Sunday, 12 January, 2025
Indiana suffered another embarrassing road defeat, falling apart in the second half as Iowa handed the Hoosiers their second blowout loss in Big Ten play. After briefly showing signs of life with a first-half run to take a 28-25 lead, Indiana surrendered an 18-5 run to close the half and then was outscored 14-5 to open the second period. From there, the team's effort and execution completely collapsed en route to a 25-point defeat.The loss highlighted ongoing concerns about the program's inability to compete on the road against even average conference opponents, as Indiana has now lost 16 of its 31 Big Ten regular season games under Mike Woodson by double digits, with 12 of those defeats coming by 15 or more points.Key discussion points from the show included:Indiana's complete defensive collapse, allowing Iowa to score at will both in transition (26-2 advantage in fast break points) and from threeThe team's poor shot selection and offensive stagnation, particularly from young players like Kanaan CarlyleQuestions about accountability and systemic issues within the programGrowing frustration about the team's tendency to follow promising stretches with non-competitive road performancesConcerns about what this means for upcoming games against Illinois and other ranked opponentsPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions. That's all in this edition of The Assembly Call.On the mics: Coach Brian Tonsoni, Coach Bob Moates, and Ryan PhillipsAfter building some momentum with five straight wins against lesser competition, Indiana's progress was severely undermined by another road collapse that raised familiar questions about the program's direction under Woodson.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
