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 losses
Plus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions. That's all in this edition of The Assembly Call.

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.

After building some momentum with five straight wins against lesser competition, Indiana's progress was severely undermined by another road collapse that raised familiar questions about the program's direction under Woodson.

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.

The victory, combined with Thursday's win over Rutgers, gives Indiana consecutive complete performances to build upon as they look to establish themselves as legitimate contenders in the Big Ten race.

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:

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.

With Big Ten play resuming against Rutgers in just a few days, the performance raised serious questions about whether Indiana can find the consistent effort and cohesive play needed to compete at a higher level in conference play.

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.

The show also included a touching tribute to Indiana basketball legend Dick Van Arsdale, who passed away earlier in the week, providing some important perspective on a day when the Hoosier community was processing both the basketball team's uneven performance and the football team's tough loss to Notre Dame in their bowl game the previous evening.

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:

Indiana defeated South Carolina 87-71 to improve to 3-0 on the season, led by Myles Rice's impressive 23-point performance.
The Hoosiers got off to a strong 17-4 start and maintained control throughout, though South Carolina did trim the lead to 8 late before IU pulled away. Despite a relatively quiet offensive night from big men Malik Reneau and Oumar Ballo, Indiana's guard play and defensive pressure proved to be the difference makers.
Key Storylines:
Banner Moment: Early sequence where Kanaan Carlyle found Myles Rice for a catch-and-shoot three, sandwiched between two fast break conversionsGuard Play: Strong ball pressure defensively and excellent transition offense set the tone, with guards dictating pace throughoutPost Play: Ballo (7 pts, 13 reb, 6 blocks) and Reneau struggled with back-to-basket offense but were effective in other areasThree-Point Shooting: Indiana shot 8-17 (47.1%) from three-point rangeFree Throw Shooting: Strong 81.8% (27-33) from the line as a teamPlus: meaningful moments, key stats, game balls, and the hustle award.

Indiana defeated Marian on Friday night in Pat Knight's return to Assembly Hall. The Knights were no match for Indiana's size and athleticism, but there were still some interesting takeaways from the Hoosiers' final preseason tuneup.
With Coach and Ryan on the mic (and a drop-in from Jerod midway through), we highlight the Banner Moment, key storylines, meaningful moments, and important stats from this game -- including Jakai Newton's long-awaited debut, the strong play of Indiana's bench, and many more moments from Myles Rice that have IU fans excited about their new point guard.

On Sunday afternoon, Indiana traveled to Knoxville for a charity exhibition against the Tennessee Volunteers. The Hoosiers were without Trey Galloway, Jakai Newton, and Bryson Tucker, but the remaining Hoosiers were able to eke out a comeback victory in both teams' first non-scrimmage public performance.
Indiana was led by newcomer Myles Rice and veteran Malik Reneau, and we got our first-look at several other Hoosiers. How did the new-look offense look? How did the defense look? We convened an exhibition edition of The Assembly Call immediately following the game.
