Welcome to another edition of 6-Banner Sunday, a joint production between The Assembly Call and Inside the Hall, and presented by our friends at Trueblood Real Estate, where we highlight the five most essential IU basketball stories of the past week, plus take a look at how the other IU sports programs are doing.

Indiana is not a state that ever sees Hurricanes but they were taken out by a couple of them this week. Both the men’s and women’s basketball seasons ended abruptly last Sunday and Monday night to Miami in unexpected fashion.

Also, Assembly Call and Inside the Hall had new shows this week. We will as usual conclude with a look at how other IU sports are doing, led by success on the diamond.

In brief news, former coach Bob Knight’s team manager Dusty May has taken Florida Atlantic on a Cinderella run to the Final Four.
