With last night's game, Casen Reid has set the single-season assist record with 136+. The epitome of an unselfish player who cares more about the success of his teammates than his own. Really embodies our theme this year of We over Me.

how does this pertain to the current story? What’s the intention of bringing up a 16 year olds tweeter feed when he has been nothing but genuine, thoughtful, and a perfect example of Iowa nice. How does this impact that story?

The best leaders on the best teams are the ones who pick up the field, set the energy on the court, and build up their teammates. They not only lead by example but they give confidence to those around them. Try to be that teammate.
#dobetter
Leaders should be selfish in defeat and humble when successful. When you win, talk about all the people who got you there. When you lose, take responsibility and ownership.
