging performance
-- Should we be concerned about Juwan Morgan's struggles to get going offensively?
-- What is Indiana doing to make such a marked improvement with turnovers?
-- Did the defense continue to show improvement today?
-- Freddie McSwain shows off his full arsenal
-- Collin Hartman makes his presence felt in return

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.

On this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio, we linger a bit on the first exhibition game, react to a few comments from Archie Miller's first weekly coach's show, and discuss the latest IU basketball headlines.

Then we debut a new segment called "Secret Overreactions" in which we deliver some gut-level feelings we're having that we'd prefer to keep to ourselves ... but since, you know, we host a show, we don't have that luxury. After we reveal our deep, dark overreactions, we call each other out for being crazy ... or maybe onto something.

And finally, we answer your questions.

The Hoosiers finally hit the hardwood against an opponent other than themselves on Saturday night. Among the biggest takeaways from Archie Miller's first game as the head coach of Indiana were fewer turnovers and better team defense -- along with the stellar play of Devonte Green, and an up-and-down night for Robert Johnson.

Oh, and did a player actually get held accountable for an egregious turnover? Why yes, yes he did. We give this important moment the celebration it deserves.

All of this, and more, on the latest edition of The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show.

On this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio, we discuss a number of topics. We begin by hitting on recruiting, of course, because it's been the hottest topic of the week. We discuss what we’re hearing about Romeo Langford and Darius Garland, and what it could all mean.

Then we discuss the preseason KenPom rankings, which are now out. I crunched the numbers on how Indiana has fared recently against its preseason projections, and how Archie Miller’s Dayton teams fared. You won’t want to miss these results. Plus, we dissect what the projections suggest about Indiana’s non-conference schedule. (Note: Andy's a more little concerned than he anticipated being.)

Next, we provide a few additional reflections on the Hoosier Hysteria scrimmage. Andy and I obviously dove deep on this in the post-scrimmage show (which, if you missed, was episode 342 of The Assembly Call). But we’ll now get to add Ryan’s thoughts to the mix

And then we answer your questions -- and there were lots of good ones submitted this week.

Also, I mention in this episode that our preseason donation drive is currently underway. You can learn more here (https://assemblycall.com/preseason-donation-drive-2017/) and see the secure donation options here (https://assemblycall.com/preseason-donation-drive-2017/).

Saturday night in Bloomington, we got first look at actual live basketball played by an Archie Miller-coached Indiana team.

It was, as you would expect, and up-and-down performance from just about everybody, and we break it all down on this edition of The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show hosted by Jerod Morris and Andy Bottoms and featuring special guest host Brian Tonsoni.

On this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio, we dive deep into the Big Ten conference. We assess the biggest questions facing each of Indiana's Big Ten opponents as we enter the season, and we give our projections for the Big Ten standings and where the Hoosiers fit in the overall pecking order.

We also pick up a few stray items from last week's IU media day that we didn't have a chance to address -- including the phrase Archie Miller used that has Jerod all kinds of excited.
