[465] Talking Concussions, Bracketology, and the Importance of a Consistent Third Scoring Option

What this episode covers

This week on Assembly Call Radio, we react to Archie's media availability (and the continued bad injury news), address some of the ridiculous fan responses to Indiana's concussion issues, assess Indiana's current bracketology status, and then dissect the issue of a consistent third scoring option. And more. On the mics: Jerod, Andy, and Ryan. • 00:30 In Segment One, Jerod takes the Wooden Award to task for leaving Juwan off their midseason list, Andy and Ryan provide their opening takes, and then we react to Archie's media availability -- which included some bad injury news but also some interesting comments about Clifton, Justin, Devonte, and Al. • 19:10 In Segment Two, Ryan kicks things off by rehashing the discussion about concussions in between segments. Then Andy comes in with an update on how Indiana's NCAA Tournament resume is shaping up and should stay that way, assuming Indiana can simply win more than it loses moving forward. • 31:05 In Segment Three, we answer two important questions. One, does Indiana need a consistent third scoring option to emerge? And two, who is most likely to be the guy who fulfills that role? • 44:05 And in our final segment, we answer your questions. One is specifically for Ryan ... and his answer will anger you. Then we answer questions about IU's poor transition offense and offer NBA player comps for Romeo and Juwan. All of that and more on this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio. To watch the unedited live video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX2-OtHWSJ8 Want a better night’s sleep?
