It's probably a little too early to call #17 Iowa State's game with Texas on Tuesday night a "must win", but it's definitely a "should win" or a "need to win". Sitting at 1-2 in conference play and coming off a baffling home loss to Baylor, tension and frustration are rising for a team that had aspirations of ending Kansas' Big 12 dominance.
In year one of the Shaka Smart era, things aren't exactly going as planned for the Longhorns. Losers of 3 of their last 4, Texas is just 9-6 and is in desperate need of wins.
