The Assembly Call IU Basketball Podcast and Postgame Show

Indiana continued its late-season resurgence with an 83-78 victory over Penn State, marking their third win in four games and improving to 17-11 (8-9 in Big Ten play).

Despite playing without Malik Reneau (out with the flu), the Hoosiers delivered an offensive masterclass with 24 assists on 29 made field goals and shot a blistering 10-for-15 from beyond the arc.

Trey Galloway stepped up in crucial moments, knocking down clutch three-pointers when Penn State had taken a late lead, finishing with 16 points and 9 assists. Meanwhile, Oumar Ballo delivered a stellar performance filling in for Reneau with 20 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists in extended minutes. Myles Rice provided a second-half spark with 11 of his 13 points after intermission, including timely threes that helped seal the victory.

Key topics analyzed:

• Indiana's exceptional ball movement and offensive execution (24 assists on 29 made baskets)
• The team's revamped lineup featuring more minutes for Anthony Leal and Luke Goode continuing to pay dividends
• Trey Galloway's clutch three-pointers that swung momentum back to Indiana in the closing minutes
• Oumar Ballo's dominant interior presence stepping up with Malik Reneau sidelined
• Indiana's continued NCAA Tournament hopes remaining alive with another must-win victory
• Defensive concerns despite the win, as Penn State shot nearly 53% from the field
