from The Assembly Call IU Basketball Podcast and Postgame Show

Indiana survived a nail-biting overtime thriller against Wisconsin, winning 78-77 after blowing a 14-point first-half lead and trailing by four with under a minute left in regulation. Lamar Wilkerson, appearing to battle through injury late, scored Indiana's final 10 points of regulation including a clutch layup with under three seconds to force overtime, then became the only Hoosier to score in the extra period as Indiana improved to 16-8 overall and 7-6 in Big Ten play with a crucial victory over a tournament-caliber opponent.Andy Bottoms, Coach Brian Tonsoni (live from Assembly Hall), and Coach Bob Moats break down the gutsy win and questionable finish:How Sam Alexis dominated with 19 points on 9-of-10 shooting and five blocks, proving Indiana can win when the three-point shot isn't falling (just 5-of-22 from deep) by attacking inside for 44 paint pointsThe defensive game plan that held Wisconsin to 38% shooting and forced their offense into uncomfortable spots, including varied ball screen coverages tailored to different shootersWhy Indiana's late-game execution remains a glaring weakness—giving up an 11-point lead in the final four minutes with stagnant offense and defensive breakdowns before Wilkerson's heroicsConnor Enright's massive charge call in overtime when everyone was screaming for Indiana to foul, putting officials in position to make the game-deciding callThe controversial finish including the non-travel call on Alexis and the foul on Wilkerson's game-winner that sent Greg Gard into a meltdownTucker DeVries playing all 45 minutes doing everything but scoring in bunches, plus Josiah Miles's critical defensive minutes when Nick Dorn struggledWhat this win means for Indiana's tournament resume—picking up a quality home win over a team on the same seed line while showing the resilience to close out tight gamesPlus, as always: the big moments you might have missed, stats that stood out, and our game ball and hustle award.This episode brought to you by the Back Home Network and Homefield Apparel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
