IU-Western Illinois Postgame Show: Al Durham Returns With a Bang

On Tuesday night, Indiana vanquished visiting Western Illinois 98-65. Al Durham returned to the lineup and sparked Indiana's offense early, and fellow junior Justin Smith was dominant around the basket in tying his career high in points. After the game, our crew broke it all down on The Assembly Call IU Postgame Show.

On the mics: Andy, Ryan, and Coach

Among the topics discussed:

— Al Durham's uber-efficient return to the lineup.
— Another confident and explosive performance from Justin Smith.
— More positives from Indiana's rock-solid freshmen.
— Rob Phinisee rebounded from a slow start to alleviate some concerns of IU fans.
— The positives and negatives of Joey Brunk's performance
— What to take out of Jerome Hunter's 16 minutes on the court.

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.
