Join us on Friday morning for a bonus edition of The Assembly Call. Jerod will be joined by Mike DeCourcy from BTN and The Sporting News to discuss IU and the Big Ten.
@Jerod thank you for doing this podcast. Mike not only provides great insights, but he has so much history with college basketball and the Big. I hadn't thought about the impact on the league of losing the ACC challenge but it makes sense that we just didn't have as many opportunities to show the strength of the league this year and that will likely cost us some spots. Mike did a better job of talking about IU's challenging schedule than I have been doing. I know people are clamoring for us to play all these top schools but as Mike pointed out we are not really good enough to hang with those teams right now. Finally, Mike's observations on the impact that X is having on the team. Not just his loss but the impact on rotations and how Gabe is having to be used. Thanks again.
Also, wondering...for the AC team or for Mike, is there a relationship between a (statistically) less-competitive B1O this year and our conference’s performance in the NCAA Tournament or is that just a coincidence?
Awesome show, Jerod! Really appreciate Mike’s very knowledgeable insights!
