Episode 294 — Iowa State’s T.J. Otzelberger

Iowa State’s T.J. Otzelberger didn’t come to rebuild the prideful Cyclones program. Rather, he came to win now! How does he plan to accomplish that in the mighty Big 12? Why it’s an honor for him to step up in weight class. The special environment Hilton Coliseum provides. The biggest lessons learned from mentors and why it’s important to be “your own man”.

Thoughts on his roster. Emphasizing blue collar guys who can shoot and be a physical presence. The importance of being able to score in multiple ways. And why daily work habits are key to success. Plus, why Rutgers is two decisions away from being an NCAA Tournament team.
