I haven't really been following Niang much, but just looked up his stats and it seems like recently he's been getting quite a bit of playing time and is doing well. Proud of him. He's one of the best to ever play at Hilton for us, so glad he's carving out a nice little role as a 6th/7th man. The better ISU players do in the NBA the more it helps us with recruiting as well.

Yeah hes building up some momentum with his minutes and stats. I think we all know he probably won't ever be a starter but he's got an opportunity to be a really good first thru third guy off a bench. Nothing to sneeze at with that at all.

Ha, look at Mr. Heckler, fresh from his suburb gym and pushing his chest out like a tough guy knowing full well nobody is coming past the barrier. And the scores of sporting franchises that pretty much do nothing to police their stadiums and arenas.

Niang seemed to be really fit and in great shape. And on defense, he seemed very aggressive, stayed tight on his man, and fought hard through screens. That part of his game has improved in the NBA.

Joe Ingles has a child with autism. Its just twitter speculation, but some are saying the hecklers may have made reference to that. If true, thats really ****** up and makes sense why Ingles and Niang reacted that way.

Some entertaining replies here. Apparently this is the wife of the guy who confronted Ingles/Niang.

Yea, I'm shocked she hasn't deleted it.

If it were a new account I'd swear it was a troll account but some people are just complete idoits and ******** in real life. Even better than a troll account.

Not a big twitter guy, any of you run across a posting with audio to it to see what these jackasses said?

Georges has worked really hard to stick in the NBA. He's going to stick for a while
