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":"[1117] IU-Michigan State Postgame Show","slug":"1117-iu-michigan-state-postgame-show","published_at":"2026-03-02T03:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-assembly-call-iu-basketball-podcast-and-postgame-show-1078880/1117-iu-michigan-state-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/1117-IU-Michigan-State-Postgame-Show-e3l1aqf","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/113fb3e5c/podcast/play/121727247/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-5-19%2F426475055-44100-2-c5d06e7d10209f38.mp3","summary":"Indiana dropped its fourth straight game, falling 77–64 to Michigan State as the Hoosiers’ late-season slide continued and their NCAA tournament hopes faded further. Despite sustained effort and moments of competitiveness, Indiana again struggled to overcome talent gaps, rebounding issues, and offensive limitations against a top-tier Big Ten opponent. Coach Tonsoni and Ryan Phillips break down another frustrating loss and what it says about Indiana’s present — and future: How Indiana’s defensive adjustment to a matchup zone briefly slowed Michigan State but couldn’t overcome sustained shooting efficiency The momentum-killing offensive rebounds that repeatedly erased Indiana runs Why the Hoosiers’ offense stalled without a consistent downhill creator to put defenses in rotation The growing consensus that effort isn’t the issue — roster talent and fit are Tucker DeVries’ all-around performance and leadership amid difficult offensive circumstances The broader impact of Indiana’s four-game skid on postseason hopes and program trajectory Why the upcoming offseason — especially portal additions — now looms as the program’s most important stretch Plus, key statistical takeaways, game ball and Hoosier Hustle Award selections, and a discussion of how Indiana should approach the final games with pride and long-term perspective in mind.
