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.

We understand what's expected of us. We didn't need to spend a lot of time talking about that stuff. We just needed to get to work.

We're not here to embarrass anybody. The games you should win you have to win big. That's part of the deal.

We're not happy with a share of the title. We wanted to win the title outright. We'll take this as a lesson and still try to win a (Division II) championship.

We've got Jordan next week, which is another rivalry. After that, we have Southern. Nothing is going to come easy, but we hope to be ready for the challenge.
