I was recording video and will have that uploaded shortly, but a few takeaways:
Said Jordan Geist hasn't practiced since the team returned from the Virgin Islands. Geist was playing through a lot of pain in his back. Expects Geist to play tomorrow against Temple, though.
K.J. Santos is working out on his own, but is still not practicing with the team. Martin expects him to be "back on the floor" in the next seven to 10 days, but I got the sense he meant back in practice at that time, not necessarily playing in games.
Said Temple is a talented offensive team. Like Iowa State, they have multiple guards that can score.
When asked about the decision to play Christian Guess against K-State, said Guess has impressed him with his toughness in practice and he wanted to reward Guess with some playing time.
Said Ronnie Suggs "isn't going anywhere." Expect to see a fair amount of him this season.
Called some of Jeremiah Tilmon's fouls inexplicable. Said some are questionable calls, but some are just mistakes that can't continue to happen.
Asked about the runs that Mizzou has given up at the end of the first half against both Iowa State and K-State, said one knock on the team is that it relies too much on emotion while playing defense. At times, that can be a good thing, but it also allows for one or two mistakes to snowball.
