Those Frogs fans everywhere still alive following our last three games against Kansas State, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State, are anxious for TCU to return, with a vengeance, against Iowa State.  Not that I'm in the business of speculating about such matters, but I, personally, have made a general request to the team that they triumph over Iowa State by a minimum of 20 points.  Let's hope the boys are paying attention.  

In our favor:  we have some great players, and we are killing it in rebounds.  Boasting such luminaries as Mike Miles, Emanuel Miller, Damion Bough, and Chuck O'Bannon Jr, we have every reason to believe the Frogs will be able to put plenty of points on the board.  Then we have Micah Peavy on defense, whose points per possession rests at .4, ranking in the top percentile nationally. 

It's all about the rebound.  There, TCU leads the Big 12, and ranks in the top 6 nationally per game.  

So what of Iowa State?  Their record, 14-4, is comparable to TCU's.  They have lost four of their last five games in the Big-12, so needless to say, they are going to be hungry.  Also, they will have the home court to their advantage.  Then there is history to consider, having beaten TCU 13-12, and are 7-4 against TCU in Ames.  

So let's stop biting our nails and begin furrowing our brows and flaring our nostrils.  Our men's basketball team has something to prove, and I've no doubt they know how to going about doing it.  

The TCU Horned Frogs will be meeting the Iowa State Cyclones at the Hilton Coliseum at 3 pm in Ames, Iowa.  

TV: It can be viewed on ESPN2.  

Radio: Alternatively, fans can listen to the game on AM 570 KLIF with Brian Estridge and John Denton
