Just a few days ago, the finalist list for the Bob Cousy Award was released. Iowa State fans immediately noticed something strange... Monte Morris didn’t make the cut.
It was another slight in a career that has been largely overlooked by basketball “experts” who live on the east and west coasts of the country. But everyone who’s a part of Cyclone Nation knew that Morris’ exclusion was just plain wrong.
Today, with a new addition to the already-present chip on his shoulder, Monte Morris nearly tallied a triple-double in leading Iowa State to a 92-83 victory over Oklahoma State in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament.
