Ames Tribune CCL update

Linehan has her recap of Wed. CCL games. Interestingly, she states Dendy and MG have similar games. Looks like Boozer played pretty well. If he could develop his handle, he could see some PT.

Thats good that Dendy and MG are working good together. Thanks for the post.

I didn't realize Buckley almost had a triple double and I was at the game. Good news... even if it is the CCL

Nice review by the Author! +1

My wife says I am wishing the summer away, however, I am excited as usual for Football, MBB and WBB to start! Wrestling too this year!

Go State!

Anyone else notice the number of rebounds everyone's getting....makes you wonder if they are playing more like 6 on 6 basektball. I am guessing not a whole lot of D going on

Also, dare I ask who "Bubu Palo" (ISU) is playing for MOHA? Not sure who he is or was the (ISU) a typo?

I believe he is a walk-on from Ames HS where he was a teammate of Harrison Barnes and Doug MacDermott.

BuBu Palo is a preferred walk on at ISU from Ames High.

**CyBelieve** · 07-02-2009, 10:14 PM

was he going to Yale?

**Clone_12** · 07-02-2009, 10:16 PM

Pritchard from Ames is the one going to Yale.

He is just a bit undersized. I don't see him cracking the lineup this year or anything, but he seems to be a very athletic player. It looks like he will be a very good guy to have in the program.

I have been at most of the games this year; alot of show; open gym stuff; what I look at is the new kids. I have been impressed with the walk-ons. I think they could of played elswhere but decided to play for ISU; Bubu and Alex do hold their own - not flashy but always play thier game; stepping aside for the kids everybody want to see - looking forward for them to make some noise if they can hold out.

As I have mentioned before, this is nothing more than glorified pick-up basketball.

How long are these games? 110-101, 125-97, 125-118...either they are playing 80 minute games or virtually no defense.

I'm not sure a whole lot can be ascertained from this type of environment.

You can get a sense from watching but not much from stats.

There is nothing profound or enlightening in your post. No one is contending that stats, or even play, in the CCL will equate to much in 09-10, but simply reporting how well/poorly they did on Wed. night. Stop trying to look for controversy.
