[AC] Special Edition: Mike DeCourcy on IU and the Big Ten's Up-and-Down Start
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.
When our paying subscribers ask us to do something, we do whatever we can to fulfill that request.
So when
asked for Mike DeCourcy to return to the AC airwaves, I reached out to him immediately to set it up. And because Mike is just that kind of awesome guy, we had a time booked within minutes: Friday, December 15th, at 10 a.m. ET.If only everything was that easy!
We’re very excited to welcome Mike back for this conversation, which will focus on a few topics you could probably guess:
What does he think of IU’s play so far this season, and their potential for improvement?
What does he make of the Big Ten’s overall struggles in non-conference play?
Is he seeing anything different from the Big Ten’s one true elite team, Purdue?
And we’ll take an audience question or two.
If you can’t attend live, no worries. The replay will be immediately available on the BHN YouTube channel, and I’ll publish the audio in our podcast feed too.
Watch live on our YouTube channel below. (Open the link in YouTube to to see a replay of the ChatMob alongside the show.)

Awesome show, Jerod! Really appreciate Mike’s very knowledgeable insights!
@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.
