Mount St. Mary's is a hot team....NEC better look out!!!

Christian looks like the right fit there. Guys like Prescott, Whack and Wiggins are dangerous from the outside, and their "havoc" style is tough to prepare against.

I think they beat Bryant - would have certainly given them the edge if they were at home.

I can't let you mention players being dangerous form the outside without mentioning Norfleet. I've mentioned it before, but my connection to the school is Norfleet, as he use to be my wife's student, so we go to their home games. This team improved when Castellanos was benched and Norfleet and Wiggins took over at PG. Wiggins is a freshman, so it took him some time, but now he's playing with a confidence and I haven't seen an all the ball defender like him in while.

I knew I was missing one of them. Norfleet's been on a nice run over the past five games, but Bryant's bottled him up the two times they've played. (Of course, the last match-up between the two he didn't need to score much, since that was Prescott's big 44-point outburst.)

Wiggins would get my vote for NEC Rookie of the Year. He impressed me a lot when Mount was here in late January, and he's been one of the most consistent players in the league since the middle of that month.

Lobos only moving up 2 spots =

Speaking of Indiana's senior night, they just finished up their speeches and shit about 45 minutes ago.

And apparently, they're cutting down the nets at Assembly Hall.

@DustinDopirak: They're going to cut down the nets at Assembly Hall. This just feels weird.

Senior night in Manhattan tonight. Those three seniors ended up being the winningest class in K-State history. One more win away from at least tying for the Big 12 conference championship. Going to be a tough game though going on the road against Ok. St. at Gallagher Iba Arena.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Indiana is a weird fucking school.

Court storming with all of that tradition, cutting down nets after terrible losses. What a joke.

[JimLeavy59]

Didn't Indiana give out Sweet 16 rings last season?
