Hason Ward's determined to extend his adversity-filled ISU journey with an NCAA Tournament run

OMAHA, Neb. — Hason Ward felt adrift. Stranded in what most people consider a paradise. Unable to join the Iowa State team he longed to play for two summers ago as he tried to cut through maddening, visa-based red tape. That meant the dynamic 6-9, 230-pound Cyclone forward needed to get creative

I love Hason Ward. I hope we can go all the way for our unheralded bigs who play so hard every game.

He’s improved so much from last year. Hope he gets a chance to keep playing basketball after the tourney.

We have rarely had front court depth and interchangeable parts like this even on some of our better teams. In the backcourt and wings we've had it, but rarely down low.

I said a while ago that at times he plays like a Chris Webber type with his passing and movement etc.

He seemed to 'find it' again in KC along with a few others and I hope it continues.

This group has been so workmanlike with how they do things that it's hard to grasp just how great of a season it really has been.

He really has. I think he'll continue to get better. The talent is there. Just look at his free throws during key moments of a game, as an example of improvement.
