Well the time has finally come. There can be no more “maybe this team turns it on come conference play” excuses. Conference play is here, and if Iowa State is to make its 6th straight NCAA Tournament, the run starts tonight against Texas Tech. While I still believe it’s too early to use terminology like “must win,” I wouldn’t fault any fan that chose to do so. I don’t envision a good, old-fashioned beat down, but the fan base could sure use a taste of just such a win.
It’s been a while, but if you need a refresher on where we left off, Iowa State pulled away from Mississippi Valley State in the second half last Tuesday.
