IU-Minnesota Postgame Show: The Brunkyard Dog Returns (and Trayce Shines Bright Again)

Published: March 5, 2020, 3:36 a.m.

On Wednesday night, Indiana secured a much-needed home victory over Minnesota, outscoring then Gophers by 7 points in the second half after poor finish to the first half. While Trayce and Rob were solid from start to finish, Joey Brunk and Al Durham were major difference makers in the second half.

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

On the mics: Jerod and Andy

Among the topics discussed:

— Why the improved play of Joey and Al in the second half, especially on offense, was so important for Indiana.
— Trayce Jackson-Davis' stellar night on a sore foot, and why his hustle was as impressive as his skill.
— What the recent improvements by Rob Phinisee potentially mean for Indiana down the stretch.
— The frustration of Indiana's inability to string together longer stretches of good play.
— The struggles of Indiana's bench.
— What this victory means from a bracketology perspective for Indiana.

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.
