[498] IU-Ohio State Postgame Show: Despite Devonte's Heroics, Another Bitter BTT Defeat

What this episode covers

On Thursday afternoon, Indiana added another chapter to its ever-thickening tome of Big Ten Tournament disappointments. Despite a remarkable shooting performance from Devonte Green, Ohio State delivered a tough, mature performance that was too much for Indiana to overcome. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show. On the mics: Jerod and Ryan. Among the topics discussed: — Why the play of Devonte Green and, to a lesser extent, De'Ron Davis, was one of the positive takeaways for IU fans already looking toward next season. — The inability of Romeo and Juwan to exert their will on the game for any extended stretch. — Why one of the key factors in this game was Ohio State having mature senior guards, and Indiana relying on young players who weren't able to rise to the occasion. — The impact of Kaleb Wesson's return, and why Ohio State's game plan was better and more properly executed than Indiana's. — Props for Al Durham and Evan Fitzner, even in a losing effort. — What happened to Rob Phinisee and Justin Smith? 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.
