Peacock spreads feathers with Texas State

Alex Peacock remembers his junior college days as the “worst, greatest experience.” 

That’s the phrase he always uses to describe his time at Iowa Western Community College. It was a grind, he says, never quite sure where his next meal would come from. 

“The cafeteria closes at 7 (p.m.), you get out of practice at 5 (p.m.). You’ve got to eat, get treatments, stuff like that, by 8 (p.m.) you’re starving,” Texas State’s senior forward said. “You’ve got to learn how to fend for yourself really. You’ve got to really be on your own. I was six hours from my mom, couldn’t just get up and go to my mom’s house.”
