Steve Alford Focus Quotations

We're 7-2 in the nine games since that came up. That tells everybody where our focus has been.

Since those things broke, we're 7?2. I think that tells everyone where our focus has been.

Since those things broke we are 7-2, and five of those wins have come against top 25 opponents. There's a Big Ten title in there, and I think that tells everyone where our energy and focus has been.

My focus now will be on next year's team.

Out of respect for me and my program, I hope all questions are directed at this year's team. For those of you that have that incredible urge to go elsewhere, out of respect for you, I have this comment: My entire focus and energy is helping my team win a Big Ten championship and get ready for the NCAA Tournament. This is my only concern.

My only focus is on our team. All my efforts and passion and enthusiasm are on this Hawkeye basketball team.

My complete focus and efforts are on trying to help my team win a Big Ten championship. That's my only concern.

But mostly, our focus will be about ourselves.

We are two minutes after the game. My whole focus and energy haven't changed. I put everything into this.
