*** Official West Virginia vs #3 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[NATEizKING]

Milan with 26 points on 13 shots and zero FTs attempted is a ridiculously efficient scoring outburst.

No chance he comes back, with the current NCAA rules an NBA team might take him by midnight

Idk. He needs to improve his handle a bit, but it’s hard to argue that he isn’t the best shooter in college basketball right now and at 6-8 that has NBA scouts drooling.

He had really elite hands and handles, for anybody but especially someone built like him. he had elite frame, athleticism and strength.

He was a great passer but not any better than JJ. JJ is a much better defender. JJ is a drastically better shooter.

Maybe most importantly they seem to be exact opposites between the ears with JJ being about the coolest customer I’ve seen in a college player. I think JJ really thinks about the game like a chess match.

Jefferson seems like an actual nice guy compared to Royce in college. We definitely didn’t like him showing up to the same parties.

Adapting to the NBA.
Milan will do so, much moreso than the aforementioned.
For those that haven't noticed, his d has vastly improved

He has significantly improved year over year in this system for sure, but I’m interested to see how he guards an uber athletic wing on an island. I don’t think he has had to do that.

Thankfully the NBA has rules that wouldn’t allow it.

Who's the last 5 that's better than Buchanan? Vroman? Homan? Fizer? Cato?

I am an idiot i didn't realize we had 2 Presidents again


Brain transplant please

In your defense, you may have been really young when Buchanan was in office.

they dropped 1.05 NET. a massive drop for a game that they won.

Metrics don't like Freddie's team. 14-0 and they sit at 22

They are gritty. They don’t really blow teams out.

Season is far from over, duh.
Buchanan improves weekly.
Biggest season surprise, imho.

That's why I'm asking the question. It's obvious he's legit.

Jameel McKay was pretty good.

That’s a really good question.

I've watched them a few times...they are fun to watch. But they scream 'upset special' type of team in the NCAAs. As in 14 over a 3 or a 13 over a 4 type upset.

I think Fizer is the only one that you can say is head and shoulders better. Buchanan is not going to be a 1st team AA.

My PSA to all bad free throw shooters to shoot it underhand

Mine is to pretend you’re cramping. Go down….

Like King jokingly said after his 7th 3, "He needs to diversify his game". lol. Then right after that # 8 fell, and it was "Good Gracious". Thought that was classic and made me laugh out loud. Of course, I am one of the few on here who actually enjoy King calling a game.

I think he called ISU fans the best in the country tonight too if I'm not mistaken.

Cato was a freak athlete. Fizer was a bull going to the hoop nobody could handle him

Great college player, not so much in the NBA

Buchanan is the best passer of the bunch. And has great touch around the rim and off the glass.

 

[GP4ISU]

Batemon showing he deserves more minutes.

His back to back threes in the first half woke up the old crowd and got us going. We would have been fine at the end, but those shots really mattered.
