Their best player, Larry Nance, was out with mono...along with another good player. Tough stretch slid the Pokes to fourth place going into the MWC tournament. I was happy, but not overly surprised when they won it. They are healthy and could surprise Northern Iowa.
The CSU Rams coach was overly optomistic about being a lock for the NCAAs. (At UW.. we say CSewe.) CSU got hosed...but is that any surprise coming from the NCAA?
