You are wrong if you think he doesn't change this team. Not an excuse for how bad we have been, but Id bet we are dancing with X healthy all year. Run the table fellas.

Every IU fan watching this game is thinking that same thing. It’s what hurts.You are wrong if you think he doesn't change this team. Not an excuse for how bad we have been, but Id bet we are dancing with X healthy all year. Run the table fellas.
No they aren’t. They are still convinced that X makes no difference but plus 28 since that run says different.Every IU fan watching this game is thinking that same thing. It’s what hurts.
If true, we are living amongst idiots. X makes a serious difference in the whole personality of this team. He a Gallo are actually a pretty formidable backcourt after all.No they aren’t. They are still convinced that X makes no difference but plus 28 since that run says different.
It stands to reason that a 6th yr/ 24 yr old PG would have more game than an 18 yr old kid straight outta high school.
It's true. Lots of X hate in the premie game thread, at least early in the game. 😂If true, we are living amongst idiots. X makes a serious difference in the whole personality of this team. He a Gallo are actually a pretty formidable backcourt after all.
I think one of the big criticisms with Woodson was how he bet everything on having a healthy X. He should’ve approached the portal last summer with finding a good and experienced plan B. Instead, he leaves an open scholarship and his judgment was poor.You are wrong if you think he doesn't change this team.

X was not playing all that well before he got injured the first time.You are wrong if you think he doesn't change this team. Not an excuse for how bad we have been, but Id bet we are dancing with X healthy all year. Run the table fellas.
You love the guy and I get it. He does make a difference but I think the play of MM was huge today.You are wrong if you think he doesn't change this team. Not an excuse for how bad we have been, but Id bet we are dancing with X healthy all year. Run the table fellas.
Unfortunately,, during his time in Indiana, the only 2 things that’s been consistent about X is his inconsistency and poor decision-making.Good X is dangerous. Unfortunately he’s never been consistent.
X averaged 15.5 pts and 4.5 assists as a freshman. The injuries have been unfortunate. Gabe may not score 15 pts or have over 4 assists in a single game in his career.It stands to reason that a 6th yr/ 24 yr old PG would have more game than an 18 yr old kid straight outta high school.
You may be right. As you point out, still can make the tourney by going on a run. Let's do something we have never done and win the BTT. Defense is suspect and hot damn our turnovers kill us.You are wrong if you think he doesn't change this team.

Yes. He was the 3 with Leal at the 2 on some sets. It was interesting to see.The final portion of the game had Gallo handling the ball with X playing off ball. Very effective. I was mostly listening and not watching while the 2nd half comeback was happening. Was IU’s offense generally starting with Gallo holding the ball and creating with X off the ball? If so, thats a nice successful adjustment.
They can play some great defense in some stretches.You may be right. As you point out, still can make the tourney by going on a run. Let's do something we have never done and win the BTT. Defense is suspect and hot damn our turnovers kill us.
Or injured. He has played this way like 10% of the time the past couple of years. Consistency is everything.When u get good X, he makes us better. He is just Jekyll and Hyde most of the time
Stay away from the crack pipe.Throw in Knecht and this is a top 5 team that's first in the Big Ten.
Even X admitted in his after-game interview that he makes head-shaking decisions with the ball. That being said, today was a good day with him on the court, and we won because he helped speed up the game. I saw flashes of GC being a good court general today, so I think he'll be okay once he gets more experience and muscle.You are wrong if you think he doesn't change this team.

Ran a couple of sequential screens for Gallo that were works of art. The PnRs were stellar with he and ware.The final portion of the game had Gallo handling the ball with X playing off ball.

That’s zoom. Those lob/floaters are open almost 100% of the time. They also screen the outlet shooter on the weak side or screen for mm off of it too. Lots of options if it’s run correctly. It also depends on how it’s defended.Ran a couple of sequential screens for Gallo that were works of art. The PnRs were stellar with he and ware.
Cupps is a very good defender for his size and experience but he got smoked in the lane a couple of times by young and he had to sit.
Gabe is going to be very good.Even X admitted in his after-game interview that he makes head-shaking decisions with the ball.

MM is not interested or prepared to get to the rim so getting him looks on the perimeter is key for the balance of the season IMOThat’s zoom. Those lob/floaters are open almost 100% of the time.

Newton was a plan but he is hurtThis season and last were underachieved since Woodson had no back up for X.
He's not physically ready. Some guys need extra time. Gabe in a perfect world would have been a great redshirt candidate.Gabe is going to be very good.
"Should have" versus tried and couldn't get the guy(s) are two different things. IMO negative fanbase is always a negative. And NIL $ can't overcome it when "all other things are equal."I think one of the big criticisms with Woodson was how he bet everything on having a healthy X.

Agree, but a "player of the year x 2) to play with changes that role. Just sayingHe's better than Cupps.
But how good is Maryland really ?
He's not as good as that Smith kid in W.L..
I'll stand by that.
I thought we just went threw this..
Two game winning streak late in the season. ..
And now everyone gets giddy.
Win the BTT and go dancing..I'd probably buy in..
