Right, Kopp was 40 percent from the arc coming into this game though, but bad all around on 2-Pt FG’s

Dakich…

Seriously the idea we lost bc we “didn’t try” is ridiculous. That’s right, our guys who lost after being up 22 didn’t try. Dude, your negativity has you blind. Then when our guys come back, on the road, and force double OT (golly, still not trying), your take on that is newsflash, it’s easier to win if you don’t get “blown out” in a half. Hello, besides being directly contradictory and pointedly ignoring a road game at Cuse — and at Wisconsin where we haven’t won in 18 years (i guess 18 years of not trying), you ignore that that’s itself a testament to both adjustments made and the team’s fight and they had several chances to win but didn’t execute. You’ll never be happy, everything is negative about the team for you and if others don’t despair and see a lack of effort in extremely close road lossed they’re sunshine pumpers. Ok sure, lol.

How is a double OT loss by 1 basket a blow out? Are you sober lol. And lack of effort when you’re up 22 in the 1st half?? Trippin

I think you’re overthinking it - all good though lol

But they’re not separate. It’s a continuation, he says before it’s all said and done he’ll become one of the top college coaches - not all time greats, college coaches, as in it was the right choice for IU

But you know, our 3 losses this season are all road games, in double OT, and then the next 2 by a total combined 8 points. It wasn’t inconsistent effort. Agree the team needs to come out again and take care of business ag Minn etc, but we’re not seeing the same breakdowns as last season, apples and oranges.

It's been posted on here a few times, at least when it was posted, when the lineups were compared those with both Rob and X on the floor together were the most efficient -- they play well together, and the team has played well with both of them, as opposed to just one of them, on the floor. I haven't seen recent game lineup comparisons, but it good info when posted. Edit -- just saw that was an older post, DWB, but would be interesting to see if this remains the case through today on game lineup comparisons

The replies are kind of entertaining: Merritt @MerrittIUfan82 · 20h Replying to @GoodmanHoops @Jumpshot8 and 2 others They lost 3 road games. Which hundreds of past college teams who've gone on to make the NCAA tournament, and did well, have done. Your comment provides zero incite to anything other than your disdain for Indiana basketball. Kale Glynn @Farm_Lift · 19h Replying to @GoodmanHoops @Jumpshot8 and 2 others Man, you guys want to see him and Indiana fail. austin vonn grissom @VaughnAusten · 18h Jeff’s parents failed him- Siblings should never reproduce- bless his little heart IU looks like they should or could have won every game with a new coach and 3 new players on the team who are also starters - I would say so far so good - plus STRONG first year recruit class

LOL every time I open the site and click to one of the threads the pop-up add is now for Stumptown Coffee

Naah, it's just bad :) And I know a couple barristas in a local coffee shop, they literally laugh at people who buy Americanos lol. Yeah the process provides better coffee for the mix, but 1/3 to 2/3?? Horrible, watered down flavor...

^^ Agree, but also as well as we turned our D into O to power through the second half into a very convincing W, we only shot 15 from the Arc, and went 2-15 from the Arc. Not good. Overall we shot 25 of 61 FG's, inside play dominated. OSU by comparison shot 27 from outside and went 8-27. We still need to use our outside game, really need to improve the inside-out play, without it we remain exposed, we can't be shooting threes at the bottom of the conference.

So, to make an Americano -- it's just water and espresso -- it's not essentially the base, it's a watered down espresso! It's either 1/2 and 1/2, or 1/3 espresso and 2/3 water. It's awful (to me).

Yeah back when I didn't know better I'd occasionally order one but it always tasted awful -- as diluted espresso, it's a little different than an ordinary drip cup, right? I mean, it just tastes bad. And yeah, charging more for it is a total scam

That's kind of divine providence, right...

I've never understood the why behind an Americano, or anyone liking it. It's just watered down -- diluted coffee/espresso.... Ugh

Yeah I have that nespresso, it's not bad

Run from Starbucks. Run away as fast as you can

Oh crap we may be married to the same woman.

Yeah I put my beans in a sealed container -- standard air-tight coffee container, beats a ziplock bag!

OK you win

Side note, years ago, back in the 90s, my wife and I lived in KC right around the corner from a Folgers factory -- Imagine walking out your door and being engulfed in the aroma of coffee -- it was like putting your nose into a coffee can, just walking down the street, and man it smelled good. Probably when I became a full on coffee addict lol

Endeavor to persevere :)

Yeah roast to cup, and quality of the grinder matter big time. But the oils added change the taste (God help us all on Starbucks lol, horrible). Have you tried Stumptown, their beans are well-sourced and excellent all around.

Awesome, more types and sources of beans and more ways to make them, now this is a thread I will read anytime it's updated! I go back and forth between a French press and percolating -- old school percolator still makes great coffee, all about how long you brew it and the amount of ground coffee to your taste. Going to have to check out lavelacoffee.com. I buy direct from Stumptown - https://www.stumptowncoffee.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqPXJ3fGf9QIV1hvUAR3-iAugEAAYASAAEgIfI_D_BwE - haven't found a coffee with a better aroma, no oils, beans are just excellent.
