Published: March 23, 2019, 7:38 p.m.

b'On Saturday afternoon, in front of a large and raucous crowd, Indiana avenged its early-season loss to Arkansas thanks to another big game from Devonte Green, a solid effort on both ends from Rob Phinisee, and a huge boost from the bench.

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

On the mics: Jerod and Ryan

Among the topics discussed:

\\u2014 How Devonte Green compensated for a few bad turnovers and shots with one of the most complete games of his career, and yet another in his encouraging late-season surge.
\\u2014 The importance of De\'Ron Davis responding to Archie\'s challenge and leading a strong bench effort.
\\u2014 Rob Phinisee\'s understated by enormously impactful day on both ends of the court.
\\u2014 Why Al Durham played well even if he didn\'t shoot well.
\\u2014 Another rough outing for Justin Smith, who could not get going on either end.

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.
