I won't discount the possibility of a struggle or even a loss, but you have to think that this team is much better equipped to handle ISU than previous teams. We could have a huge letdown, and ISU is obviously playing solid ball coming off a 56 point win over a halfway decent conference team, but we should still expect to win stress free.
Look at the bright side: Iowa St had their breakout game at precisely the right time to get our full attention for next week. No chance our squad takes the Cyclones for granted now after what they did today--and what we didn't do.
Some teams come together in the last 1/3 of a season. Unless our guys are truly ready to play they will lose in Ames. AS Dana said .... this will probably be the hardest week of the season for our guys.
