I want to thank the fans, the students at Iowa State and everybody who has stood by me for these three years. I also want to thank Coach Morgan for all his help and assistance. I feel like I have played against some of the best players in the nation while competing in the Big 12 and I am ready to test my game at the next level.
anybody coach effort great guard instead playing practice start telling
We've been telling coach we want to start playing more man-to-man. He told us that if we give great effort in practice that he'd try it. Now we can guard anybody instead of going 2-3 (zone) all game.
coaches decides
I don't know who decides that. We don't. The coaches must.
bring coaches explain happens hilton magic
The coaches say we went from Hilton Magic to Hilton Tragic. On the road, we really bring it. I can't explain what happens at home. It's crazy.
coaches uniforms wearing yellow
All I know is that the coaches said we're wearing yellow. Sometimes we wear yellow uniforms for big games. Sometimes we even wear yellow uniforms on the road.
ball bounce coach defensive difference talking winning
That was a big defensive play and was the difference in the game. This was an even game. One bounce of the ball the other way, and you'd be probably talking to their coach about winning this game.
coaching exception fortunate gave longevity player rare
When you look at her longevity and what she gave to the program, I think that is really rare. She is the rare exception in the coaching world and I was very fortunate to be a part of that as a player and a colleague.
athletes coach
Before that coach is hired, athletes don't know what opportunities will be present.
jump run settle shots stop
We're not going to settle for jump shots because they say they are going to stop it. They still have to stop it. We're going to run our offense.
focused kinda slow
We really focused on the big three. We kinda slowed them down a bit, but we couldn't slow the perimeter down.
happen seen stuff
We've seen this stuff happen to us before.
city home living smiling somebody
Living in a city where I do - somebody shoves you all the time, so I'm kind of used to it. After a while, I'm smiling and it's like wow, I'm back at home again.
carry defense rest time
We doubled him every time he got the ball. Defense like that has to carry us the rest of the season.
defensive efficiency finally good offense offensive played playing struggled
We finally started playing some defense. We got it down to two points, but then our offensive efficiency lacked. We couldn't get two things going at once. We played good defense, but we couldn't get it going on offense. If our offense clicked, we struggled on the defensive end.
