[atlantacyclone]

Come on Cyclones! Don't allow it to end now!

 

[Doc]

Niang's gonna get his *** drafted.

When you're playing against the best you can give away layups and free throws and expect to win.

 

[cycloneworld]

I wouldn't say way better, but I would say way stronger + taller inside.

With our defense and rebounding, I'm comfortable saying way better.

 

[State43]

God bless Niang, but he can't win this himself.

 

[CycloneErik]

Why on earth was Matt Thomas the guy boxing out the 7 footer?

Because he puts out consistent effort and other guys just don't seem to notice.

 

[Doc]

Niang misses a lay up.

Not an easy layup by any means. I'm impressed he got the shot off.

 

[TrumpetHero]

For a team that is absolutely not known for offensive rebounds, Virginia is killing us with second hand points.

 

[BloodyBuddy]

Fred built this team wrong, should have got two defensive bangers around Monte, Niang, and Thomas/Naz

McKay and Nader too soft on D

 

[IcSyU]

Gotta give Bennett credit. He went with the Bill Self against Brackins plan. Let Brackins get his but don't let anyone else score. He knows Niang can't score enough to keep up with them.

Hard to say w deserve to win this game. Can't rebound and can't make fre me throws. Oh well...sweet 16. I will take it every single year.

 

[Smallz0r]

At least Niang is going out playing well. Too bad no one else other than Matty showed.

Pretty clear Morris is still hurt. Short on all his shots. McKay and Burton are MIA. Nader has been meh.

 

[ISUTex]

Because he puts out consistent effort and other guys just don't seem to notice.

When a shot goes up, watch Mckay box out. Or Nader. That's all you need to know.

 

[howellc33]

We look defeated already. Nobody but Niang seems invested in this game which is sad to see..Especially for Georges.

 

[awd4cy]

I only notice Matt and Georges out there. Wish someone else would step up.

We just don't hit clutch free throws. 80% when it doesn't matter but when it counts, clang!

If a team struggles at offensive rebounding, we're pretty much their cure

 

[cyclo120]

Tony Bennett is one hell of coach and as we all know Georges Niang is one hell of a player is my quick game summary

 

[ISUAlum2002]

I'm shocked this has been Tobey's season high scoring game.

 

[Althetuna]

Hard to say w deserve to win this game. Can't rebound and can't make fre me throws. Oh well...sweet 16. I will take it every single year.

Don't you ever get tired of running this team down.
