Brian Tonsoni from Delphi Bracketology talks the Big Ten bids, bubble teams, and what seen range can Purdue expect.
Indiana basketball fans have spent the season trying to figure out exactly what Darian DeVries' offense looks like — and this episode dives deep into the answer. Bob Moats and Mike Wiemuth welcome Brian Tonsoni and Tony Adragna for a coach-level breakdown of IU's evolving offensive concepts, player development trends, and why the program's foundation may already be stronger than the record suggests.The Evolution of Modern College OffenseThe conversation begins with a wide-angle look at how college basketball offenses have changed in recent years. From continuity ball screens to five-out spacing and hybrid systems blending Princeton, Euro, and modern spread concepts, the group explores how today's best teams mix old ideas with new spacing principles — and why versatility and skill across positions now matter more than size alone.So… What Is DeVries Actually Running?Rather than a rigid playbook, Indiana's offense appears built around concepts and reads. The hosts explain how DeVries organizes families of actions that allow players to react to defensive coverage instead of executing robotic sets. Through film examples, they highlight screen-to-screener actions, flare concepts, and counters that evolve throughout games — evidence of intentional design even when possessions don't end in points.Optionality vs. Robotic BasketballOne recurring theme: IU's offense feels different because every action contains multiple outcomes. Screeners slip, shooters relocate during drives, and reads develop in real time, making the system harder to scout. The panel contrasts this flexibility with previous IU offenses, noting how modern spacing and simultaneous movement create advantages even without elite downhill creators.Player Development Showing Up in Real TimeLamar Wilkerson becomes a central case study in development within the system. The coaches discuss his progression from cutter to driver to multi-level scorer, emphasizing improved strength, balance, and playing off two feet. The conversation expands to broader roster growth, suggesting several players have improved throughout the season despite structural limitations.The Foundation vs. the Roster CeilingWhile praising scheme and adaptability, the group agrees IU still lacks certain roster pieces — particularly a consistent downhill creator and rim protection. Still, the coaching staff's adjustments, scouting preparation, and conceptual clarity signal a program building toward sustainability rather than short-term fixes.Modern Shot Selection and the Three-Point DebateThe episode closes with discussion of Indiana's three-point volume relative to elite offenses nationally. Rather than criticizing shot totals, the hosts frame success around shot quality, spacing, and roster versatility — arguing that improved personnel could unlock the full efficiency of DeVries' system.This episode brought to you by the Back Home Network and Homefield Apparel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You know Coach Tonsoni from Assembly Call, but he has also been a long time IU Football season ticket holder. Wanted to get him on to talk about his history with IU Football, and what this season and journey to a National Championship has meant to him.
Indiana suffered another loss, falling 72-60 to Kentucky at Rupp Arena in a game of two vastly different halves. The Hoosiers led 39-32 at halftime despite shooting just 21% from three-point range, but were overwhelmed in the second half by Kentucky, who combined with superior athleticism to spark a decisive run that exposed Indiana's lack of size and north-south ability.Coach Tonsoni, Bob, and Mike break down a disappointing performance where Indiana did many things poorly but still had chances to win before being outclassed by Kentucky's athletes in the final 15 minutes.Lamar Wilkerson's fourth foul at the 17-minute mark proved catastrophic, removing Indiana's best athlete just as Kentucky began dominating the glass and attacking downhill.Point guard play from Tayton Conerway and Conor Enright struggled under pressure, with the team finishing with just eight assists and 18 total turnovers.Nick Dorn's aggressive first-half drives and seven free throws showed the spark Indiana needs from him consistently against quality competition.Tucker DeVries battled hard with 15 points and seven rebounds, but Indiana's 4-for-24 three-point shooting made it impossible to overcome Kentucky's dominance in the paint.Kentucky's second-half lineup adjustments to feature their most athletic players exposed roster construction issues that will need addressing in future portal cycles.Indiana's 26-for-29 free throw shooting and competitive effort for 30 minutes offered some positives before fatigue and athleticism gaps became insurmountable.The week off before hosting Chicago State provides crucial time to work on ball security, limiting fouls, and finding more reliable interior scoring options.On the mics: Brian Tonsoni, Bob Moats, Mike WiemuthSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Indiana cruised to a 100-56 victory over Bethune-Cookman to move to 7-0, responding emphatically after lackluster performances in their previous two buy games with crisp ball movement (15 assists on 17 first-half field goals), relentless defensive pressure, and balanced scoring that saw four players reach double figures. The Hoosiers never let up, building a 51-23 halftime lead and maintaining their intensity throughout.Coach Tonsoni breaks down the dominant performance while taking questions from the chat about Big Ten prospects, lineup rotations, and how Indiana will defend bigger teams like Michigan and Purdue.The offensive masterclass showcased by the ghost screen play—Conerway's behind-the-back pass to Enright who swung it to DeVries for three—epitomizing Indiana's ball movement philosophyNick Dorn's successful return to the rotation with 14 points on 4-5 three-point shooting in 19 minutes, adding another weapon to the perimeter arsenalLamar Wilkerson's response to a 1-8 three-point night by attacking the basket and finishing 6-7 inside the arc, showing how to impact the game when shots aren't fallingConor Enright's point guard skills on display with seven assists, including creating perfect angles on the fast break to find open shootersTrent Sisley's rim-running and backdoor cutting ability that makes Indiana's offense so difficult to guard, plus his nine rebounds off the benchThe defensive intensity that held Bethune-Cookman to 0.848 points per possession while forcing turnovers and contesting shots all nightIndiana's 84.2% free throw shooting and 27 assists on 36 field goals continuing the trend of unselfish, efficient basketballOn the mic: Brian Tonsoni (solo show)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Indiana moved to 6-0 with an impressive 86-69 victory over Kansas State, delivering their most complete performance of the season. Suffocating defense held the nation's leading scorer PJ Haggerty to 16 points (12 below his average) and limited a high-octane Kansas State offense to under one point per possession. Reed Bailey overcame a rough first half to dominate the second half with 14 points in 16 minutes, while Conor Enright's defensive masterclass on Haggerty proved this team can win in multiple ways against quality competition.Coach Tonsoni, Ryan Phillips, and Bob Moats break down a statement win that has Indiana's defense rising to 15th in KenPom and the offense proving it doesn't need Tucker DeVries to go nuclear every night.Conor Enright's defensive clinic on Haggerty, fighting through screens and harassing him into "mental jello" all night while forcing Kansas State into uncomfortable mid-range jumpersReed Bailey's tale of two halves—three turnovers in 13 first-half minutes before erupting for 14 points on perfect shooting while finally playing through contact in the second halfTucker DeVries diving on the floor for loose balls and dishing five assists despite scoring just nine points, showing elite players don't let cold shooting nights affect their effortThe second-half rebounding dominance (outrebounding Kansas State 20-10) after getting outworked in the first half, proving Indiana can respond to adversity within gamesTrent Sisley's first-half spark off the bench with eight points in 15 minutes when DeVries and Bailey were strugglingThe offensive adjustment to spread the floor and create driving lanes for Tayton Conerway's aggressive rim attacks despite his seven turnoversIndiana shooting 71% on two-pointers and finishing plus-18 in hustle points while holding Kansas State to 40% from three (down from their 47% season average)Plus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Bob Moats and Mike Wiemuth break down how player compensation is forcing coaches and programs to think like Billy Beane, analyzing roster construction through the lens of buying wins instead of just buying players.IU's Hot Start & The Omar Cooper ParallelThe guys open celebrating IU's 4-0 start under Darian DeVries while drawing parallels between miracle plays in football and basketball. Finding ways to win isn't just about spectacular moments—it's about putting yourself in position through smart aggregation of talent and data.• Omar Cooper's impossible catch as a "games of inches" lesson• IU rising in metrics by beating predictors• Conerway's passing, Wilkerson's elite shooting on display• Penn State fans still bewildered in grocery storesThe Moneyball Framework for College BasketballMike and Bob lay out how the classic "Moneyball" approach translates to today's NIL-driven college basketball landscape, where buying wins through buying points is the new reality.• The key quote: "Your goal shouldn't be to buy players. Your goal should be to buy wins."• One-seed teams need roughly 540+ point margin over opponents for the season• Box Plus Minus (BPM) as the "on-base percentage" of basketball• IU's last 500+ point variance seasons: 2013, 1993, 1992, 1990Finding Undervalued TalentThe hosts identify the statistical thresholds and player types that offer the best return on investment in the portal and recruiting landscape.• Players with 5.0+ BPM at mid-majors show "stickiness" when jumping to Power Five• Elite one-seed starters average 8.7 BPM (roughly Yogi Ferrell level or better)• 85% of one-seed starters have 6.0+ BPM• The "Lance Jones bump" - finding best player on mediocre team who can elevate• Target the Mountain West, A-10, and top mid-majors for 5+ BPM playersThe Money Problem: Who's Overpaying?Bob and Mike examine which programs are spending wisely versus which are trapped by their own wealth, using real scenarios to show how compensation complicates roster building.• Example: $3M five-star with 3.0 BPM vs. $1.7M A-10 POY with 6.8 BPM• The "hammer looking for nails" problem when you have too much money• Ohio State's Anthony Thompson situation: Overspend or necessary premium?• Why 50% of one-seed starters now come from the portal• BYU reportedly paying AJ Dybantsa $5-7M - only 3-5 schools can competeThe New Three-Dimensional RealityThe compensation era adds a third dimension to roster construction that constrains even wealthy programs and creates new strategic challenges.• Pre-NIL: Two-dimensional (program fit + player development)• Post-NIL: Three-dimensional (add budget constraints)• Top NIL programs creating their own pressure traps• Market correction concerns: "Is that guy still worth $7M after a 25% correction?"• Underground economy going public usually lowers prices—this did the oppositeComing up: A rivalry show with Everything College Basketball's Josh and Peyton Burton (UK and UL fans), plus an extended film room session with Tony Adragna and Brian Tonsoni breaking down DeVries' system.This episode brought to you by the Back Home Network and Homefield Apparel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Indiana survived a sluggish shooting performance to defeat Incarnate Word 68-61, moving to 4-0 in the Darian DeVries Era despite shooting just 20.8% from 3 and missing several open looks throughout the game. The Hoosiers built a comfortable 19-point lead with stellar defense through the first 30 minutes, but allowed Incarnate Word back into the game late before responding with clutch plays from Tucker DeVries and Tayton Conerway to close it out.Brian Tonsoni and Bob Moats break down what happens when a perimeter-oriented team can't buy a bucket, examining how Indiana's defensive intensity (holding Incarnate Word to 0.95 points per possession) and physicality on the boards in the second half kept them in control even when nothing was falling offensively.Sam Alexis's game-changing spark off the bench with 16 points (5-7 FG), 8 rebounds, and energy that completely shifted the game's momentum when Indiana needed it mostTrent Sisley's rebounding impact with 8 boards in just 20 minutes, attacking the glass with aggression that helped Indiana turn around a poor defensive rebounding startThe Spain action to start the game getting Reed Bailey an easy dunk, showcasing DeVries's willingness to use his best shooters as screeners in creative waysTayton Conerway's all-around excellence with 7 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks, and the playmaking that kept Indiana's offense from completely stallingConor Enright's hustle plays throughout all 33 minutes, including key offensive rebounds and defensive pressure even when the blocking foul calls didn't go his wayThe concerning final 8-10 minutes where Indiana let a 19-point lead shrink to 5, showing they need to learn how to finish games with intensity even when aheadIndiana's defensive pressure and screen navigation forcing two shot clock violations and disrupting Incarnate Word's offensive flow for most of the gameAll that and more in this edition of The Assembly Call.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Indiana proved it can hang with legitimate competition as the Hoosiers knocked off Marquette 100-77 in Chicago, methodically building a lead behind Tucker DeVries' unconscious first-half shooting (24 points on 8-12, 5-7 from three) before Lamar Wilkerson took over in the second half to fend off every Marquette run. Despite significant foul trouble that had multiple starters sitting with three or four fouls, IU never let the lead dip below 10 points and played their walk-ons in the final minute of a neutral-site game against a Big East opponent—a sentence nobody expected to write in November.Andy, Ryan, Coach Tonsoni, and Coach Moats break down how this victory against Shaka Smart's pressure defense validated everything we saw in the early games, examining the adjustments that kept IU in control despite 25 team fouls, and celebrating a performance that moved Indiana to 21st in KenPom.Tucker DeVries' masterclass setting the tone with 24 first-half points, including the heads-up pass to Sicily after slow-playing Marquette into thinking he'd pull it outLamar Wilkerson's second-half takeover with 15 points and multiple dagger threes that stopped every Marquette run cold when DeVries sat with foul troubleTrent Sisley stepping up huge in extended minutes (30 total, 16 in second half) with 11 second-half points including the crucial crosscourt pass to Wilkerson for a momentum-killing threeThe offensive versatility: ghost screens, guard-to-guard ball screens, backdoor cuts off face-guarding, and constant counters to everything Shaka Smart threw at them27 assists on 33 made field goals with only eight turnovers against havoc pressure, plus the starting three guards combining for 21 assists and just three turnoversManaging foul trouble masterfully—playing guys with 3-4 fouls extended minutes, backing off ball pressure strategically, and only having one disqualificationSam Alexis and Jasai Miles eating critical bench minutes when foul trouble hit, with Alexis going for 13 and 5 in 26 minutes as a plus-34And much more.On the mics: Andy Bottoms, Ryan Phillips, Brian Tonsoni, and Bob MoatsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Indiana proved we can compete with high-level opponents in their second exhibition, grinding out a thrilling 76-74 victory over 17th-ranked Baylor in a game that felt nothing like an exhibition.

Indiana basketball ushers in a new era as Darian DeVries takes the helm, bringing proven program-building success and a modern basketball philosophy to Bloomington. The 49-year-old coach comes from West Virginia after orchestrating an impressive single-season turnaround and establishing a winning tradition during his six years at Drake.In this emergency podcast, we provide our immediate reaction to the hire.DeVries' commitment to three-point shooting and defensive intensity signals a significant stylistic shift for the Hoosiers, while his reputation as a relentless recruiter offers hope for reconnecting with in-state talent and navigating the NIL landscape effectively.Among the topics discussed:DeVries built Drake into a Missouri Valley power with six 20-win seasons before transforming West Virginia from last place in the Big 12 to a 19-win team that should have made the NCAA TournamentAt West Virginia, his teams ranked 44th nationally in three-point attempt rate (46.1%) and 38th in points from three-pointers (38% of total points)His defensive approach at West Virginia produced impressive results, ranking in the top 15 nationally with the 9th-best three-point defense (29.7%)The 27-year college coaching veteran (20 years as an assistant under Dana Altman and Greg McDermott) brings extensive program-building experience that Indiana has lackedRecruiting could see immediate improvement, with potential to add several shooters including Tucker DeVries (his son) and possibly keeping current IU commit Trent Sisley in the foldFormer IU assistant Tom Ostrom (currently on DeVries' staff at West Virginia) could return to Bloomington to strengthen in-state recruiting connectionsOn the mics: Brian Tonsoni, Ryan Phillips, and Josh PosSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After struggling in the Bahamas, Indiana showed some encouraging signs on offense in a decisive 97-71 victory over Sam Houston State, highlighted by a smaller lineup and strong bench contributions.Mike Woodson demonstrated flexibility by moving away from the two-big lineup that had struggled previously, while Luke Goode (career-high 18 points) and Anthony Leal provided crucial energy and execution off the bench that helped spark the offense.The defensive concerns remain, but the Hoosiers showed they may be able to compensate with improved offensive spacing and tempo when playing with just one big man on the floor.Key discussion topics included:The stark difference in offensive flow and spacing when playing with one big versus twoMyles Rice's second-half emergence after early strugglesThe invaluable hustle and leadership provided by Anthony Leal in his expanded minutesIndiana's improved defensive rebounding after struggles in that area in the BahamasWhat tonight's lineup adjustments could mean for the rotation going forwardContinued concerns about perimeter defense despite the comfortable winPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.
