against best coach competing everybody game help iowa morgan nation next played players ready state stood students test thank three
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.
alive couple early envisioned games hope losing next three
I'm going to keep hope alive during these next couple games that something turns. Losing three in a row, going to Oklahoma, is not what I envisioned early on.
against best competing game nation next played players ready test
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.
games hopefully run toward
There are some winnable games from here on out. Hopefully we can make something out of nothing and make a run toward the NCAA.
embarrass games win
We're not here to embarrass anybody. The games you should win you have to win big. That's part of the deal.
game past playing year
Playing this year is the only game that matters. If the past counted, we'd play only one game and you'd never play it again.
committing defense easy game giving ground played shoot silly smart stood
I think we got back on track. We played a smart game and we hustled. We stood our ground on defense and made them shoot over us, which is much better than what we were doing, which was over-pursuing, committing silly fouls and giving up easy baskets.
bowl city games start unless
I'm a city guy. I really like the fast-pace life, and there is no better place for that than L.A., unless they start having bowl games in New York.
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.
