On Friday, IU closed out their non-conference season with a 100-87 win to improve to 10-3 overall. It was a rollercoaster of a game as the Hoosiers jumped out to a big lead early, only to have the Owls cut into it at halftime and take a four point lead about midway through the second half. From there, Indiana took control led by Malik Reneau's career high 34 points to win going away.

The Hoosiers trailed much of the night and were down 64-49 before a a 20-4 run and final defensive stop allowed Indiana to escape.

On Saturday, IU led most of the game but succumbed to a late comeback by top-five Kansas in a 75-71 loss. While the team has no bad losses in pre-conference play, they don't have a signature win either and at 7-3 will need a strong conference season to make March Madness.

We’re excited to welcome Mike DeCourcy back for this Friday conversation on IU and Big Ten hoops.

We cover a number of topics:

• What does he think of IU’s play so far this season, and their potential for improvement?
• What does he make of the Big Ten’s overall struggles in non-conference play?
• Is he seeing anything different from the Big Ten’s one true elite team, Purdue?
• Where does IU stack up in the current Big Ten hierarchy?
• How many bids will the Big Ten get come March?
• Is there actually an inverse relationship between how deep a conference is with good teams and how much success the conference has in March?

And more. It's always a fun and insightful episode when Mike is involved.
