Thus, tonight the Cyclones will have the chance to complete that 20 wins task as they take on the No. 10 Mountaineers tonight.

Of course that won’t necessarily faze the Cyclones as have they feel they have a lot of offensive talent in their attack?
They have a standout star in their ultimate 3 games in Niang who has fed off the opponents as he averaged at least 24 points in those 3 games and completing an incredible 63.9 percent of his shots. In their last game with West Virginia, Niang completed 8 of his 16 field shots scoring some 21 points.
