Iowa State is coming off of their worst loss of the year — a two point defeat at the hands of a Florida A&M team that was a 20+ point underdog.
Meanwhile, TCU put together their most complete performance of the preseason in a 34 point bludgeoning of 11-1 George Mason.
Neither result will matter to the winner of tonight’s conference opener, as both teams are looking to start Big 12 play with a critical victory. This feels like a must-win for both teams — the Frogs, picked to finish last in the conference need to win every winnable game on the calendar, and the Cyclones have a sketchy resume to this point.
