Just spoke to Creighton and Marcus Foster in Sacramento. I won't share the entirety of the interviews we did, but here's just a few quotes.
On the journey from K-State to Creighton
"I had to face adversity with the circumstances that I had at Kansas State and having to transfer to another school, you know. taking a year off is something I've never done in my whole career, so I had to reinvent myself and I had to mature, you know, become a better teammate, better person on and off the court for my teammates. With that time off, the year that I had, it made me become a better person."
On the 2014-15 K-State team
"I think that team we just wasn't in it for each other. I think we all had our individual mindsets of what we wanted to do and what we wanted to accomplish. The talent was definitely there on that team. I just didn't think we brought it together as a team standpoint."
Relationship with Wesley Iwundu
"I just finished talking to him a little bit ago, trying to meet up with him and talk to him a little bit. I know he’s excited about what Kansas State is doing so I’m excited that they’re back in the tournament. He had a huge game the other night. Wesley’s always been like my brother, since the first day he got on campus. So I’m just glad he’s back to being in the NCAA Tournament and playing very well this season."
Relationship with Bruce Weber
"I have no problem with him. He had a job to do and I had a job to do and I wasn’t doing my job. The best thing for him to do was to get rid of the situation we had over there. It’s no hard feelings. I think everything worked out for the best. I wouldn’t be the player I am right now if I didn’t have to go through the adversity I had to face by transferring and sitting out a year."
