IU-North Alabama Postgame Show: Hoosiers Cruise But Defensive Struggles Continue

Published: Nov. 13, 2019, 3:51 a.m.

b'On Tuesday night, Indiana scored another double-digit victory against an overmatched opponent in a game that was a tale of two halves. The Hoosiers shot well but didn\'t play well (especially on defense) in the first half, but they executed much better in the second half to turn a 7-point lead into a 26-point victory.

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

On the mics: Jerod, Ryan, and Andy

Among the topics discussed:

\\u2014 Why Trayce Jackson-Davis\' six-point flurry in the second half was the pivotal moment in the game and put Trayce\'s magnificent potential on full display
\\u2014 Archie Miller didn\'t have his team ready to go from the tip, but whatever he said at halftime certainly proved effective.
\\u2014 Assessing the struggles of Al Durham and Justin Smith
\\u2014 Another encouraging night from Jerome Hunter
\\u2014 Why Race Thompson is earning himself more minutes
\\u2014 Rob Phinisee\'s understated but pivotal play in leading this IU team through some rough patches.

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.
