COACH GAME QUOTES

He's just a special player. He's going to go down as one of the great players to play in an Iowa uniform. Of all the great guards and great players who have played here, he's the career assist leader, and he's still got a lot of games left. The night he breaks the assist record, it might have been his best defensive effort. I thought he did a terrific job on Shannon Brown. He battled through.
