Whole beans are little fresher especially if you buy decent ones that are locally roasted. Stuhoo is insane if he’s roasting his own beans…lol. No need to go that far.

I’ll say that it’s impressive what Otzelbergers done with their offense. It’s went from horrible to mediocre to good while maintaining their stellar defense. You don’t often see that. Sign of a good coach, imo.

Agree. Thanks for the recap. Old peegs stuff makes sense; glad my memory still works…sometimes.

IU 76 UK 80

I would love the backstory here…lol. I *think* I remember you kind of promoting this place on Peegs (rivals version) back in the day. Agree the mods are great and the site is one of my favorites. I’m with others that if it is a financial issue, I’m will to pitch in (and I see the link in your sig).

What’s the record for made threes in the game?

Bailey looks so much more confident and energetic coming off the bench.

I can’t believe we lost to Minne-flipping-sota

Clemson is the king of almost getting it done and stepping on their Johnson right before the finish line.

I mean…I don’t really care, nor am I trying to call you out or anything. I don’t follow recruiting and have no predictions—only expectations. Getting to the tourney is a “meet expectations” for me based on what other coaches in his position have done. But I will say if we’re a play-in type bubble team à la 2/4 of Woodys years it’s more of a “barely passes” by the slimmest of margins. Just my opinion based on NIL and the current landscape of college ball.

They’ll shoot until they make it on some possessions.

Typically 12 seeds are playin games/bubble teams for major confs. An 8 seed would put Devries ahead of Calipari and Kelsey last year. Hardly anything to get up in arms about.

If they’re squarely in the tournament are you going to admit you were wrong?

Clemson pulling another Clemson.

A key thing to take from that is that there is estimated another 20 schools in the 7-9mil range. So that’s 30 schools within a couple mil of each other. From there it’s all about evaluation and more importantly returning stars. Guys like Braden Smith are making a little less than if a school like UK or IU would’ve paid them in the open market. Having key returning players is probably worth a mil or so. So right there you have a top 30. That doesn’t even get into schools like Wisconsin that are miracle workers on a budget.
