Iowa State basketball coach T.J. Otzelberger says the Cyclones have focused on effort during summer workouts. ISU finished at the bottom of the Big-12 last season in defense in rebounding in posting a 2-22 record.

Otzelberger says the Cyclones want defense to create offensive opportunities.

Otzelberger has been pleased with the response from the players.
