Iowa State or Purdue?

ISU. Home state v. conference. I don't think our most hated rival (PU) is that good.
 
I think that Purdue has the best lineup this season from the BIG. They win this by a 78-70 score
 
Purdue is playing so silly early on. Launching dumb threes almost every possession. I cannot believe the luck ISU has in this tourney so far. Purdue should be racking up fouls down low... awful start.

ISU can't rebound on the offensive end and Naz Long has chucked up 2 three point attempts...lucky they are only down by 3 so far.
 
I anticipate this to be about a 12 point Purdue lead late in the game and then Thomas makes an unreal 3 and then ISU goes on a 15-0 run to win. Because that's just how it works.

If Purdue keeps trying to play at ISUs preferred tempo, this is a disaster in the making. ISU doesn't have the ability to cleanly defend the post but Purdue is stupidly falling right into the trap here - playing fast and mostly from the outside.

Purdue clearly has the advantage down low but they are throwing up some absolute bricks right now and have looked like mental midgets at times.

Iowa State is capable of getting hot and going on a major run at any time. For Iowa State, it's about speeding Purdue up and forcing them to play a helter skelter game. For Purdue, it's about pounding Iowa State down low and working the ball out to open 3 point shooters. And keep Iowa State runs to a minimum.

This game is a toss up.

Exactly. They turn this into a half court game they should win easily.

Painter must suck as a coach. Take Swanigan out for a minute and tell him what needs to happen here.
 
And Thomas looks like he's going to go for 30 tonight with the junk he's making

That's the thing about Iowa State they have so many offensive weapons. Thomas will cool off then Long, Burton, or Morris is likely to go off. The Big XII should feel fortunate all four of those guys are done after this year.
 
My sentiments exactly. (Unless it was Clones vs. Minnesota, then that would be a very tough choice for me.)
