Coach Tang perfectly sums up the life of a student-athlete. From the outside, you tend to forget alllll that could hinder an athlete's performance. We make judgements based off of what happens on the floor, forgetting everything that happens off the floor is still involved.

Charles Omenihu grateful to be back. He says everyone could take away from this:
"I learned that not everything is going to go exactly how you planned it, but however it goes, you've got to make a way...."
"I'm probably the happiest I've been in my life, tbh"
Leipold with words even I needed to hear today: Can't start having success and think too far ahead. Can't go from A-D without going from A to B, to C, to D.

When I caught up with Keyontae Johnson during his draft process, he mentioned the Thunder. He said whether he was at the NBA team closest to Manhattan or not, he knows
@KStateMBB
fans will support him anywhere.
Your girl is E M P L O Y E D!! I’ve accepted a sports reporter/anchor position with KSNT in Topeka, Kansas! I’m super excited to be back in the Midwest *cough*closertoStillwater*cough* and to cover a range of Big 12 and pro teams! LFG
A smart move for OSU would be to add women’s volleyball. The rest of the Big 12 already has it, so it’s one of the easiest sports to add.
In order to keep the Title IX balance, I would add men’s soccer, even though women’s soccer is more entertaining.

Lance Leipold had some words of wisdom for his team after Saturday's game:
- We better embrace victories
- Maybe we were expected to win by more, but there are a lot of other teams who were expected to win and didn't

Unpopular opinion: if I catch a ball from a player or a home run ball, I am NOT giving that ball to the kid I cut off for it. That kid’s been a fan for like 9 years?! I’ve been a fan for at least 21. You’ll have your turn, child.
