*** Official #10 IOWA STATE vs #1 Purdue Game(Day) Thread ***

[jcf817]

First half thoughts:

The stage doesn’t seem too big for these guys
We might have all the pieces in place
I like Buchanan better than Cluff

 

[inCyteful]

Lipsey either not 100% or just not pushing it, which is fine. Very nice to have several other options to create a shot.

If Nelson could be under just a bit more control, look out.

 

[NWICY]

Great 1st half!!!

 

[Lineup]

they are playing great

 

[JP4CY]

Purdue/Mackey are very capable of a quick 7-0/13-2 run at the beginning of this second half.

Can't allow that.

Turns out appearances were correct: ISU has a 20-17 rebounding advantage at the half.

Pretty sloppy otherwise, so leading by a 4-that-coulda-been-7 is ******* awesome.

 

[Erik4Cy]

Very sloppy. Cut out the turnovers and ISU has a shot. Feels like a March game indeed.

Purdue will go on a run somewhere, they're just too good not to. ISU just needs to make sure it's like a 5 or 7 point run and not a 14 point one.

That open 3 at the end would've been huge, but I'll take +4 at half.

Yeah. I dont feel we should be winning this right now. Thrilled.

Purdue will shoot the 3 much better in the second half. We need to cut down on TOs and run the offense through Jefferson. Purdue is gonna punch hard and we better be ready.

Yup. Just keep playing aggressively and we’ll be in this right till the end

 

[DRH]

Half time show and they open with Jefferson turnovers and immediately start drooling over smith.

I think of him just more for leading the team, not necessarily making all the plays. Might not be enough but I'm glad to have on the floor.

 

[trevn]

Good not great half and we are up. I’ll take it. Cleaning up turnovers is a biggie. Expect Purdue to hit some more 3s this half too. They had some looks that didn’t fall.

 

[indycyclone]

Crowd here is getting very chippy with the refs

 

[Lineup]

this might be the best team ever

 

[inCyteful]

Can't even complain too much about officiating, but I plan to in 2nd half.

The stripes will never get a free pass from me, they should all be investigated.

Whiney b!tches

If Arizona had a big ten patch on the jersey they’d be wire to wire #1. So much love for a league who hasn’t shown much in a quarter century.

Imagine if big ten was 11-2 against sec…big 12 actually is.
