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

Other than a two minute stretch in the first half where we turned it over every possession there’s nothing at all to complain about. It was just a very well executed plan. Buchanan stepped up, Nelson had a nice stretch, guys were just good. Very pleased and we should move up a good 5-6 spots.

Was an incredible game and effort by this team. Milan looked awesome. I thought Blake Buchanan really looked good. I’m so happy to see his development this far. He did a lot of little things today like getting much needed rebounds on the offensive glass. He also played great defense.
Great game from Buchanan.

12 points on 6 of 9 shooting. 9 boards including 4 offensive. 2 blocks. Only 3 fouls.

Did exactly what we need him to do. Shots were all in the flow and played some good defense against their frontline without a lot of fouls.

Beautiful game and fits in like a glove here.
 
Been awhile for a Rulzzz prediction contest. Little miffed no one called an ISU blowout score. LOL

This wins strictly because it was largest margin of victory predicted.




couple non score predictions I wanted to shoutout
I thought somebody said it wouldn't be close, just weren't sure which way it went..

I was worried about foul trouble when he got that b.s. one early when Cluff arm-barred him while being fronted.

Listening to Painter presser - can't dislike the guy, maybe ask me again if the beat us. Pretty fair and glowing account of what happened.
I liked his comment on Nelson:

"I thought Nelson came in the game, didn't play last game, I thought he came in and with his energy and ability to drive the basketball, he gave them something. That's what you want man, like you can't have those dudes coming off the bench all mad and sh*t about not playing or not starting, you've got to have dudes functional who are buying in and gonna play, and you can say whatever you want but when you watch that right there, you know they're bought in."
