Didn't they say he broke it initially punching a table?

Yes. Team meeting, teammates said they needed more from him. He was so upset by it that he punched a table and broke his hand.

Someone want to take tomorrow's thread?

 

[WIB]

Cheering pretty hard for Uconn. Villinova is a lot bigger (Or at least their key players are).

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Napier is feeling it tonight ... Those were deeeeeep.

 

[HFCS]

Assuming we get by UNC,

I'm not scared of either Villanova or UConn
I'm not scared of Michigan St

Even without Niang

Villanova would have 3-5 more losses with our schedule.

If Iowa State didn't have the potential of playing the winner, I could never root for UConn over Villanova. We have to beat UNC. I don't think I could take a UConn-UNC Sweet Sixteen game.

You could have created a "most insufferable potential Sweet-16 matchups" prior to round-of-32 :smile:

Napier hobbling around now.

Napier hobbling around now.

Some type of calf injury ...

 

[CycloneErik]

Watching that bit with Napier and the trainer was tough to watch. He's quietly showing something very serious.

 

[cowgirl836]

this is good, very good.

 

[Cy$]

match up very well with UCONN even without Niang. Win tomorrow and I see an elite 8 appearance.

 

[HoopsTournament]

I am advancing UConn to the Sweet Sixteen. After we beat UNC, will be time to end their 4 game Sweet Sixteen winning streak.

1993 - The last time the Big East did not have a team in the Sweet Sixteen. Creighton is their last hope left to keep that streak alive.

we can do this! we, we can do this!

 

[HoopsTournament]

Good night all. Tomorrow night we will be celebrating a Sweet Sixteen and be talking about UConn.

Good night all. Tomorrow night we will be celebrating a Sweet Sixteen and be talking about UConn.

And if we are talking about a 15 point loss to UNC, just remember the challenge were faced with.
