After a come-from-ahead loss against the Baylor Bears, the Texas Longhorns are on the verge of imploding in the midst of an already disappointing season. After dropping back-to-back heartbreakers, Texas prepares to host an Iowa State team that may be equally as desperate for a conference win — the Cyclones are just one spot ahead of the Longhorns in the conference standings, No. 5 and No. 6 respectively.
In their previous matchup, Texas briefly managed to give Iowa State a scare, closing the lead to one point with 1:28 left to go but were unable to fully retake the lead.
