NCHoosier32 Posted March 14, 2024 Report Posted March 14, 2024 I am really ready for a game! I was actually feeling optimistic about winning these first two rounds. Then my terrible memory made me look up the results of our first two games vs PSU. Then I was thinking given the choice, I'd rather be missing X than Galloway. Now I'm bummed, but still excited for an IU bball game.

IU Scott Posted March 14, 2024 Report Posted March 14, 2024 Everything depends if Galloway can play effectively if at all.

Parakeet Jones Posted March 14, 2024 Report Posted March 14, 2024 I feel pretty confident about this one. If Galloway can't go, I still think we pull it out but my confidence would drop.

IU lost by 14 and 9 to them with Gallo playing 36 and 34 minutes. It's more about whether XJ decides to show up against Baldwin. In two games against IU he had 45 points and 17 assists. They scored 85 and 83. IU has scored over 80 once in the B1G, a win over MD.
BobSaccamanno Posted March 14, 2024 Report Posted March 14, 2024 IU’s guards aren’t good enough and there’s not much we can do about it as that was determined in last year’s lackluster offseason. It is exacerbated if TG is limited or out as he’s the one good guard. It is a head scratcher but the one thing you might do is bring Leal’s minutes way up and Cupps’ way down. Maybe even try Gunn again in lieu of Cupps. XJ is a sixth year guy. He gives you a chance to manipulate the rotation. I like Cupps. He shows flashes with shooting, defense, and getting into the lane. Those flashes, even though somewhat isolated, indicate potential that he can someday be a good player in all those facets. However, if you look at his high total number of minutes, his production in terms of assists, scoring, rebounding, etc may be a record in terms of being empty. It’s not his fault, because he shouldn’t be playing those kinds of minutes at this stage. But with XJ out there, this is an opportunity to get other guys on the floor to try to get better production and less empty guard minutes, with or without Trey. 2
iuthruandthru Posted March 14, 2024 Report Posted March 14, 2024 If Galloway is out he is our spark plug and general. Unless good XJ shows up I think we lose unfortunately. He has been that important during the 4 game run. We need good XJ to show up but Trey plays fast and when XJ plays fast usually bad things happen.
bronkonagurski Posted March 14, 2024 Report Posted March 14, 2024 I think having X for this game is huge, simply for his ability to defend. That is something we missed in the two regular season matchups. 1
KDB Posted March 14, 2024 Report Posted March 14, 2024 4 in a row has me believing in a possible run. Hope Galloway is good to go, we need him. LETS MAKE SOME NOISE! 2

Please keep the turnovers down and get this win. 4
