O.K. all you pansies! So we will be without Niang...why lose the faith? We are still alive and I believe we can still go far with this team. Kane, Ejim, Morris, Houge and whoever else CFH decides to go with will keep this going.
I still have Iowa State going to the Final Four and even winning it.
Please for everyone's sake - grow a pair because I am not sure a lot of you may not have any if you constantly think this way.

Go ahead - fire away at my response - I can take it I've got a pair!

There always has to be the guy that looks around and tries to the the super fan that beats his chest and screams" None shall be more faithful than I" while trying to put down everyone else who( in this case at least) is rightfully ****** off. I know who we have left, I know what they can do. Maybe people are freaking out right now because Georges was a match-up nightmare, and without him most expectations have gone from expecting an Elite 8 or Final 4 to just praying we can get by tomorrow. We were in a position that we haven't been in for over 10 years now, and thanks to this injury now have to look around and hope we get miracle play from either a freshman, a rarely used Juco, or a streaky shooting sophomore. If we somehow do win the national championship this year I'll find you and rep the crap out of you, but for right now I don't see it.

Grasping for straws with know knowledge behind it. Pretty easy to sit behind the keyboard and say he could play with the injury.

1. If you're going to talk smack on a computer, check your grammar. "No knowledge." Duh.

2. What history do you know about these injuries? You're in here talking smack, acting like you're all high and mighty, knocking down anyone who says he could possibly play. Are you a physician?

Yeah, get me on that grammar at midnight.

My history? From a few minutes ago when ISU said he's done. And all the history behind guys not playing with this type of broken foot.

But sure, bump those gums about how he could play in a week with nothing to back it up. Whatever makes you feel better about him being done.

Also, I'm confused. What do you mean by your last sentence? Yeah, it's pretty easy to say behind a keyboard that if he feels he could play with the injury, he should play. I'd say that to him as well. I've been saying the whole time, if he feels he can play, he should play.

I know it's a raw deal and sucks for everyone, especially Georges and the team, but frankly you're being a real a**shole by yelling and screaming at everyone else on here.

Monte and Naz will be asked to take more shots. Thomas will get some time since UNC isn't that great at shooting from the perimeter and his D isn't consistent.

Melvin at the 5
Dustin at the 4
Kane at the 3 because he's so strong on the block?

Edozie and even Percy if there's foul trouble in the paint.

To win we're going to have to guard like pro's in the paint, probably sagging off UNC's shooters, daring them to beat us. Also, we're going to have to hit shots from outside. I could see this team taking a page from last years tourney team - perimeter-focused team.

This totally suck. **** totally, but we're going to fight like hell. The press will love this story and if we get hot, look the hell out NC.

Infuriating that "fans" are claiming he could or should play. Just silly. Baseless and unfair.

It's easy to say "well I would play" when not in that situation.

For the record, I wouldn't play. But Georges is 10x tougher than me, and probably all the posters on this site. I'm not saying he should play, in fact, no one is saying he SHOULD play. I think everyone is saying there's still a chance he COULD play.

I don't necessarily disagree, and I'm going to venture that some of your frustration is probably just venting...but you're still coming off pretty poorly here.
