McGee is the "energy" guy of the team. A lot of people want him to start, but he seems to relish coming off the bench. One hell of a spark. 3 point threat and makes all of the hustle plays.
To add to the guard picture, the starting PG will be Korie Lucious a senior transfer from Michigan State. Our best player next year is likely to be another senior transfer, Will Clyburn. He's a 6' 7" wing player who averaged 17 ppg, 7.8 rpg at Utah his junior season. He started his college career at Marshalltown CC.
The others have pegged Babb and McGee pretty well. Babb is a lockdown defender who really relishes that role. Be prepared for lots of references about opposing scorers getting Babbed. McGee is definitely an energy guy, but don't sell his shooting ability short. He shot 39.4% from 3 pt range last year making 50 3 balls on the season.

Location, Houston, TX. You prolly get more ISU coverage than he does.

Actually, I am in general agreement with you. I don`t believe he should be subjected to the UNI sucks routine. The OP (original panther) did slip in the little jab about the "head to head" game last year prior to any douchebaggery by ISU partisans, however.

So by that logic you must assume that all Iowa State fans around Ames could give you a player by player breakdown of UNI's roster? Sorry, but outside of the few days before they play, UNI fans for the most part couldn't care less about Iowa State. I didn't keep track of them any more than to see if they were helping or hurting the Panthers' RPI. That's why I'm on here to learn.

Just listing what I knew about the ISU team. It was the only Cyclone game I watched last year.

Buy season tickets. That will be the best route to being a fan.
