Iowa State's road to the Final 4 is Clear Sailing; Purdue will CHOKE, guaranteed
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
All depends on if ISU can hit the threes on a regular basis like they have been. I think Purdues guards are decent enough to slow ISU guards down but I doubt ISU can hang with Biggie and Haas. If purdue is smart they will slow the game waaay down and make ISU Earn each basket Not let them run like they did last night. Work it down to Biggie and they have a chance to beat ISU.
Agree that 'clones have the edge over pu.
They were tested at times by nevada, though, so it's not as if that was a blowout from the opening tip.
ISU has the edge on the perimeter. And while I think swanigan will get his, and even haas will do damage, it won't be enough to overcome 'clones superior guard play.

regardless of the outcome, will Morris say that ISU Is better than Purdue and that the Purdue players know it?
Yeah, pu will have a hard time with ISU. Swanigan is very slow footed and Hass might be the slowest footed player in the world and neither one can jump.
PU will need to dominate the glass on both sides to make it a game, which they can do.
This. The key for Purdue will be to get as many shots in the paint as possible. This should keep ISU from getting out on the break.
Painter should just feed Biggie and Haas all game and let the chips fall where they might. If Purdue just jacks a bunch of 3s they will get run out of the gym.
ISU has heard the same thing after White..... Ejim.....Kane.... Niang. If Iowa can do well with freshman, certainly ISU can. ISU's freshman next year are more highly regarded than Iowa's this year, and there are good returning players.
ISU will have to guard Purdue, on the perimeter. If they don't Pudue can and will hit their 3's. Defense is going to determine who wins this game.
I am calling it now.
Congrats to the Clowns on their victory over Purdue.
Monte Morris was right. IS-who is better than Iowa. We all know it.

Next year will make or break with transfer season, I believe ISU has 3 schollys left and transfers are the reason they haven't had to take a step back in the past when they graduate good players.
LOL - score board. Next year is going to be brutal for the clowns

3 things:
* Purdue chokes every year
* Teddy V is officiating this game.
* Monte Morris says his team is better, win or lose.
I recall the other thread (yikes who doesn't?) I just meant to say I thought the Clones were actually playing so well they had as good a shot as anybody. I honestly thought they would beat Purdue IF the refs did not allow the mugging, er, contact that Purdue relies upon to be successful.Reverse jinx, bro
Still, I hate to ruin your thread, so...looks like the Clones are primed for a huge 2nd half!
Clowns will coast in the 2nd half and then be just 4 easy victories from the National Championship!
You think their future looks good now? Just wait until after they show recruits that National championship trophy.
Its a Cyclown state, as Niang once said! Its soon to be a Cyclown nation as well.

We were this close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
19 point second half lead...GONE!
This in, from Monte Morris:
"We are the better team. The Purdue players know it."
Well it worked. Gave up a HUGE lead but manage to hang on. Iowa knows what its like to be up 19 on the clones and lose it. except we actually lost it.
Am I the only one that is so tired of seeing ISU play like 10 minutes of good basketball and sneak out a win...
Well not tonight!!!!!!'
Well not tonight!!!!!!'
Sad thing on cyclone boards they have stuff like this that they actually believed would happen.
You might want to edit about 20 of your posts in this thread or just own up that you were wrong. I'm not buying that this was your plan, unless you believe that posting reverse psychology on a message board affects the outcome of a game.
You are in for a rude awakening next year. ISU's freshman are more talented than this year's Iowa freshman.....significantlyLOL - score board. Next year is going to be brutal for the clowns
