It's not the Cyclones first rodeo playing bigs. We took down Baylor and almost beat Gonzaga. Monte and Burton will chop them up. Solomon will punch them in the face.
We got this one. Bowie will answer the phone.

Look, Boilers.
This isn't personal. Everyone here knows you have a great team.
You are just in the way.

Is it more or less cool than a Pufferbilly? (inquiring minds from Boone want to know)
Morris of course has been great but felt a few times like he's been forcing it too much the last few games. Funny thing is that Purdue saw the Nevada game and thinks we turn the ball over a lot 
Just goes to show you truly how under the radar Morris is nationally that he can have a 5.5 to 1 assist to turnover ratio this year and people have no idea.

Which means if Hoiberg were still coach we might have been screwed, since he preaches 3s and layups.
Two days ago all Cy fans were anxious about playing a #12 seed. Today, vs the #4 seed, the posts and anxiety are gone. Time to get nervous!
Ok I'm nervous but cautiously optimistic.
Here is what I like:
1) We are more athletic.... we give other teams fits.
2) I have got to think that most of the crowd will be wearing red. Our boys feed off that.
3) We are playing at a high level and never appear to be nervous.
4) 1st game out of the way, jitters gone.
What I am nervous about:
1) Playing a top dog in another (albeit down year) Power 5 conference.
2) Can we deal with Swanigan?
3) Can we stay out of foul trouble?.... bench will need to be ready
4) Can our boys keep thoughts of KC on the back burner until about 11:00pm tonight?

I think everyone was afraid of a "bad loss" to end the season (though Nevada would not have been that- just disappointing). In this one, we have to overcome a very serious mismatch so there's no shame in losing. To me, if we play well and can find a way to push the pace, we win. If we don't, it was a hell of a year (though I guarantee that the team has much higher expectations).
