Beating K-State is Imperative

[DoctorV]

Muggsys covfefe rant really is exactly what I needed this morning.

I’m over here staring at my Nespresso machine wondering who I can con it off on as a Christmas gift so I can pick up a pour over setup.

Muggsy any recommendations on what I should go with next?

I just had a nespresso pod with froth this morning. Pretty good, but a nice pour over always wins. I'll save that for the afternoon hit. At least we can mail the pods back and they "recycle" them

I  have a Hario ceramic dripper which cost $16.  I think the newest model is the Hario 60.  Chemex is fine as well but I think ceramic retains the heat much better. 

I for the most part only drink prime-time, quality coffee Dr. V.  Usually 100% Pure Kona Peaberry or Estate because I have a close friend with a home there.  On a rare occasion I will make Turkish coffee which is quite strong and there's a bit of an art to the process.  So I have a drip maker, French Press, pour over, and a Turkish Ibrik. 

As for prime-time coffee and the best brew I actually think the pour over is  infinitesimally better than the French Press but with a caveat:  The French Press is a better value because you can steep the beans longer.  So my Kona beans when I use  a French Press basically last me twice as long as they would with a drip machine. 

You are forgiven Dr. V for your Nespresso monstrosity but get rid of that freaking thing ASAP.

K-State down 17-8 vs the Shockers.  This will likely be the worst team in the B12.

Might just be a tad premature on that statement.

He's just waiting for his pour over coffee to finish blooming.

If you're not blooming your grounds, you might as well be drinking bean tea.

I fertilize my grounds.

K-State struggles to score/shoot.

K-State struggles to score/shoot.

K state stinks which is why it is imperative to win this game. Muggsy is right.

[MU82]

After tonight's game, Kansas State fans will be saying it's imperative that they beat a Marquette team that doesn't shoot or rebound very well.

[MuggsyB]

Ok.St may be worse than Kansas St.

ESPN college hoops announcers for the most part are atrocious.  The players and fans deserve better.

This was the first game of a tough December schedule. Most of us agreed 3-3 would be a successful month. We can pretty much assume the UCLA game will be an “L”. So Theoretically we still have a one game cushion.

Let’s revisit Jan. 1st and see how we’re all feeling

[MuggsyB]

Good closing mins for KSU.  They do have a few guys with bounce and play physical defense.  It's still a game we must usurp.

They were 5.5pt dogs in this game. They've played well.

[MuggsyB]

They've shot 34%

[rocky_warrior]

They've shot 34%

So you're saying they'll barely keep up with Marquette's scoring %? lol

edit:  If you really want to compare them to us, at this point in the season, their defense numbers are better than MU, and their adjusted offense numbers are worse..  If you resort to percentages, we shoot 2s at a better %, they shoot 3s at a better %.  They defend 3's really well.

ESPN analyst " I'm not saying Etienne is Steph Curry but......"

LOL.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Kansas State with an impressive win at Wichita State.

[MuggsyB]

It's time for us to step it up.  Excellent opportunity for MU to get back on track and then ya never know about UCLA after a long lay-off.

They'll be well rested.....

[Ardmore Mug]

...or they might be rusty ! ! !

And rusty.  It may very well help MU and they are capable of brick city.
