Vroman says the Cyclones expected a tough game and that’s what they got. Vroman says UNI executes well and sets good screens, making them tough to guard. The Cyclones are 2-0 under first year coach Wayne Morgan. Morgan says it was a good experience for his team because it was a good, tight game. Morgan says his team didn’t fold when UNI took the lead and made the plays it took to win.
