‘He wants to be great’: Xavier Johnson leads Indiana men’s basketball to 74-64 win over Maryland

Over Indiana men’s basketball’s last three games, Xavier Johnson had 10 assists to 15 turnovers. He only scored over 10 points once, scoring 16 points against Ohio State while picking up six turnovers in Indiana’s 80-69 overtime loss.

Fans took to social media to express their frustration after the game, accusing Johnson of playing being too reckless on offense. It’s criticism that Johnson admits that he’s taken a look at even though his head coach tells him he shouldn’t.

“I see a lot of what a lot of people say,” Johnson said in a postgame press conference Thursday.
