Team From Texas Comes To Ames In November

The media and the Texas Tech fanbase would have you believe that the Red Raiders, led by Tahj Brooks, are a formidable opponent who is prepared to tear into any opponent they face, but are they really? They're coming north in November into the cold, and they're flailing as a team, a perfect opportunity for the Cyclones to advance to 8-0.

Cyclone volleyball has gone stone cold, with a gut wrenching loss to K-State on Sunday in 5 sets, followed by a 4 set battering in Waco at Baylor on Wednesday. They play a quality TCU team, but are they healthy and prepared enough to take on the challenges that Melanie Parra led Horned Frogs bring to them?

Iowa State basketball launches on Monday for the women at 11 AM with the skip school game followed by the men at 7 PM. Both squads open the season against teams that should be inconsequential.
