We're gonna need Mack to play with 2 fouls sooner than with 4-5 mins left in the half, I think. -

Ridiculous call. He can't get in foul trouble tonight. Loyer on Mgbako is straight up BBQ chicken. -

Can see this game going any number of ways... Need Ware and Reneau to do what they do and get big games out of X, Gallo, and Mgbako. In other words... if everyone plays well, we should have a chance. Lol. I'll be here with my hot takes all day -

The cheapest single ticket for tomorrow that I see on Seat Geek is section 8 row 36 for $89 before fees. Section D row 27 at $180 before fees or section C row 38 row $157 before fees also look like they have "good" or "great" value scores... not cheap tix obviously. But these look like the best deals I could see FWIW -

I've said I like Gallo at the 1 as of right now previously, but in this game we really do need XJ to play well and do his thing on both sides of the ball. Everyone's got to bring their best for this one. Of the two games this week, I feel better about Purdue at home... Woody normally has them prepared for these guys. Not sure if we win but do expect and think we'll play hard. We can't get the KU game back but would be nice to get a win this time. I'm sure the energy will be through the roof! -
I personally agree with Gallo as the PG. I like XJ better off ball and ideally I'd like to see him come off the bench until he starts playing better. i would like to see Gunn get some run with the starting unit to try and help his confidence, but unlikely to happen. We have no backcourt depth, we need XJ to play some quality minutes.

Regardless of how you feel about X (his play, his attitude... I am not his biggest fan necessarily/don't love everything about the guy either)... the bottom line is very simple. For this team to make the tournament, we need Xavier Johnson to play a key role. What that role looks like we all certainly have different ideas, but we can't afford for him not to play a significant amount of minutes with our current backcourt options. Root for him. Root for the team. Or don't, if you like being miserable I guess lol. Some really do enjoy having something to complain about more than a team to support.
