Niang w/ a Foot Fracture?

[dcZONAfan]

Just heard it on another site. Sucks for them, just lost any chance at a FF/NC with that loss

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Huge loss for them

 

[dcZONAfan]

feel so bad for the kid. He's only a soph or a junior though, right?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Yup sophomore so he's still got time but that would suck coming all this way only for it to end

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Devastating... Just awful for any ISU fans and obviously for Niang himself.

 

[TrollyMcTroller]

Wow that opens that region even more.

Hell, I like UNC's chances of getting out of there now. What's Ol' Roy's record against Izzo? Seem like it's about 20-0. Lot of games before then but I like those two to get to the EE in that region.

 

[bksballer89]

I had them vs MSU in the elite 8 in damn near all my brackets

 

[Wishbone]

Sux for Iowa St. and me. I had them in the final four. Doubt they get there without him.

yea it's so much tougher than a guy like Brandon Ashley going down mid-season. At least Arizona had time to try and figure out how to play without him.

Yup, they are a team that already doesn't have very much size, so there's no way they can overcome the loss of their 3rd best player and best big man.

damn put 25 to win 2500 on them to win the ship at the start of the yr. kane and ejim have to pick up their play

sucks dude that was a great bet. prolly still wouldn't have cashed but with Niang there simply isn't any chance. I think they go down vs UNC, and there's a chance they could let up about 110. UNC's offense has clicked the second half of the year, and I don't think ISU has played defense since the Mayor got the gig...

 

[Runeman]

Real bad timing for that and I agree that will be it for that team.

 

[Texas Jefe]

that hurts

Yeah and on top of that while I also feel badly for Ashley and any player who has their season end...Niang played 30 something games, won the Big12 championship and got a 3 seed in the dance only to break his foot right away. That just sucks.

you are right about them lack size or depth even. If they get through UNC I like the way Nova matches up now(if they beat UConn). I already thought it was decent since Nova plays 4 guards so ISU wouldn't have killer size. No take out Niang and there is no fear of the inside outside game and Nova can play what they want...guards vs guards.

 

[H2S]

some fears aren't irrational...

UNC owns MSU.

was my first thought seeing Niang limp off the court last night.

fuck.

Same, I have them knocking off my beloved Spartans to reach Dallas but I will always root for my school over a bracket. I still need every point I can get from ISU, I am praying they get to the Elite Eight still.

 

[purguy12]

This is big news. Im a UNC fan and this is a big loss for Iowa St. This helps UNC chances. Hate to see an injury.

Lets Go Heels.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I had Iowa St in the EE and contenders for Final Four. I think they can still get there, but UNC will be tough.

a) did you really have to say that?
b) did you really pick ISU over your team? I mean, I understand if your team is a double digit seed, but besides that....If I'm a gonzaga fan, I have my team winning it all in my bracket. If I don't, then jesus I better have spent about 1000 on my bracket or else it's inexcusable

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

What a shame.. I had them going to the elite 8 too..
