The football season is winding down and all Jamie and Eric feel is deja vu.
Meanwhile, men's basketball has shown glimpses of this year's potential identity. Lockdown defense? Still present. Improved offense? Seems likely. New players? Lots of upside, including some unexpected facets that can really boost the Cyclones.
