[462] IU-Illinois Postgame Show: Romeo Takes Over

Published: Jan. 4, 2019, 4:01 a.m.

b'On Thursday night, Indiana reopened Big Ten play with an 8-point victory over Illinois. Once again, the Hoosiers started slow, but Romeo Langford shook Indiana out of its offensive doldrums and set a new career high in leading the Hoosiers to victory.

After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show.

On the mics: Jerod, Andy, and Ryan

Among the topics discussed:

\\u2014 Romeo\\u2019s terrific night offensively.
\\u2014 The struggles of Devonte Green.
\\u2014 The emerging issue of Indiana\\u2019s mostly unproductive bench (outside of McBob, who delivered a vintage McBob performance).
\\u2014 Why Justin Smith was better than the box score indicates.
\\u2014 Juwan Morgan\\u2019s quietly outstanding night.
\\u2014 Why we were impressed with Al Durham\\u2019s performance.
\\u2014 And for some reason (we apologize) \\u2026 Ryan\\u2019s nasty old AC sweatshirt

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.
