“I ain’t gonna lie, Iowa State isn’t for everybody—if you don’t really love basketball, you ain’t gonna like it. You ain’t gonna fit here, because basketball is all it is,” says Gilbert. “We work hard as hell, so we know everything’s gonna fall into place.”

That quote perfectly sums up TJ and his program.

Excellent article. Authenticity isn't a word that came to my mind when thinking about TJ and this program, but I think the writer nailed it with that description. These guys put in the work and live and breathe the identity of the program.

Authenticity is exactly the right word. Live it, breath it, be it.

I sure hope all of this extra attention doesn't distract the boys from the important work ahead of them. I can see this becoming the modern version of the SI Curse...
