As Herm Edwards would say, “you play to win the game.” Statistics are fun for fans to talk about, but at the end of the day winning impacts our feelings as fans the most. Many greats have paced up and down the sidelines of Hilton Coliseum, but none of them ever recorded 100 wins. Gary Thompson? Nope. Jeff Hornacek? Negative. Surely, Fred Hoiberg accomplished this, right? No.
One player in Iowa State history has now won 100 games as a player: Monte Morris.
If you want to talk about individual statistics, that’s fine, because Morris has those too, but his most impressive stat when he leaves Ames will be his win total.
