  1. Yep crappy that small of a contract on a dude with that much power, and we can’t keep him. I bet he goes to an AL team and absolutely rakes.

    Are We Better Than Last Year?

    I agree with the premise of what Josh is saying. It is too early to tell one way or another. There are certain things on first glance that looks better. The defense really impressed me and as you all know we just haven’t started strong defensively the last few years. Offensively we all know. We have done some good things and horrible things. It’s a weird year in we have to work the kinks out playing teams like FSU and Butler. I honestly don’t know how we will react to this environment with no fans, two cupcakes, really no room for error. Some teams will handle this better than others. I honestly don’t know what to expect. We will see.

    Might have to after this Christmas. Those damn Barbies seem to be getting more expensive with each kid. Damn autocorrect before. The youngest stole my tv not sold it. Dad would probably have a minor stroke.

    Agreed. My main tv was just stole for Barbies. Thank goodness for ESPN+.

    Don’t worry you won’t kill it for me. I have a few games to go tonight and I will watch them all. This week has had some good ones to this point.

    Yessir I am. Getting caught up on randoms with the odd start time and amount of good games.

    Can’t wait to see what Kentucky is missing with Matt Haarms.

    Can’t wait for this Gonzaga v WVU game. Going to go with that one and St. John’s vs BYU.

    IU MVP vs Stanford

    I don’t think we win that game without those two. TJD was absolute beast and player of the game. Those two were huge for the win.

    IUBB vs Stanford - 12/2/20 @ 1:30 on ESPN

    Yep imagination is a great thing. Btw your math is off because we beat 2/3 real teams this week... So why don’t you try and quit using imaginary numbers that are only in your head to tell people they are imagining things off of the imaginary things in your head? Fair?

    IUBB vs Stanford - 12/2/20 @ 1:30 on ESPN

    I don’t want too say much more because every day you say something and then ***** at everyone else for putting words in your mouth. So to be fair I don’t give two sh..s tbh. If you want to feel our team plays like **** 50% of the time I don’t care. I really don’t, but you don’t realize how dumb that sounds when I am positive you played sports. Edit: The around 30 number was from his preconference wins. I mean we can assume if we won them they were all cupcakes. Or is that putting words in your mouth too? If so I might need a decoder to the point you were trying to make as any pushback will require you to come at me I am sure.

    IU MVP vs Stanford

    I sure as hell know more about Bruce Hornsby than I ever cared to. MVP? Stanford, they let us win. Very nice of them.

    Please, please, please let LSU win the conference only to get hammered.

    IUBB vs Stanford - 12/2/20 @ 1:30 on ESPN

    Well since we are working in extremes I guess we should throw out about 30 wins and say he would surely win half. I mean that’s logical. But hey you do you man. I am going to enjoy those two wins against non-cupcakes since it won’t ever happen again.

    IUBB vs Stanford - 12/2/20 @ 1:30 on ESPN

    Well I don’t try and fit myself into a pretzel to say someone is a bad coach 50% of the time. Especially at this level. That’s just asinine. You are better than that.

    IUBB vs Stanford - 12/2/20 @ 1:30 on ESPN

    Last night there were plenty of people to bring up how we have lost 20 games by 10+. That is actually the definition of 80/20 as he has coached 102 games. I am not defending what I saw yesterday, but come on 50/50? If we looked like that 50% of the time we wouldn’t win 10 games. We DO NOT look like we looked yesterday 50% of the time. The 20% of the time wanted is what it truly is but imo it should be less than 10% of the time. But in no way the way we played yesterday happens 50% of the time. That’s just a gross exaggeration based on personal beliefs of where we should be. If we want to get to where we want to be the 20% needs to be less than 10%. I can agree there if we are using realistic numbers. Edit: Pretty please stop going under screens, pressing when shots aren’t falling, find your All American early, and keep communicating on defense.

    3-1. I will take it. Glad the boys showed up. Glad Archie got up their @$$. Wonder if this is how it’s going to be in empty gyms all year.

    Well they said it would take years to learn. (Ducks and hides and not that I agree with that just being a smart @$$)

    IUBB vs Stanford - 12/2/20 @ 1:30 on ESPN

    Let’s finish this and leave 2-1 with 2 teams that should be around the tournament selection on a neutral.

    I feel like I am on acid listening to this. Wouldn’t be as bad if I had the hallucinations to go along with it.

    IUBB vs Stanford - 12/2/20 @ 1:30 on ESPN

    I honestly don’t understand why we have had so many players go under the screen. There is absolutely no coach that would ever coach that way on shooters. That is something you are taught from a very young age, and see on tv daily. I don’t get it.

    IUBB vs Stanford - 12/2/20 @ 1:30 on ESPN

    Definitely getting up into them mostly. Not a fan of Rob trying to go under screens on shooters. Just basic 101 defense. If it takes coaching to tell someone that at this level, I honestly don’t know what to say.

    Somebody better set the ******* alarm today.
  25. Man, I need to make up some points after yesterday. I in no way think IU is going to win today, especially without Al, but I need some catch-up points and some luck. IU - 67 Stanford - 66
