Ole Roy "Huckleberry Hound" Williams sends his love to Naz
There should be a Naz highlight video that includes the hearts he's shattered and/or ripped out.

Also, will there be a thread for each senior to post fun moments like that Naz by Fran moment?
I tell you what. I am guilty for taking these guys for granted at times. They are special, special young men and we are very fortunate to have them as Cyclones. Monte, Matt, and Naz will go down as one of the best 4-year trios we will ever see here in Hilton.

On the 1st: You can almost see Forte cry.
On the 2nd: "His first basket tonight." I forgot that.
Agreed. Their senior night may be Tuesday in Hilton, but everyone needs to get their ass down to KC. We still have games left to play in front of a "home crowd" and I want their true senior night to be on March 11th in Hilton South. Keep on rolling fellas
I'm still young, but the last 6 years have been some of the greatest and most hospitable star basketball players I've ever had the pleasure of watching and meeting. I was in the student section, east side, 3rd row when Naz nailed that 3 to send it to OT. THE 10 seconds from the play starting to celebrating the make seemed like a solid two minutes.
As for the shot at OSU. I was a sophomore in my apartment with my other roommates. Couldn't believe we made it to OT and thought we'd suffer in true ISU fashion. And then we made it and won. I didn't care about studying, I didn't care about anything except how happy I was to be a student and watch my fellow Iowa State Cyclones end an incredible streak.
This whole team has been all about ending streaks and breaking records. I have at least had the chance to talk to all of these guys and they are all great guys. No further reason to wonder why Cyclone fans love their players so much...because our players know that we are a family.
I'm not sad it's almost over, I'm glad it happened, and I'm pumped for what we still have coming. The season ain't over yet.
A really good interview with Matt, Naz and Monte here:

This part was pretty funny:
"Morris (pretending that he’s not only his coach, but also speaking in the same tone and demeanor as his coach): “You have to play with better pace, guys. Monte — get the ball out on the floor. Run it. Go Naz, go. Go Monte, go.”
Morris (back to talking normal again): “He’s so energetic. Sometimes he’s yelling, and we don’t even know what he’s yelling. We’re like, huh? He’s very sarcastic, too. He’s always trying to do little subliminals to guys.”"

Great article about our seniors here. Enjoy.
"Soak it up, Cyclone fans. The most exciting time of the year has arrived, and if past success is any indication of future performance, we are in for an exciting month of March. As the tears well up in your eyes Tuesday, excuse yourself from being sad that it’s over, and be thankful that it happened in the first place."
