Freshman Forsling is a 7-foot ray of Lobo sunshine

Sebastian Forsling’s cheeks were as red as the cherry-painted walls in the Pit’s midramp media room on Thursday night.

And the smile on the face of the 7-foot freshman from Sweden, wearing an Allen Iverson Slam Magazine T-shirt, was almost as wide as he is tall.

“How are we doing?” he asked reporters loudly as he sat down behind the microphone for his first postgame interview as a Lobo.

Leave it to a cynical reporter to fire away with a: “Why so happy?”

“For me, just playing for this crowd and this city is just amazing,” Forsling said.
