[451] IU-Penn State Postgame Show: Rob Phinisee Carries IU Across Finish Line

What this episode covers

On Tuesday night, Indiana overcame a poor start and a shaky finish to grind out an important road win over Penn State in Happy Valley. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show. On the mics for this episode: Andy and Ryan. Among the topics discussed: — Why Rob Phinisee’s play late in the second half saved IU’s bacon, and further solidified him as IU’s point guard. — The tale of two halves for Romeo Langford. — What to make the surprising (and somewhat encouraging) Clifton Moore sighting in the first half. — How free throw shooting actually worked out in Indiana’s favor for once. — The importance of Indiana’s strong defensive effort. — The ups and downs of Devonte Green, and the continued impressive play from Al Durham. — Justin Smith’s poor offensive production contrasted with his strong defensive effort. 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. NEED IU GEAR?
