Or point forward...

Yes- if Niang brings it up, that would eliminate the double team trap on him in the post, right? then he can go one on one or kick it out to MT for the 3, right. Solved it, you're welcome, Prohm! :) but seriously, isn't that what we want to do?

This has been the slowest day in a long time.

Make us proud Cyclone Nation! Represent all of us who couldn't make it!

The biggest key tonight will be for Niang to stay out of foul trouble IMO. I know that's an obvious statement, but seriously, we will need Niang to play nearly 40 minutes if he can.

He is too much of an offensive mismatch for teams to handle. If he's on the bench our offense is going to really struggle to get anything going IMO.

That started for me Wednesday. About to start breathing into a bag at this point. Wish I was there as games in person are less stressful for me for whatever reason.

Cheer loudly Cyclones!!!

I'm trying not to get too worked up about this, but it is killing me. I'm trying to tell myself that going in I said I'd be elated to just make the Sweet Sixteen and anything beyond that would be icing on the cake.... but boy do I want this one BAD!!!

You never know again when we might get a shot like this to make the Final Four.

I am the same way. I was at the Iona/ Little Rock games and I was confident the entire game but if I had been watching from home I would have been nervous as heck with about 7 minutes left.

I'm so nervous, I can't watch it. I'm going to record it and watch later. Going to have to play Call of Duty with my son.... and try to resist the million texts my phone will get during the game!

Yeah, I am happy win or lose (thrilled with a win), but I want this so badly for these kids!

Welp, time to get ready. See you guys and gals on the other side.
