Bama man said:
Is Iowa really 6 points better than I St even at home? Is this a trap?
I don't think so.
AMES, Ia. -- Iowa State basketball players said the plan is to rally around Bryce Dejean-Jones' one-game suspension Friday night against Iowa, the same way they did in the NCAA Tournament against North Carolina.
"Having a guy go out is similar to when Georges went out," guard Naz Long said after practice Thursday. "A lot of people are not believing in us without having Bryce. That's something that motivates people like myself."
Iowa State beat North Carolina last season in advancing to the Sweet 16 — despite star performer Georges Niang being on the sidelines with a broken foot suffered in the opening round against North Carolina Central.
