Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger says a lack of motivation is not an issue as the Cyclones get ready for tonight’s (Tuesday night’s) game at TCU. ISU is 3-9 in the Big 12 and has lost four straight games.

Otzelberger says after playing harder than all of their non-conference opponents the margin of error is smaller in the Big 12.

Otzelberger says better offense will help on the defensive end.

TCU beat the Cyclones 59-44 in Ames last month and Otzelberger says his team needs a better start.

A key will be keeping TCU off the offensive boards.
