career conference dealing decent heading odd people seen vague
In my career in this league, I've never seen it this vague heading into the conference season. We've all had some decent wins, and we've all had some odd losses, and some people have had some injuries. We're all dealing with issues.

It's always tough to lose, but at the same time I think our kids showed a little bit of something we were looking for. (They showed) a competitive spirit.

The last 18 minutes, our kids played the way that Iowa State teams are supposed to play. When you're on the road, down 19 points, your point guard isn't playing, and you have a chance to win it at the end -- that says a lot about your players.

We felt that was the way we had to play them. That's how we got back in the game at Kansas, playing a switching man, and that made them believe this is a good way to play.

Everyone who loves the game wants to be doing something in March.

At this point in the season, aesthetics doesn't mean a lot to me. We won the game a number of times and we lost the game a number of times.

There's no way to guard her. There isn't. If there is, I don't know anyone that's found it.
conference created deep money phenomenal teams upset
It would be a phenomenal upset for us to go real deep in this tournament. The conference tournaments were created to make money and give teams hope. The Big 12 can make the money, and we'll have the hope.
