So Niang being out doesn't worry you and UConn basically having almost a home game doesn't concern you? Realize Iowa State fans travel WELL! However, can Kane play almost equal to Shabazz? Just asking as I am trying to break down game now and feel Iowa State is rolling, but UConn, playing in a familiar arena and likely home fans. Shabazz looked like the best player in tourney 2nd half vs. Nova in 2nd round. Have yet to see anyone look that good in a long time. However, he also got hurt late. Kane and Melvin Ejim are Sr's and don't see them going out easy, plus The Mayor is a much better coach than Ollie. Give me 5 days to prep and Iowa State seems sharp! Just asking as still trying to dissect how Iowa State plays without Niang who was a huge part of the Clones.
