People move on and you've got to realize you have to work with what you've got.
It's possible, but you've got to go in with a different mentality. We have to work hard and believe we can do it.
The word is really getting out (about Iowa Central cross country). Both teams should be much stronger this year and we have a lot more depth to work with.
He wanted me to do more and get involved by running off screens. I wasn't doing that, and he got in my ear. ... That's what coach wants, and I have to work on it.
The girls have been working very hard. They all have ran for the past four years and will be tremendous assets for our program.
When we come out and he plays aggressive, that opens it up for other players. When he plays like that, the sky's the limit.
When he got back in, he made his presence known.
When I'm playing against them, I guess I get a little more juiced.
We've seen it before. Now we just have to practice for it.
There ain't no difference. Take Penn State. They're a rival. Whoever wants to step up and play against Illinois is my rival. That's the way I see it.
Right when it left my hand I thought it was good, then I saw it was long. I usually make them. It just didn't go in for me.
I won't say this feels like a loss. But we could have put them away, and we didn't. We have to come out there and finish it out to be a great team.
I think that's what we've been emphasizing. Energy. Enthusiasm. Just have fun. You've got to have fun playing basketball. We've got to bring the fun back.
Last year I said they were gonna make the Final Four. This year I know they're gonna make the Elite Eight, just because of the style that they play.
