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

Awesome day. Shoutout to the Purdue fans that were gracious every time my son and I yelled BOOM! on every 3, which seemed happened for a half hour straight.

The folks around us starting yelling for fletcher lower to be benched pretty early because he can’t play defense.

They complained a lot about us fouling but that’s basketball now. Hope they never play Houston.

Mackey is great. Don’t buy into the fact it was early and quiet. It was jammin and we took them out of it the second half. This is the ceiling. Hope the floor is higher!
 
How many turnovers did ISU have in the first half? I was listening on the radio and it sounded like about 10 or so. JJ had 4. I know Walters said Purdue had 11 points off turnovers at one point.

ISU ended with 12 and Purdue 13 points total off of them.
The main problem I saw was from standing still while dribbling, whether while backing someone down or otherwise. Purdue did a great job picking on our pockets in that scenario. We kept the ball moving a lot better in the second half.
 
Point guard ranking in Mackey (sp?) today:

# 1 Tyrese Haliburton
# 2 Tamin Lipsey
# 3 Killyan Toure
#4 goofy weirdo for Purdue flailing around
Smith is overrated and the national player of the year talk was dumb, but I think he’s a really good PG that ran into an elite team and defense.

Purdue’s roster is Smith and guys that can play but are pretty much dependent on Smith getting them shots. They are a really poor ball handling team with catch and shoot or point blank guys.

SIAP but did the fans do the juicy wiggle?

Purdue clearly scouted Jefferson’s tendency to keep his dribble so wide while backing down from the perimeter. Was glad to see him/ISU adjust and prevent that after Purdue got a runout from it.

We are not a 1 or 2 player team, we have a 9 man rotation and all can score and play there role. 2 games JJ has been in foul trouble and limited minutes and we blew the teams out.

Just got done watching my tape.

First, Mr. Obvious says Milan is a whole different player.

Second, so we preferred Cluff over Buchanan?

The mass part is pretty evident but I have to think that worked out well.

The way CW put it the staff started with Cluff because there was more of a prior relationship there due to his time at SDSU playing for Hendo, but after missing out on Cluff they were just as happy with Buchanan.
