What would you guys predict in a Purdue vs Iowa State game in 2nd round?

ISU by 10 unless they are cold and Haas can figure out how to make an uncontested layup
 
Nevada has enough athleticism to hang around, but I'm still thinking ISU rolls.
 
What I see so far: Nevada has an undisciplined offense that won't consistently score. Meanwhile ISU starting to get things rolling on offense. Could change as it is now 13-12
 
Nevada stinks but ISU is gonna give the Purdue guards a lot of issues ... way too much athleticism. It's gonna be a road game for Purdue also
 
No way ISU loses unless they start calling Thomas for the traveling he commits every damn time he touches the ball. Unbelievable.
 
ISU starting to play tighter, but that Thomas 3 was useful. The Nevada run is being attempted now anyway.
 
I think that Purdue is similar to Indiana in that their big men have a HUGE advantage if these 2 things BOTH happen: (1) the guards hit their open 3's and (2) they actually feed the Haas and Swanigan the ball.

Neither of these are a given. If the guards are hitting their 3's, I really do not see ISU winning. 50/50 proposition, which makes the game so tough to call. Haas was REALLY bad around the rim last night - think Woody, only bigger - so he is WAY overrated. They do have Edwards, who is 6'8" and can really guard. I think he will be guarding Burton, freeing up Swanigan to concentrate on scoring and rebounding.
