Tuesday night’s 76-79 loss to TCU highlighted a few key things about this Iowa State team. Most notably, this team does not have the talent to play anything less than a perfect game to scrape out a win. We’ve now seen this on display for three straight games. West Virginia was a winnable game, Oklahoma was a winnable game, and this TCU game had me convinced for the first time all year that we would play an incomplete game and still find a way to win. Alas, as sure as Steve Prohm wakes up every morning and puts on chapstick, Iowa State went on a 9 minute field goal drought ending with 28 seconds left and the Cyclones lost.
