Pound the ball inside. They don't like to play defense for extended periods.
Get back on D. They like to run and are primarily a 3 pt jump shooting team.
Good point I forgot about. If it weren't for refs out to get them, Golden State would be chasing Iowa State in the standings.They do not foul. They might get called for fouls, but none are actually fouls.
And they have really good water.
Great offensive players, don't bother to play much defense. They only run 6 deep and are often too tired to keep fighting late in games. Their roster is mostly transfers who quit on other teams, an attitude embraced by Cyclone fans and coaches alike. Their team leader is Georges Niang, who has racked up over 2000 career points while giving up over 3500. He acts like an idiot and may try to grab his opponent's genitals. Their old coach quit after losing to UAB, and after being a top 5 preseason team, they finished this year 10-10. Being in the Big 12 is the only reason they aren't a 9 seed. Purdue will be the most physical team they've played in months, and should win by 20+.
Their mascot is supposedly a cyclone, although if you look at it, its clearly a bird trapped in a cyclone. They proudly wear the colors of McDonalds/ketchup and mustard.
We are prepping for ARLR, because any team that was swept by Iowa is in trouble in the big dance.
No defense required. Its called Hoiball. Gets you the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference.They like to hang out on our board, pretending not to be obsessed, but just "defending" their team from attacks. Hey, somebody's got to play defense for the Cyclones, right?
They have a beautiful Campus located in central Iowa with nearly 40K students. They participate in the B12 conference and are called the Cyclones. The mascot is CY the Cardinal. The school is strong in Ag, Vet. Med, and engineering.
You forgot to mention two things:
1) Purdue's enrollment is only about 39,000 so you will beat them because of that.
2) There are Cyclone "fans", but most fans are "Cyclones".
I guess the Clones are fortunate that all NCAA games are played on neutral courts.ISU beat three teams on the road in conference this year, Kansas St., TCU, and Oklahoma St. They were the three worst teams in the Texas Ten and aren't in the tourney.
In answer to the question, if Purdue pounds the ball inside like they can, it will ISU either foul or give up buckets. They key for Purdue will be slowing down Niang.
The Purdue Big's will have to try and keep up in high altitude...... I don't like their chances.In answer to the question, if Purdue pounds the ball inside like they can, it will ISU either foul or give up buckets. They key for Purdue will be slowing down Niang.

Hammons and Haas might score 80 on their own if your guards can get them the ball.
Reminds me of the Notre Dame game in 2013. Everyone said Cooley was going to kill Iowa State down low but in the end he couldn't defend Niang or Ejim

I would expect Swainagain to guard Niang and not Hammons or Hass.
Who do they guard if ISU decides to play Burton over McKay? Which they have done a lot this year.I would expect Swainagain to guard Niang and not Hammons or Hass.
So what you're saying that you'd easily beat Michigan State.We are prepping for ARLR, because any team that was swept by Iowa is in trouble in the big dance.
