b'On Sunday afternoon in Ann Arbor, Indiana played the #2 team in the country toe-to-toe for the final 30 minutes of action. Unfortunately, the first 10 minutes of the game count also, and Indiana got off to another horrible start that proved to be a deficit too steep to recover from.

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

On the mics: Jerod, Ryan, and Coach

Among the topics discussed:

\\u2014 Why there are reasons to be simultaneously encouraged and bewildered by how this game played out \\u2014 if you\\u2019re willing to put the final result within the larger context of this developing season.
\\u2014 The positives from Juwan Morgan and Romeo Langford, who put Indiana on their backs offensively.
\\u2014 The negatives from Juwan Morgan and Romeo Langford, whose first half foul trouble and early-game struggles directly led to Michigan\\u2019s scorching start.
\\u2014 Justin Smith\\u2019s strong play defensively on Ignas Brazdeikis.
\\u2014 Another forgettable, and mostly unproductive day, from Indiana\\u2019s beleaguered and diminishing bench.
\\u2014 Some good things to take away from the performances of Devonte Green and Al Durham.
\\u2014 Why Archie Miller gets strong reviews for his performance \\u2026 not for having the team ready to play out of the gates, but for pushing a lot of the right buttons after being dealt a 30-13 deficit.
\\u2014 Plus a rant about why some IU fans are being ridiculous in their comments about how Indiana is handling the concussions of Rob Phinisee and Race Thompson.

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.
