[425] Juwan Morgan’s Guarantee and 3 Teams Stats That Must Improve in 2019

What this episode covers

On this week’s edition of Assembly Call Radio, we react to Juwan Morgan’s many interesting comments from his podcast appearance with Andy Katz before breaking down three team stats that Indiana needs to improve upon this season to make good on Juwan’s NCAA Tournament guarantee. On the mics this week: Jerod, Andy, and Coach Tonsoni In Segment One [2:17], Jerod delivers his Banner Moment, and then Andy and Coach gang up pretty viciously on Ryan for sleeping through the first half of last week’s show. Then the guys run through a few Hoosier Hysteria headlines and discuss whether the early start time will be good or bad for attendance. In Segment Two [14:27], the guys dissect Juwan Morgan’s comments on Andy Katz’s podcast — including his praise for Romeo Langford, his belief in what Evan Fitzner can bring to the team, and the surprising biggest thing he learned from the NBA Draft exploration process. In Segment Three [26:21], the guys break down three high-leverage team stats that Indiana needs to improve upon to be better this season. Fortunately, there are reasons to believe improvement can happen for all three stats. They discuss 3-point shooting, defensive rebound, and assist-turnover ratio from the guards. In Segment Four [44:26], two listener questions dominate discussion: 1) which coach from the “golden triangle” will have the most success over the next few years; and 2) which former IU player is the best player comp for Ryan. (He’ll HATE this discussion.) All of that and more on this week’s edition of Assembly Call Radio. NEED TICKETS?
