KANSAS City, Mo.– Monte Morris never wavered on his availability for the conference tournament after injuring his right shoulder last week.
After a Sprint Center shootaround on Wednesday morning, Morris is more confident than ever in his ability to contribute when No. 21 Iowa State faces No. 6 Oklahoma in the Big 12 quarterfinals on Thursday (8 p.m., ESPNU).
“I made some shots, and the shots that I did miss still felt good,” Morris said. “I feel like I’ll ice it and just take care of it. When the lights come on I feel like my adrenaline will kick in and I’ll be good.
