[AC] IU-UNGC Postgame Show
Join us immediately following Indiana's final tune-up before the Battle 4 Atlantis as we break down the Hoosiers' performance against UNC Greensboro.
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 spark
Myles Rice's strong overall game (20 points, 6 assists) but heavy 35-minute workload
Defensive rebounding issues allowing 17 offensive boards to a smaller UNCG team
Continued low 3-point attempt volume despite preseason emphasis on increasing perimeter shots
Bench rotation challenges and finding the right lineup combinations
Growing importance of upcoming Louisville game and Battle 4 Atlantis tournament for NCAA resume
