Do we have to? Iowa State was dominated on both ends for 35 minutes by Texas. Iowa State without a fully functional Caleb Grill seems to be a completely different team even with Kunc back in the rotation. Grill’s presence is especially missed on the defensive end, that suffocating Cyclones defense has lessened as the season has progressed.
That was an ultra-emotional game in a hostile environment. Today and Monday will hopefully be a bit of a reprieve for this team. A chance to sure things up before their last conference game in Waco, and then post-season play.
