X was astonishingly bad today. But yes, IU did win. I have no idea how. Ware, I guess.
Say what you want about X

But we don’t win without him today
That is absolutely hilarious. No chance that is correct. X was much more of a net negative than positive today.
So which guard was going to take his minutes today and keep us from losing? Gunn? Banks?
Cupps should have played most of his minutes. X was terrible and stupid again.
Played great d stopping the ball. Some bad passes but some good ones too. Huge three.
Cupps fouls shooters and gets burned. His d is way worse than Xs O
Cupps was bad as well. Walker was eating him alive. And even though X made some bad passes, I’d rather have a guy that can make a few plays to give you a chance. And guard somebody.
He was terrible. I guess he was able to take IU from up 16 to winning by 1 successfully.
He wasn’t great. Wouldn’t even argue he was good. I’d repeat that we don’t win without him.
I have a suspicion about you
4-0 since his return. Cupps is not ready for this. X plays bad sometimes but adds a lot in his floor general presence. No chance Cupps does that today.
Totally disagree on the win part. I have a suspicion about you as well. Have for a while. I'd love to know yours of me though.
His on ball pressure has been the most important. It's been pretty consistent. The other stuff? Hit and miss
Yeah, no. We already know we disagree though on all things Cupps, but maybe on all things X as well.
For sure, he is the only guard on the team that stays with his man. Leal’s ankles were scattered around the court today.
You are correct about X being bad today, but you really wanted to see a cupps and Leal combo? Tyson Walker would’ve carved that up.
Yes. X was terrible. Cupps would have been better. But it's pretty clear this team doesn't function very well without Galloway.
X is our best guard defender by a mile
He'll have good games and terrible games. I just think he was pretty terrible today.
Tough game today. Worked out okay. I’m not arguing just hoping he clicks in Minny.
Collectively, we have to have the worst guards in the Big 10. Without Galloway, it’s amazingly bad. X brings something that Cupps can’t, but is way too often a train wreck on offense. Leal is a very below average defender. It’s truly amazing the Wood man thought this would work out.
One good game in the 4. Completely p
And its funny no mention of a blown wide open layup and an airball 3 and 5 passes to no one or directly to State. Of those turnovers 4 turned into points for State. In the 4 game win streak he had 1, one, "good" game. We win in spite of him when we do.
He struggled with turnovers and some bad decisions offensively but his defense was generally good
Not to mention him jumping around like a crazy person after he thought Hoggard carried the ball only to have to then foul him because of those antics. And that was towards the end of the game. It was an important play that cost IU, fortunately didn't cost them the game though.
X is pretty solid defensively when he has his head on straight. His head is on straight maybe 50% of the time.
The airball 3 I put on his elbow still bothering him. The rest yeah was frustrating "bad X" play.
I love a win, never said otherwise. Happy with 4 in a row. Love at least 4 more. My complaint has been with one player. My opinion is he hurts IU more than he helps and has been a bad example on and off the court. And it is well with my soul. Sorry to disappoint you.
