IU-Gannon Postgame Show: Armaan Steps Up and Shows Out

On Tuesday night, Indiana defeated Gannon 84-54 in its lone exhibition game of the season. The Hoosiers were without Devonte Green and Al Durham, and only had a limited Rob Phinisee, so Armaan Franklin handled the bulk of the ball-handling duties ... and impressed everyone with a well-rounded Assembly Hall debut.After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show.On the mics: Jerod, Andy, and RyanAmong the topics discussed:— Armaan's impressive performance— What particular skill improvements seemed to manifest themselves in Justin Smith's efficient night (and where he left a bit to be desired) — More examples of Trayce Jackson-Davis' athleticism and competitiveness— Why you can only take so much from an exhibition game in which Indiana didn't have its three top guards— Where Jerome Hunter looked rusty, and where he seemed to find his comfort zone (albeit briefly)— Are Joey Brunk and De'Ron Davis setting up too far away from the basket?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.(Music provided by Bob Thompson -- die-hard Hoosier fan and longtime Assembly Call listener.)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
