The Cyclones has made it to the second weekend of the tournament but not without casualty as F Georges Niang, their third leading scorer is out indefinitely. This happened in their first game and it was impressive the way they regrouped to beat North Carolina.

Tigers vs Cavaliers Pick – NCAA Tournament
If you read my preview of Coastal Carolina vs. Virginia, or any Virginia game really, you know I am not a big fan of the Cavs. The final score from their opener against the Chanticleers is more flattering than the game which was in doubt until the final 6 or 7 minutes despite the discrepancy in the seeding.
