IU-Illinois Postgame Show: Not Enough Trayce and Too Many Defensive Breakdowns

On Sunday afternoon, Indiana fell short in Champaign to the Fighting Illini. It was one of the Indiana's best road performances of the season, but it wasn't enough to earn the win thanks to not quite enough Trayce Jackson-Davis and too much unimpeded dribble penetration for Illinois.

After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show.

On the mics: Jerod and Ryan

Among the topics discussed:

— The timely, aggressive playmaking of Al Durham.
— Why the officials were a legitimate storyline down the stretch.
— Trayce Jackson-Davis was good ... but not good or prolific enough for Indiana to win on the road.
— What are we to make of these performances from Devonte and Rob?
— The struggles of Indiana's defense to contain Illinois dribblers.
— The importance of Indiana's final two home games down the stretch, and why the real shame of today's game is that Indiana didn't give itself more chances like this on the road.

We also point out a few meaningful moments you may have missed, go inside the numbers, and hand out our game balls. All of that, and more, on this edition of The Assembly Call.
