Indiana surrendered a late lead at Oregon, falling 73-64 after being outscored 10-0 in the final 1:30 when execution once again faltered at the worst possible time. The Hoosiers competed well on the road against a surging Ducks team but couldn't overcome a massive free throw disparity (19-21 for Oregon vs 3-7 for IU) and 23 Oregon second-chance points.Among the topics discussed:Indiana's inability to generate quality shots late squandered a 64-63 lead created by Trey Galloway's clutch three-pointerAnthony Leal's defensive impact, including a critical steal that tied the game at 61Oregon's physical defense limited IU throughout, particularly in the second halfThe two-big lineup showed both promise and limitations against Oregon's athleticismIndiana's offensive struggles in crunch time (just 5 points in the final 8 minutes)The massive rebounding disadvantage and 15 offensive rebounds surrenderedCritical implications for Saturday's regular-season finale against Ohio StatePlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana kept its late-season momentum rolling with a commanding 78-62 road victory over Washington, marking the Hoosiers' fourth win in their last five games and pushing their record to 18-11 (9-9 in Big Ten play). IU controlled the game almost from the opening tip, building a double-digit first-half lead and responding decisively whenever Washington threatened to make it close.Malik Reneau delivered a masterful performance despite coming off the bench, scoring an ultra-efficient 22 points on 10-of-13 shooting in just 25 minutes.

In a raucous Assembly Hall, Indiana delivered a stunning performance to defeat rival Purdue 73-58, highlighted by a dominant second-half surge that saw the Hoosiers outscore the Boilermakers 48-21 after intermission. Despite trailing by 12 at halftime, IU unleashed a devastating 28-3 run early in the second period behind suffocating defense and efficient offense to take control against their in-state rivals.The victory improved Indiana to 16-11 (7-9 Big Ten) and featured a remarkable defensive effort that completely disrupted Purdue's rhythm, forcing 11 second-half turnovers while limiting the Boilermakers to just one assist after the break.

Indiana's inconsistent season continued with a hard-fought but ultimately disappointing 72-68 home loss to UCLA.

Indiana delivered a stunning upset in East Lansing, defeating Michigan State 71-67 to delay Tom Izzo's bid to break Bob Knight's all-time Big Ten wins record. The Hoosiers showed impressive resilience and toughness, particularly in the second half behind Malik Reneau's 16 points after intermission. The win ended a difficult stretch for the program and demonstrated what this team is capable of when playing together for 40 minutes.Indiana's effective use of zone defense and balanced scoring helped overcome Michigan State's home court advantage, with Reneau (19 points, 12 rebounds) and Oumar Ballo (14 points, 10 rebounds) leading the way. The victory required clutch free throw shooting down the stretch, as every Hoosier who played scored and attempted at least one free throw in a true team effort.Key topics analyzed:Indiana's defensive adjustment to more zone looks proving highly effectiveMalik Reneau's dominant second half performance after coming off the benchThe Hoosiers' improved late-game execution, particularly at the free throw lineMental toughness shown bouncing back from early deficit to control middle portion of gameBetter offensive balance and ball movement leading to quality shotsCritical road win to snap recent losing streak in dramatic fashionPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana's troubling downward spiral hit a new low as the Hoosiers were blitzed early, falling behind 26-4 in the opening minutes en route to a 76-64 loss at Wisconsin. The final 12-point margin masked what was effectively a 20-point defeat, as Indiana only made it close with late points against Wisconsin's reserves. While freshman Bryson Tucker provided a rare bright spot with improved three-point shooting, the team's continued defensive lapses and stagnant offensive execution painted a grim picture with just eight regular season games remaining.Topics Analyzed:A devastating start that saw Indiana fall behind by 22 points in just six minutes, raising serious questions about preparation and effortMike Woodson's halftime lineup change moving away from the two-big lineup showed some promise but proved too lateConcerning body language and competitive response when trailing, continuing a worrying trendBryson Tucker's development, including hitting two three-pointers after making just one all season priorWisconsin exploiting Indiana's perimeter defense to shoot 12-29 (41.4%) from three-point rangeGrowing questions about the program's direction amid a sixth loss in seven gamesPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana put together one of its better performances of the season but ultimately came up short in an 81-76 loss at #10 Purdue. The Hoosiers led by as many as seven points in the first half and showed tremendous resilience in the second half, responding to a Purdue run with a 12-0 spurt of their own to retake the lead. However, the Boilermakers made enough plays down the stretch to secure the victory -- and Indiana made enough mistakes to ensure defeat.Mackenzie Mgbako led IU with 25 points in perhaps his best game as a Hoosier, while Trey Galloway added 16 points and sparked the second-half comeback. The five-man group of Mgbako, Galloway, Luke Goode, Anthony Leal and Umar Ballo played nearly the entire second half and showed tremendous fight, though fatigue may have been a factor late.Key Talking Points:Strong defensive effort limiting Purdue to 2-13 from three-point range20 turnovers prove costly, leading to 26 Purdue pointsBench contributes 28 points behind Galloway and GoodeLittle production from starters Myles Rice (0 points) and Malik Reneau (3 points)Final possession execution costs IU chance at potential game-tying shotPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana let a late lead slip away in the final minute as Maryland escaped Assembly Hall with a 79-78 victory, dealing a crushing blow to IU's NCAA tournament hopes. The Hoosiers built a four-point lead in the closing minutes behind huge plays from Anthony Leal and Myles Rice, but defensive breakdowns and poor late-game execution proved costly.After getting clutch plays from Leal and a strong second-half shooting performance from Rice (3-5 from three), Indiana seemed poised to secure a crucial home win. However, failing to foul with a foul to give and defensive confusion on Maryland's final possession led to a Rodney Rice three-pointer that put the Terrapins ahead. IU's final offensive possession was marred by substitution confusion and resulted in a forced shot that missed at the buzzer.Key Talking Points:Efficient offensive performance (1.24 points per possession) wasted by defensive lapsesMaryland shot 12-24 from three while repeatedly finding open shootersMyles Rice (12 points) and Anthony Leal provided huge second-half sparksLineup and execution issues in critical final minute prove devastatingAnother tough home loss further damages NCAA tournament resumePlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana continued its frustrating pattern of inconsistency on Tuesday night, falling 79-70 at Northwestern for their fifth straight loss to the Wildcats. After building a six-point halftime lead with an 18-2 run to close the first half, IU's defense completely fell apart after intermission as Northwestern scored 54 second-half points on a blistering 62.5% shooting.While Indiana showed brief signs of life with a 10-0 second-half run to take a 52-49 lead, Northwestern responded with a devastating 21-4 run that effectively ended any hopes of IU's first win in Evanston since 2019. The loss drops Indiana to 14-6 (5-4 B1G).Key Talking Points:• Northwestern torched IU's defense for 1.69 points per possession in the second half• Four Wildcats (Barnheizer, Martinelli, Barry, Leach) combined for 77 of Northwestern's 79 points• IU's offense remained overly reliant on contested mid-range jumpers while Northwestern generated clean looks• Malik Reneau showed significant rust in his return, going 0-6 in 11 limited minutes• Another game defined by IU's inability to sustain positive momentum when taking leadsPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Illinois thoroughly dominated Indiana in a 94-69 rout at Assembly Hall that represented one of the program's most discouraging performances in recent memory. The Hoosiers fell behind by 30 in the first half and never mounted a serious challenge, dropping their second straight game by 25+ points.Defense and effort were major issues from the opening tip, as Illinois built their lead through a combination of hot three-point shooting (8 first-half threes) and dominant offensive rebounding (17 second-chance points in the first half). While IU showed brief signs of life with a 10-0 run to start the second half, they could never seriously threaten the Illini's lead.Key Discussion Topics:• Complete defensive collapse, particularly in transition and defensive rebounding• Concerning lack of competitive response when falling behind early• Questions about accountability as the same issues persist game after game• Unprecedented negative crowd reaction including significant departures at halftime• Growing concerns about the program's direction after consecutive 25-point lossesPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana suffered another embarrassing road defeat, falling apart in the second half as Iowa handed the Hoosiers their second blowout loss in Big Ten play. After briefly showing signs of life with a first-half run to take a 28-25 lead, Indiana surrendered an 18-5 run to close the half and then was outscored 14-5 to open the second period. From there, the team's effort and execution completely collapsed en route to a 25-point defeat.The loss highlighted ongoing concerns about the program's inability to compete on the road against even average conference opponents, as Indiana has now lost 16 of its 31 Big Ten regular season games under Mike Woodson by double digits, with 12 of those defeats coming by 15 or more points.Key discussion points from the show included:Indiana's complete defensive collapse, allowing Iowa to score at will both in transition (26-2 advantage in fast break points) and from threeThe team's poor shot selection and offensive stagnation, particularly from young players like Kanaan CarlyleQuestions about accountability and systemic issues within the programGrowing frustration about the team's tendency to follow promising stretches with non-competitive road performancesConcerns about what this means for upcoming games against Illinois and other ranked opponentsPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana continued its strong play of late, using a dominant second half and balanced scoring attack to secure its fourth Big Ten win and fifth straight victory overall. After a sluggish start, the Hoosiers found their rhythm behind outstanding performances from Myles Rice (19 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists) and another efficient outing from Oumar Ballo, ultimately pulling away for a comfortable double-digit win.For the third straight game, Indiana showed improved offensive flow and spacing playing with one big man, as four players scored in double figures while the team hit timely three-pointers and controlled the offensive glass. The second-half backcourt play of Rice and Trey Galloway proved particularly decisive, as the duo scored or assisted on 15 straight points to help Indiana build a lead it wouldn't relinquish.Key discussion points from the show included:The continued benefits of improved floor spacing and offensive balanceStrong performances from role players like Luke Goode (4-5 from three)The team's growing confidence and connectivity in recent gamesImproved ball security against USC's pressure (just 6 turnovers)Questions about maintaining this momentum heading into a challenging road stretchPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana secured its first Quad 1 win of the season, using an impressive 12-0 run to start the second half and strong performances from Oumar Ballo (25 points, 13 rebounds) and Mackenzie Mgbako to earn a crucial Big Ten road victory. Playing without injured forward Malik Reneau, the Hoosiers showed improved offensive spacing and flow for the second straight game, hitting timely three-pointers and controlling the offensive glass to maintain control despite a late Penn State rally.The win moves Indiana to 3-1 in Big Ten play and provides important momentum as the team enters a challenging stretch of conference games. For the second straight contest, Indiana displayed better ball movement, defensive connectivity and competitive fire that had been missing in earlier games this season.Key discussion points from the show included:The benefits of improved floor spacing and offensive balance with one big manOumar Ballo's dominant two-way performance following his one-game absenceStrong complementary contributions from Luke Goode (5 offensive rebounds) and othersThe team's improved shooting and decision-making in transitionQuestions about how to maintain this offensive rhythm when Malik Reneau returnsPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana showed improved offensive balance and competitive spirit in defeating Rutgers at Assembly Hall, overcoming the early loss of Malik Reneau to secure an important conference win. Despite an incredible 39-point performance from Rutgers freshman Ace Bailey, the Hoosiers maintained control throughout most of the second half and found enough offensive firepower to secure a double-digit victory.Playing with just one big man after Reneau's injury, Indiana's offense showed better spacing and flow, leading to a breakout three-point shooting performance (12-of-27) and strong games from Myles Rice (21 points) and Oumar Ballo (17 points, 12 rebounds).Key discussion points from the show included:The benefits of playing with one big man and improved offensive spacingStrong performances from role players like Anthony Leal and Luke GoodeIndiana's improved competitive effort and hustle plays throughout the gameThe importance of building on this performance with tougher games aheadQuestions about Malik Reneau's status moving forward after his early knee injuryPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Despite leading throughout, Indiana struggled to put away Winthrop in their final non-conference game, showing many of the same concerning trends that have plagued them recently. Playing without Oumar Ballo (lower leg injury?), the Hoosiers allowed an 8-0 Winthrop run late that cut the lead to one before ultimately securing a nine-point win that felt much closer than the final margin suggests.The team's ongoing identity crisis was highlighted by abysmal three-point shooting (1-for-20) and continued defensive issues, particularly containing dribble penetration, as Winthrop scored 36 points in the paint against an Indiana defense that often looked disconnected and fundamentally unsound.Key discussion points from the show included:The stark contrast between Indiana's individual talent and their collective struggles to play cohesive basketballQuestions about whether the roster construction matches the defensive scheme being employedEncouraging performances from Myles Rice (18 points) and unexpected spark from Langdon Hatton (7 points, 11 rebounds)Growing concerns about the team's readiness for Big Ten play after another underwhelming performanceThe continued absence of consistent effort and connectivity that has defined the season thus farPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana struggled but ultimately prevailed over Chattanooga 74-65, showing many of the same inconsistencies that have plagued them throughout the early season. The Hoosiers allowed Chattanooga to lead for nearly 13 minutes of the first half before making defensive adjustments, then endured a concerning 7-minute scoring drought in the second half that allowed the Mocs to stay within striking distance.Despite building an 11-point second half lead, Indiana's offensive execution and defensive focus remained sporadic, requiring some key late baskets to secure the victory. While there were bright spots - including improved offensive balance and transition scoring - the performance raised continued questions about the team's defensive identity and ability to maintain consistent effort.Key discussion points from the show included:Indiana's defensive struggles against Chattanooga's Princeton-style offense, particularly defending backdoor cutsThe ongoing challenge of developing trust and connectivity between players, especially on defensePositive developments in the transition game and high-low offensive actionsConcerns about late-game execution and decision-makingThe need to establish better competitive habits and defensive fundamentals before Big Ten play resumesPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana's concerning trend of lopsided losses continued in Lincoln, as the Hoosiers fell to Nebraska 85-68 in a game that spotlighted many of this team's persistent issues, particularly on the defensive end.The Hoosiers showed flashes of improved play and modern offensive principles in stretches, including battling back from early deficits in each half to make it a one-point game with seven minutes remaining. However, as has happened far too often under Mike Woodson, Indiana collapsed down the stretch as Nebraska closed on a 17-1 run.Key topics discussed and analyzed in the postgame show include:Indiana's defensive struggles, as they allowed Nebraska to shoot over 61% and score 1.25 points per possessionThe unusual shot distribution, with IU attempting 35 three-pointers while post players Malik Reneau and Oumar Ballo combined for just 10 shotsMyles Rice's impressive 20-point performance, including a crucial run where he scored 13 straight points that kept Indiana in the game (temporarily)Luke Goode's continued emergence as an energy player and leader despite the team's strugglesConcerning trends about IU's ability to compete for 40 minutes on the roadQuestions about whether this team's defensive issues can be fixed given both scheme and personnel limitationsPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana opened Big Ten play with an impressive 82-67 victory over Minnesota, highlighted by strong bench contributions from Kanaan Carlyle (14 points) and Bryson Tucker (16 points) that keyed a decisive 16-1 first-half run. This was one of IU's most complete performances of the season as the Hoosiers controlled the tempo throughout, overcoming some early defensive lapses to dominate inside with their size advantage while getting five players in double figures scoring.Other key storylines discussed:Oumar Ballo's efficient night (5-5 FG, 8-11 FT) showed continued improvement in his offensive game and free throw shootingIndiana successfully dictated pace against a Minnesota team that typically likes to play slowThe bench unit of Carlyle/Tucker/Galloway/Goode/Ballo sparked the game-changing run with their defensive energyMultiple displays of hustle plays and floor-diving effort that energized Assembly HallStrong ball movement led to 21 assists on 30 made field goalsPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana's 76-57 victory over Miami (OH) displayed both the team's immense potential when locked in and lingering concerns about consistency. The Hoosiers built an early lead, let Miami back in, then pulled away late behind strong performances from their frontcourt. Omar Ballo's dominant 18-rebound, 6-assist effort and Malik Reneau's efficient 19-point performance highlighted IU's size advantage, but 16 turnovers and defensive communication issues remain worrisome with Big Ten play approaching. Mike Woodson emphasized the need to clean up defensive switches and maintain better focus throughout games.Other key storylines discussed:A tale of two halves, with IU outscoring Miami 37-21 after halftimeTrey Galloway's improved three-point shooting (3-4) and overall steady playMyles Rice's efficient 17-point performance despite some turnover issuesMackenzie Mgbako's struggles (4 points) and the challenge of staying engaged when shots aren't fallingStrong bench contributions, particularly from Luke Goode who provided energy and hustle playsPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

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.

Indiana put forth one of the most disappointing performances of the Mike Woodson era in an 89-61 loss to Louisville in the Battle 4 Atlantis opener.The Hoosiers looked unprepared and uninspired from the opening tip, falling behind early and showing little fight as Louisville steadily built their lead throughout the game. The loss severely damages Indiana's non-conference resume and raises serious concerns about the team's ability to compete in showcase events, continuing a troubling pattern from recent seasons.Key discussion topics:Guard play was abysmal, with IU's backcourt getting thoroughly outplayed by Louisville's Chucky HepburnIndiana committed 23 turnovers compared to just 21 made field goalsLouisville dominated points in the paint (48-20) despite IU's size advantageLack of offensive creativity and adjustments when Louisville took away IU's primary optionsQuestions about team's mental toughness and ability to handle adversityLuke Goode provided one of few bright spots with his vocal leadership late in the gamePlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana's struggles with consistency continued even in victory, as stretches of dominant play were mixed with concerning lapses in what became a closer-than-expected 69-58 win over UNC Greensboro. The Hoosiers jumped out to an early 21-4 lead but allowed UNCG to battle back and tie the game in the second half before freshman Bryson Tucker helped IU pull away. Poor defensive rebounding and stagnant offensive stretches provided reasons for concern heading into next week's Battle 4 Atlantis tournament. Key topics discussed:Bryson Tucker's breakout second half performance (14 points, including 12 after halftime) providing a crucial sparkMyles Rice's strong overall game (20 points, 6 assists) but heavy 35-minute workloadDefensive rebounding issues allowing 17 offensive boards to a smaller UNCG teamContinued low 3-point attempt volume despite preseason emphasis on increasing perimeter shotsBench rotation challenges and finding the right lineup combinationsGrowing importance of upcoming Louisville game and Battle 4 Atlantis tournament for NCAA resumePlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

When the 2024 season started, the baseball world was delighted to see a healthy Mike Trout back to his MVP form, including stealing bases like he was a rookie again. Unfortunately, a torn meniscus forced him to the IL at at the end of April, and it was just announced that he suffered another tear while rehabbing the injury, which will cause Trout to miss the rest of this season.Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman talk about the extremely disappointing news surrounding the three-time American League MVP, and they discuss how the ownership group from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim let Trout down by not assembling a true postseason contender and why baseball fans have been robbed of his potential greatness in October.Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about how the Baltimore Orioles are shuffling their roster post trade deadline, including recalling top prospects Jackson Holliday and Coby Mayo in hopes of giving the team a spark during their slump. They also make their guesses at who was named their team's Heart and Hustle Award winner for 2024 before giving their picks for The Good, The Bad and The Uggla for this week.(1:41) - Mike Trout is out for the rest of 2024(20:10) - The O's shuffle their roster(28:19) - 2024 Heart and Hustle Award winners(43:57) - The Good(47:14) - The Bad(50:44) - The UgglaFollow the show on X at @CespedesBBQFollow Jake @Jake_MintzFollow Jordan @J_Shusterman_

Richie, Spencer, and Brian project which Hornets player would have the best chance of winning an end-of-season award. They look at MVP, Most Improved Player, Defensive Player of the Year, Sixth Man of the Year, and the Hustle Award. The three end on a game of NBA Awards trivia.

Shohei Ohtani pitched four scoreless innings against the Mariners last night before he was forced to stop due to hand cramps. But guess what, he still came back and hit a home run late in the game…only for the Angels to lose 5-3. Jake and Jordan talk about how this man is pushing his body to the absolute limits, and break down how the end of that game went down. Then, they have a look at the Wild Card Picture for each League, guess the winners of the Heart and Hustle Award for each team, and give their nominations for “The Good, the Bad, and the Uggla.”Merch Link: podswag.com/baseball

We all knew it was likely but now it's a reality.
