WEST DES MOINES — Monte Morris went to Colorado earlier this month expecting to make USA Basketball’s Pan American Games roster. He left not totally surprised he was cut.
“I wasn’t nowhere near my highest (level of play),” the Iowa State point guard said at a recent Capital City League night, “so I can live with that.”
Morris was put in a tough situation on the floor due to a more serious and mournful situation off it when he lost his maternal grandmother to cancer before tryouts.
“My feel was just off a little bit,” he said.
