| Rob Mathews: What
is the most important thing you’ll take with you from your Ball
State basketball experience? |
| Rob Owens:
Just how to be a better teammate probably.
How to get guys motivated; how to get myself motivated.
To appreciate the game. Just
come in day in and day out and work hard - just like you do in a regular
job or if you’re playing basketball. |
|
| Rob Mathews: What
is the one thing that really sticks out in your mind that you have learned
from
Coach Buckley? |
| Rob Owens: Teamwork
– not trying to take on all of the load by yourself.
Trust your teammates. Learn
to work with other people. Come in early.
Take your job seriously and do it to the best of your abilities. |
|
| Rob Mathews: How
is school going? |
| Rob Owens: It’s
good. I’ll be done first summer session. |
|
| Rob Mathews:
What is the difference between the Ball State
team right now and the Ball State team of just two weeks ago? |
| Rob Owens: I
don’t think there is so much of a difference.
I think we’re playing better offensively, but we’ve always tried
to do the same things defensively. Everything
is starting to come together right now, which is the best time for it to come
together – right before the MAC tournament.
If we can keep this going, that’s great. |
|
| Rob Mathews: What
kind of a legacy do you want to leave behind? |
| Rob Owens: Just
to keep getting better everyday. I’ve
tried to do that throughout my career – just to try to keep getting better
every year. That’s what I want to
leave on – just to work hard in the off season and work hard with your teammates,
because when you do that your career is going to go much better. |
|
| Rob Mathews: It
goes fast, doesn’t it? |
| Rob Owens: Oh,
yeah, it does. |
|
| Rob Mathews: Rob,
thanks for your time and best of luck to you. |
| Rob Owens: Thanks. |
