Iowa State’s trip to the Sweet 16 in New York City is only days away. The Cyclones practiced in Ames on Tuesday and before that went down, players were made available to the media. We caught up with the Big 12’s Player of the Year, Melvin Ejim, to pick his brain on Iowa State’s bout with UConn on Friday night.
