*** Official UAB vs #9 IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***

All I know, for someone that was supposed to go crazy this year to make up for breaking his foot in last year's tournament, Niang certainly was very quiet. It's like someone forgot to turn on the heating element to warm up the fish grease...
This is the worst excuse I've ever heard. Who cares? He's still on the team and contributes. Not rooting for your team is detrimental. Look at all the guys who never play and cheer all the time.
Wisconsin is s a snooze fest to watch, and this is what is killing College basketball. The grind it out, tough rough switching defense for 30 seconds. ISU defense is usually good for 20 to 25 seconds, 35 no.
I'm sure it's easy to find. I think it put ISU up 51-49 or 53-51, something like that. It was an exciting part of the game, taking the lead late, and zero emotion or looked like he didn't even want to be there.
Naz kept trying to get the bench into and excited for the game, and they hardly ever got up and cheered for the team.
That's sad - detrimental especially since it's do or die. I know it must suck to have done what was done for him, but he should be lucky he was even being played at all ever.
I don't want to give crap to the guy but it doesn't seem like he was invested in the team as much as he should/could have been.
I am surprised we lost to UAB, and really would have been happy with sweet sixteen. I don't know this team beats SMU.
Remarkably, Fred lost two All-Americans and had us top ten at the end of the season. When it counted our best player had an off day and without Matt Thomas we may have lost by ten.
We seemed to be more concerned about where we were ranked than playing up to our potential.
We are a program that is just not quite ready for the limelight. These guys did not handle it well.
There is no Georges was hurt excuse this year. I hope this doesn't bite us on the recruiting trail.

Next to no more BDJ analysis the other silver lining to today is 9 months without this fan base whining about officiating. Sorry, Morris and Long we're playing Frank Mason hand-check, body bump defense all game long and didn't get called. Niang was hand checking all game long.
