AMES, Iowa — Monte Morris awakened Monday to word he’d been named a Couzy Award finalist. Georges Niang woke up to a sore left foot and a throbbing thigh.
No. 13 Iowa State’s dynamic duo may be in different stages of health but expect both halves to be ready Tuesday night when No. 14 West Virginia visits Hilton Coliseum.
The versatile Niang limped through the second half of Saturday’s 72-62 loss at Texas A&M after sustaining a left thigh bruise. Coach Steve Prohm said the 6-8 forward already was coping with a flare-up of plantar fasciitis in his left foot.
