Minnesota is a team who knows they've got to continue to advance to help their postseason (chances), and that's scary because they have so many seniors.

There's been a lot of pieces to it that have come at different times. But they've fit the puzzle very nicely.

My focus now will be on next year's team.
difference guards iowa starting three
Our three starting guards got outscored (by Iowa State's guards) 48-29. If you look at assists-to-turnovers, which has a lot to do with guard play...that was probably the difference in the game.

That's why we're the No. 1 league in the country. It's obvious. We respect everyone, and we have to play well. ... We're down to five games, but a lot can change. Teams near the top could be in the middle. Two weeks from now we might be talking about teams at the bottom no longer being at the bottom.

Since those things broke, we're 7?2. I think that tells everyone where our focus has been.

Jeff can get going. I don't think it was any particular thing that Minnesota didn't do or that we did. It was just hard for them to stop him, like it was hard for us to stop Vince.

That's Jeff. That's his mentality and his mindset. He was mad at me for the four games he sat out. He's not going to change.

I wasn't impressed with many areas of our defense, which has been pretty solid all year. I don't think we defended very well.
