Indiana continued its impressive start with a workmanlike 101-70 victory over Milwaukee at Assembly Hall, methodically building a lead throughout the second half en route to their third straight 100-point performance. While the Hoosiers shot a scorching 50% from three (14-28) and got another offensive clinic going, it was Tayton Conerway's most complete game as a Hoosier—21 points on efficient shooting, 6 assists, and relentless defensive pressure—that set the tone for a team that continues to validate every promise Darian DeVries made about effort and unselfishness.Andy, Jerod, and Coach break down how this veteran roster's basketball maturity showed itself in the way Indiana handled Milwaukee's runs with immediate answers (usually a Lamar Wilkerson three), examining the defensive improvements in the second half and celebrating an offense that continues to function at an elite level even when Tucker DeVries was held to just two first-half points.Lamar Wilkerson's instant-response shooting, hitting four threes in the first half and finishing with 24 points as the answer to every Milwaukee runTayton Conerway's breakout performance showing his speed and scoring ability when he attacks the rim, plus the hustle play late in a 25-point game diving for a loose ballReed Bailey's versatility on full display with 12 points, 4 assists, and the alley-oop dunk off the backboard from Enright that brought the house downConor Enright's defensive pest performance with deflections, rebounds (5), and finally hitting his first half-court three as a HoosierThe stark defensive improvement from first half (1.11 PPP) to second half (0.89 PPP) after DeVries got into them at halftimeNick Dorn's return to action showing he's ready to contribute, scoring 8 points in 7 minutes with an itching-to-shoot mentalityIndiana allowing opponents just 27.6% of their shots from three (12th in the country) while taking 43.5% of their own attempts from deep—completely reversing the math problem that plagued them for yearsOn the mics: Andy Bottoms, Jerod Morris, and Brian TonsoniSee 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 basketball fans got their first real look at the new era under Darren DeVries as the Hoosiers dominated their opening exhibition game in Puerto Rico 98-47. This edition of The Assembly Call brings together Coach Tonsoni, Ryan Phillips, Galen Clavio, and Bob Moats to break down a game none of them actually watched - relying instead on social media updates, live blogs, and video clips to piece together what happened.The banner moment says it all: 21 three-point attempts in the first half alone. While Indiana only hit six of them, the sheer volume represents everything fans have been hoping to see - a complete departure from the basketball of recent years.Key discussion points include:First impressions of the starting five and what their roles might beTrent Sisley's breakout performance and what it means for depthThe European influence and basketball IQ on displayEarly defensive concerns and growing pains with communicationWhat the pace and ball movement suggest about this new systemBreaking down video clips and unofficial stats from Puerto RicoThe hosts emphasize not reading too much into results against inferior competition, but the style, energy, and philosophy on display have everyone excited about the direction of the program.Plus, as always, plenty of basketball analysis from a game nobody actually watched, excitement about movement and spacing finally coming to Assembly Hall, and optimism about what this new era might bring.

Indiana basketball fans got a couple pieces of legit offseason news with the release of the non-conference schedule and the program's first recruiting commitment under Darren DeVries. This edition of Assembly Call Radio, with hosts Coach Tonsoni, Ryan Phillips, and Andy Bottoms, breaks down what these developments mean for the new era of Hoosier basketball.Segment 1: Hoosier Headlines [00:00:00 - 00:29:59]After months of roster construction and staff building, the schedule release brings fans one step closer to seeing if DeVries' vision can translate to wins on the court.The big news is Prince Alexander Moody's commitment - the program's first 2026 recruit who represents the "DeVries prototype": a 6'4" shooting guard who fits the system's emphasis on floor spacing and shooting ability. Other headlines covered include the completion of DeVries' coaching staff, Anthony Leal's denied waiver appeal (ending his college career), and the mic'd-up practice videos showing coaches emphasizing fundamentals like ball pressure defense and proper spacing. The segment closes with a heartfelt thank you to Leal for his contributions to the program.Segment 2: Non-Conference Schedule Analysis [00:30:00 - 00:54:59]The hosts break down Indiana's 11-game non-conference slate, identifying four major tests surrounded by seven more manageable opponents. The marquee games include:November 9th vs Marquette (Chicago) - Early season test against a well-coached programDecember 6th vs Louisville (Indianapolis) - Neutral site against a top-20 preseason teamDecember 13th at Kentucky - The big one everyone's been waiting for, back at Rupp ArenaNovember 25th vs Kansas State (home) - Protecting Assembly Hall against a Big 12 opponentBoth hosts project a 9-2 non-conference record, with the Kentucky road game being the most difficult challenge. They praise the regional appeal of the schedule, giving fans concrete games to look forward to attending or watching. The conversation includes early bracketology implications and how this schedule sets up better than previous years' efforts.Segment 3: Mailbag [00:55:00 - 01:37:02]The final segment tackles listener questions about overall record predictions and the challenge of connecting with an almost entirely new roster. The hosts project an 11-9 Big Ten record (20-11 overall), which should be good enough for tournament consideration.A thoughtful discussion emerges around a fan's question about feeling disconnected from the program due to constant roster turnover. The hosts acknowledge this is a real challenge in the transfer portal era and share their own strategies for dealing with it - focusing on the style of play rather than individual players, and waiting until the season starts to really invest emotionally in the roster.Jerod Morris joins late in the segment to add his perspective on the changing nature of college basketball fandom and how the off-season feels different now with so much roster uncertainty.Plus, as always, thoughts on staff completion, the challenge of maintaining fan engagement in college basketball's new landscape, and early excitement about a different brand of basketball coming to Assembly Hall.

This episode of The Assembly Call dives deep into IU's new basketball coach, Darian DeVries, analyzing his coaching philosophy and what fans can expect from this fresh start.We discuss the current roster changes with players entering the transfer portal and DeVries' approach to building his team. Throughout the conversation, we examine his coaching style, offensive and defensive strategies, and what this new era means for Indiana basketball.Among the topics discussed:- The mass exodus (for real this time!) of players to the transfer portal and why fans shouldn't panic about the rebuild under DeVries (10:45)- DeVries' philosophy on unselfish basketball and making "the one more pass" offers insights into his offensive approach that differs from previous coaches (36:00)- DeVries' track record of adapting to player personnel, highlighting his success at Drake and West Virginia despite injuries (42:00)- Jerod finally shows up to participate in an extensive discussion about the relationship between IU fans and the program, and how DeVries *might* be the coach to restore trust and enthusiasm (1:23:00)- Ryan returns to emphasize why hiring a true "college basketball guy" instead of an NBA coach is exactly what Indiana needed (1:53:00)Ultimately, the discussion centers around the reality that while results will ultimately determine DeVries' success, his coaching philosophy, basketball knowledge, and approach to team-building give IU fans legitimate reasons for optimism after years of disappointment.On the mics: Coach Tonsoni, Ryan Phillips, Andy Bottoms, and Jerod MorrisSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
