Indiana defeated Purdue 72-67 at Assembly Hall to earn Darian DeVries his first signature victory as Indiana's head coach and secure a crucial quad-one win for the Hoosiers' NCAA tournament resume. With the national championship football team honored before the game, Indiana jumped out to an 11-point halftime lead behind balanced scoring and relentless defense on Braden Smith, then survived a second-half offensive drought and several missed free throws to hold off Purdue's late charge and improve to 14-7 overall and 5-5 in Big Ten play.Jerod Morris, Andy Bottoms, Ryan Phillips, and Bob Moats break down the massive victory and what it means for the program:Connor Enright's 40-minute defensive masterpiece on Braden Smith (holding the All-American to 14 points on 14 shots with five assists and four turnovers) and his ice-cold three-pointer at 65-63 that ended a crucial offensive droughtHow Indiana won the first half with physicality, defensive intensity, and a 21-6 run over the final eight minutes featuring clutch buckets from Reed Bailey, Lamar Wilkerson, Tucker DeVries, and Josiah MilesNick Dorn's breakout continued with 18 points including eight straight in a critical second-half stretch, plus key drives that showed he's more than just a shooterWhy Indiana's ability to avoid fouling (only 15 team fouls, nobody with more than three) while forcing Purdue into 10 turnovers was the defensive blueprint they've needed all seasonThe second-half offensive struggles when Indiana went too conservative too early, missing three front-ends of one-and-ones while trying to run clock with five minutes leftWhat this win means for the program's trajectory—not just making the tournament this year, but showing what DeVries can do with the right roster construction as a strong 2026 recruiting class takes shapeTucker DeVries's toughness leading the game with 10 rebounds despite being held scoreless in the second half, and the critical contributions from role players like Miles, Sicily, and BaileyPlus, as always: the big moments you might have missed, stats that stood out, and our game ball and hustle award.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.

BONUS FLASHBACK EPISODELast year a largely unknown QB from Cal-Berkeley showed up in Bloomington to lead Indiana's offense in Year 2 of the Cignetti Era. One year later, that same QB is a household name across America... Fernando Mendoza.Shortly after arriving at IU, Fernando was kind enough to join the Hysterics for an in-depth conversation, touching on everything from his family and childhood, to his love of Star Wars, to why he chose to join his brother Alberto in playing for Coach Cig.It was impossible to predict at the time of this interview that Fernando would go on to win the Heisman Trophy as he and his teammates went undefeated, winning both the Big Ten and National Championships, and forever securing their place not just in the hearts of Hoosier nation, but amongst the greatest stories in the history of sports. After this conversation, however, it was very easy to understand that Fernando is an absolutely special human being... warm, funny, intelligent and inspiring... and someone we'd all be very proud to have represent Indiana University.If you prefer to watch this flashback episode, please visit @hoosierhysterics on Youtube.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 0:51 Indiana Football won a natty. We say again: Indiana Football won. A natty. The Ohio State fans are crying Signs, it's great! Putting this in context because there hasn't been a more surprising national champion in any sport? Maybe Leicester but IU had the worst W% historically of any champion. Arc of college football is the big schools consolidate their chances of winning—last time a new school entered the ring it was Florida, which represented a demographic shift. What does this mean? Not a secret sauce but IU built similarly to 2023 Michigan: a base of players who played together a long time and some elite pieces added. They get better ROI by ignoring HS recruiting, put a lot of time and money into scouting. Similarity to Dusty May in that Cig knows what he needs and scouts the hell out of the rest of the sport. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP] 2. Hot Takes and Men's Basketball vs Ohio State Starts at 27:20 Takes hotter than it's not outside. OSU game was annoyingly close. At one point Michigan was 2/16 from three and under 50% from the charity stripe. Biggest story of the game is the way Michigan held Bruce Thornton in check—the one hedge to center court that Mara got called for a foul was an awful call, but a proof of concept for how they defended OSU, which was to not give Thornton any space. Great Crisler crowd kept getting into highs and then a low-percentage event would derail, like their 17%-shooting big Christoph Tilly making a pair of threes (one a bank), 24%-shooting Amare Bynum making a deep contested jumper, and Mobley getting a bank three as shot clock is dying. Missed front ends made FT shooting feel extra annoying, somehow righted in the 2nd half. Big part of that was 21 good minutes from Trey McKenney. Liked Cason and McKenney more than Cadeau in this one: OSU has a 7'0" center and a 7'2" center but both of them are glued to the floor, which favors YOLO players. Annoying turnovers trying to figure out their zone. 3. Men's Basketball vs Indiana and a Nebraska Preview Starts at 54:03 Less annoying game, as Indiana was without Tayton Conerway for all but two minutes, and nobody else has the ability to get to the rim. IU couldn't even get the ball inside the three-point line. They finished 11/34 (32%) from three and that was because they made twice as many as they should have. IU only got five ORebs as they abandoned the glass to stop Michigan's transition game but terrible Nick Dorn shots that went off the back iron were their best way of getting the ball in the paint. Final score doesn't reflect the game because once Michigan got up 20-5 they put it in cruise control—this time it wasn't LJ Cason on the one drive for a layup. Will Tschetter's defense on Tucker DeVries was also a major factor. Nebrasketball is truly good. Very well-coached team, has a good system that turns everybody into Nebraska: 11th in taking threes, 6th in opponent 3PA/FGA. Have to slow down the game to protect stretch C Rienk Mask, who's the key to that offense. Might be without small four Braden Frager and been without SG Connor Essegian most of the year so there's a 23% shooting big in Berke "the Turk" Buyuktuncel that you can hide Mara on. The problem with that is it takes Mara out of the paint so you can't get away with playing as aggressively on the perimeter. Think we saw the prototype for how they want to play against Nebraska in that Oregon game. Might be able to do what Illinois did, was to take shots but then crash the glass because they don't have a lot of size. 4. Women's Basketball wsg Ira Weintraub Starts at 1:15:12 Time to get to know the best women's team in school history. Three losses were all similar: got way behind in the 1st quarter, fought their way back, came up short. Defense is fantastic, play the full court and cause a lot of turnovers which creates offensive opportunities. Get bogged down a bit in the half court and struggle to make their FTs. WBB officiating is beyond atrocious. Washington loss was a schedule thing after 2OT late game vs Oregon, but UConn and Vandy losses showed they can play with the elites and just need one more big basket from the super sophs. Hockeybear is blogging the team and making Team Sheets (key). It's not so easy is it? Super sophs: Holloway runs the offense and sets the defensive tone, Olson is a bucket, Swordsy is hero, and then they're getting a year from a growing Delfosse and UCLA transfer Dudley. Mostly a seven-woman rotation with Sofilkanich giving them some size inside, BQD a nightmare of a defensive pest, and then growth from Crockett who gives them some more size when they need it. Can they compete with the ELITE-elites? Nobody's unbeatable this year; Michigan is a solid two-seed, feel like floor is Sweet 16, has the make of a team that ends up losing a Final Four game en route to a big run next year.

Indiana knocked off Rutgers 82-59 on the road in Piscataway to snap a four-game losing streak and improve to 13-7 overall and 4-5 in Big Ten play. Tucker DeVries looked like himself again with 16 first-half points to set the tone, while Nick Dorn exploded for a career-high 23 points in his first start, and Lamar Wilkerson added 27 to pace a balanced offensive attack that shot 50% from the field in both halves.Jerod Morris, Ryan Phillips, and Andy Bottoms break down the much-needed victory and what it means heading into Tuesday's rivalry game against Purdue:How Tucker DeVries carried over his late-game momentum from Michigan and opened the game with back-to-back threes to give Indiana early control they never relinquishedNick Dorn's breakout performance hitting six threes and showing the confidence to take (and make) a crucial step-back three when Rutgers cut the lead to 12Why Indiana's patient half-court offense and willingness to attack the rim in key second-half moments—particularly drives by Tayton Conerway and Lamar Wilkerson—kept Rutgers from making a serious runSam Alexis's defensive dominance with six blocks and 10 rebounds that gave Indiana the rim protection they've been missingThe smart veteran decisions Indiana made throughout—only five turnovers, 15 fouls, and proper shot distribution with their three scorers taking 48 combined attemptsWhat this performance means for building momentum heading into a crucial stretch with Purdue at home followed by road games at UCLA and USCAn extended celebration of Indiana football's national championship and what it means for Hoosier fans who finally have their own championship story to tellPlus, as always: the big moments you might have missed, stats that stood out, and our game ball and hustle award.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 fell to third-ranked Michigan 86-72, extending their losing streak to four games and dropping the Hoosiers to 12-7 overall and 3-5 in Big Ten play. After falling behind 22-5 early without injured point guard Tayton Conerway and watching Tucker DeVries pick up two quick fouls, the Hoosiers never found their offensive rhythm against Michigan's size and defensive intensity, though they did show some fight late to cut a 24-point deficit to the final 14-point margin.Coach Tonsoni breaks down the loss solo and looks ahead to Rutgers:Why this team simply cannot go through 8-10 minute stretches scoring only four points against quality competition, and how those droughts continue to define their lossesThe roster construction issues that are becoming more apparent with each loss, particularly the lack of athletic drivers and post presence to attack good defensesTucker DeVries finally seeing shots fall late in the game after struggling for 30 minutes, and whether that can spark him moving forwardSam Alexis showing aggression and efficiency with 11 points in 19 minutes before fouling out, providing a glimpse of what Indiana needs from that positionReed Bailey's improved attack mentality driving to the rim, even if the finishing remains inconsistentCoach Tonsoni's measured approach to staying positive about the program's direction while acknowledging the deep frustration with how they're playing right nowWhy Friday's game at Rutgers feels critical for trying to end this streak before the Purdue rivalry game at Assembly HallPlus, as always: the big moments you might have missed, stats that stood out, and our game ball and hustle award.

Indiana handled Siena 81-60 to improve to 10-3 overall, closing out a solid non-conference slate before a 12-day break. The Hoosiers dominated the first half with a 46-20 lead behind intense defensive pressure, but struggled through the opening eight minutes of the second half before regaining control and pushing the lead back to 26 points.Coach Tonsoni, Ryan, and Andy break down a tale of two halves that featured excellent stretches mixed with concerning lapses, highlighting both the team's potential and persistent issues as they prepare for Big Ten play.Lamar Wilkerson's first-half dominance with 19 points showcased his expanded offensive game with shot fakes, drives, and playmaking ability.Tayton Conerway's second-half spark attacking the rim rescued Indiana from an eight-point drought to start the half.Nick Dorn's shooting surge since returning from injury gives Indiana crucial floor spacing as a legitimate three-point threat.The persistent fouling problem with 26 fouls called raises concerns about how this team will handle more athletic Big Ten opponents.Tucker DeVries' 11 rebounds and early post touches suggest potential tactical adjustments for facing bigger conference competition.Trent Sisley's limited nine minutes and the team's 11 assists against 13 turnovers highlight rotation questions and offensive flow issues.The 10-3 non-conference finish positions Indiana as a fringe tournament team (28th in KenPom) heading into a loaded Big Ten with seven top-25 teams.That's all 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 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 suffered its first loss of the season, falling 73-64 at Minnesota in the Big Ten opener as the Hoosiers struggled with execution and physicality throughout while shooting just 40% from the field, 29.6% from three, and a dismal 60% from the free throw line. A blocked dunk attempt by Tucker DeVries late in the first half shifted momentum to Minnesota, and despite multiple opportunities to seize control, Indiana looked unfocused and rattled on the road for the first time under Darian DeVries.Andy, Coach Tonsoni, and Ryan break down a disappointing performance where Indiana did many things poorly but still had chances to win, examining what went wrong and how this veteran team needs to respond against Louisville on Saturday.The blocked DeVries dunk that changed the game's complexion, followed by Indiana putting Minnesota on the free throw line five straight possessions while going scoreless themselvesTayton Conerway's team-high 18 points in just 23 minutes as the only player consistently creating his own shot, raising questions about extended bench timeThe fatal free throw shooting (12-20, including 3-10 to start the second half) when Indiana had Minnesota's bigs in deep foul troubleLamar Wilkerson's gutsy second-half stretch hitting a three, blocking a shot, and getting a steal despite being blocked at the rim multiple timesSam Alexis's strong performance (10 points, 5-7 shooting) compared to Reed Bailey's struggles, highlighting the ongoing center rotation questionsThe stagnant offense managing just eight assists while failing to sustain defensive intensity or execute despite various adjustments from DeVriesMinnesota controlling tempo and out-rebounding Indiana 40-25 while holding them to just three fast break pointsAll that and more on 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 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.

Indiana moved to 5-0 with a 73-53 victory over Lindenwood, but the sluggish, stagnant performance felt uncomfortably similar to some early-season struggles from years past until Tucker DeVries went nuclear in the second half.The Hoosiers gave up 48 rebounds including 17 offensive boards and couldn't maintain offensive flow without specific play calls from DeVries, raising questions about whether this team can sustain focus against inferior competition before Tuesday's test against Kansas State.Jerod, Andy, and Coach break down a game that revealed some concerning tendencies while also showing signs of maturity in how Indiana responded to adversity within the game.Tucker DeVries's second-half takeover where he scored 17 points in 16 minutes, including 13 points on five possessions, showcasing shot-making ability Indiana hasn't had in yearsSam Alexis's tone-setting performance with 10 rebounds and four blocks, bringing the physicality and energy that helped turn around a disastrous defensive rebounding effortThe critical timeout at 16:43 in the second half that sparked an immediate 16-3 run and showed this team's ability to refocus when things were getting uncomfortableLamar Wilkerson's defensive effort on a 4-16 shooting night, proving his offense didn't affect his defense and giving a glimpse of what kind of player he'll be when shots aren't fallingConor Enright's value as a non-shooter in Indiana's offense, with discussion about how to maximize a player who doesn't want to shoot but brings so much else to the tableThe offensive stagnation that plagued Indiana for long stretches, with too much standing around and one-on-one play until DeVries called specific sets to get players cutting and movingThe lingering question about Reed Bailey versus Sam Alexis and whether we'll see a change in the starting lineup or minutes distribution as competition increasesAll that and more on 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 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.

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.

The hosts emphasize how refreshing it is to see a coach embracing all aspects of the job after years of perceived resistance to community involvement.Discussion includes the release of the Big Ten's top 40 player rankings with Lamar Wilkerson checking in at 29th and expectations for Tucker DeVries to land in the top 15.

The hosts discuss how this team's depth could be a major asset with multiple players capable of contributing.The conversation takes several entertaining detours including Cowboys documentary discussions, predictions about future sports documentaries, and speculation about who would play Curt Cignetti in a hypothetical Indiana football movie. Throughout, there's underlying optimism about both programs heading into their respective seasons.Plus, as always, analysis of a trip none of them actually watched, excitement about finally seeing modern basketball concepts at Indiana, and the challenge of tempering expectations while embracing the obvious improvements in program culture and direction.

Some love him. Some hate him. Some love to hate him. Some hate to love him. He is never shy to share his opinion. And he is never boring. The co-owner and founder of The Field of 68, JEFF GOODMAN returns to the podcast. Jeff weighs in on what he perceives to be the historically weak class of 2026 and why so many top college coaches aren't on the recruiting circuit like they used to be.We also dig in on the current state of money in college basketball and how the balance of power continues to shift. Then, we take a deep dive on Coach Darian DeVries and what has impressed Jeff as he has gotten to know Coach DD better. We talk about why Coach DD can succeed where Woody and Archie failed before him. And we get into what his expectations are for Indiana this season and he gives us his off-season grade for IU.Controversial at times, but Jeff Goodman has given his 10,000 hours to the game of covering college basketball and we welcome his perspective to the show.In addition, I take some time to pay tribute to an IU legend, Bob Hammel, who passed away this week.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
For years he tormented IU fans with his sarcastic wit and blunt honesty as a national recruiting analyst for 247. But no one could question his knowledge, connections or insight. Then, he crossed the line from analyst to become the director of recruiting for Micah Shrewsberry at Penn State before following Micah to Notre Dame for the last two years. Today's guest is none other than BRIAN SNOW.In this week's episode Brian gives us his perspective on the current state of college basketball in the world of revenue sharing and the changing world of NIL. Brian breaks down which jobs might now be the best in the country and we talk about Indiana's place in the ever-changing landscape.Brian breaks down what it was like to recruit against Indiana and what the overall perception is of the Indiana program while also getting into specifics on why it just did not work with Archie and Woody and why it very well could with new head coach Darian DeVries. Brian is a guy who does not beat around the bush and calls it like he sees it. Some of which is VERY positive for IU and its future while he also brings up some areas of potential concern.It is a wide-ranging conversation that covers a lot of ground with a guy who has the unique experience of being a national analyst and also a guy who was in the trenches recruiting for a power 4 school. Sure, we love to bust his chops, but can't argue with the man's knowledge!

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.
