Stephanie snap a cool weather photo . Post it to we are iowa dot com. Just click on the share it tab jack 2bam jordan joins us now and cyclone fans looking for of the big man have to keep waiting. Jordan 2bam steve prohm is a man of his word. And jameel mckay is learning that the hard way. Coming up on local 5 sports, with mckay still suspended, iowa state is hoping a different lineup will keep leading to wins. Now, local 5 sports are iowa sports when steve prohm says means indefinitely. Jameel mckay was suspended indefinitely due specifics were given. To twitter, game coach prohm didnt like that. Today he said mckay will miss wednesdays texas tech as now the move forward piece of their team. But hes still messing around. Due to suspension. Concern for the cyclones, prohm knows how important mckay is to the team, but isnt willing to bend the rules. I love jameel, we need jameel to be right for us to max out and he knows that and me and him are continuing to communicate. And hopefully he can have a good week this week and well go forward. Right now hes suspended indefinitely until i really saw more on the matter. With mckay out, prohm moved Deonte Burton into the starting lineup and slid Georges Niang from the 4 to the 5 slot. A position, niang is familiar with, but took a half to adjust to. Early on i wasnt worth anything in the first half and coach told me i was the 5 and i needed to Start Playing like one. After a 2 point first half, niang put up 16 in the 2nd half to help lead isu to the win. It also gave the cyclones another look opponents will have to prepare for. Obviously we miss jameel blocking shots at the rim and finishing around the rim, but i lineup that we can use and thats pretty darn effective. Now the cyclones hit the road facing some hard times, but coach prohm is confident this team can bounce back. Sometimes dealing with adversity away from home, rather than at home sometimes can be easier. And so we are under the gun a little bit now, with numbers and a little adversity, but our guys have responded to that and i expect them to respond again on wednesday night. Wednesday night the clones will take on texas tech in lubbock. That game is set for 8pm and can be seen on espnu. The latest ap top 25 is out.
