Roy Williams - "I cannot remember any game I was more proud of a team defensively than I was our team today. We were probably more alert to seeing the big picture defensively than we have in any game this year and maybe any game I've ever been involved in. When we are playing defense like that, it helps us get our break going. It all starts with our defense. (At halftime he told the team) "You look at the stats. Raef's got three shots. I told them we are either stupid or we are not a very good basketball team, and I didn't think either one of those were true. We wanted to get the basketball to him. "Missouri may be playing with a little more of a cause. They need to win to make the tournament." ISU coach Tim Floyd - "That's as well as we've been guarded since I've been at Iowa State. They got to our shooters very well. They fought through screens. "We were encouraged at halftime because we felt they were struggling a little big too. We tri7ed to make it an ugly game and figure out a way to win ugly."
