Come hang out with us after every Indiana basketball game, and every Thursday night, as our team of hosts -- Jerod Morris, Andy Bottoms, Ryan Phillips, and Brian \"The Coach\" Tonsoni dissect every angle of IU basketball, as we've been doing since 2011. We are equal parts unabashed fandom and objective analysis, with plenty of laughter along the way. If you're looking for knee-jerk analysis and hot takes, this is NOT the show for you. But if you want a show that isn't afraid to critique play while always staying supportive of players, then this is the place for you.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-16T14:20:39.348827+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-assembly-call-iu-basketball-podcast-and-postgame-show-1078880"},"episode":{"title":"[1116] IU-Northwestern Postgame Show","slug":"1116-iu-northwestern-postgame-show","published_at":"2026-02-25T04:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-assembly-call-iu-basketball-podcast-and-postgame-show-1078880/1116-iu-northwestern-postgame-show","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-assembly-call-iu-basketball-podcast-and-postgame-show-1078880","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jerod-morris/episodes/1116-IU-Northwestern-Postgame-Show-e3l1b4i","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/113fb3e5c/podcast/play/121727570/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-5-19%2F426475422-44100-2-bb9a315ec3690b26.mp3","summary":"Indiana suffered a devastating 72–68 home loss to Northwestern, falling to 17–11 overall and 8–9 in Big Ten play after squandering a strong first half and enduring another prolonged offensive drought. The Hoosiers built an early lead behind hot shooting but went cold late, allowing a struggling Northwestern team to seize control and dramatically complicate Indiana’s NCAA tournament outlook. Andy, Ryan, and Coach Tonsoni break down a frustrating defeat that exposed familiar issues on both ends of the floor: How Indiana’s red-hot start — fueled by Lamar Wilkerson’s early shooting — unraveled into a second-half scoring drought that decided the game Why the offense stalled into perimeter passing and late-clock jumpers during a decisive 10-minute stretch without a field goal The puzzling rotation decisions surrounding Tayton Conerway despite his clear impact attacking the rim Defensive breakdowns and matchup choices that allowed Northwestern’s Nick Martinelli to take over the second half The rebounding and physicality gaps that turned a struggling opponent into the more aggressive team Missed late foul calls that loomed large — while also highlighting why Indiana never should have been in that position What this loss means for Indiana’s tournament chances with urgency now surrounding the final stretch of the season Plus, the Hall of a Moment, game balls, Hoosier Hustle Award, and a candid discussion of where Indiana stands heading into a critical matchup with Michigan State.
