The availability of Iowa State center Chris Alexander for Wednesday’s game at home against Texas Tech is uncertain. Alexander did not travel with the Cyclones to Colorado citing a family emergency.Assistant coach Steve Barnes says Alexander’s baby is very ill and that’s why he was not with the team. Larry Eustachy was a no-show on today’s Big-12 teleconference. The Cyclones are 2-6 in the league race after a loss at Colorado and Barnes says the Cyclones are like a number of teams out there that are struggling on the road.Barnes says the Cyclones need a good effort at home against Tech. Texas Tech is coached by former Indiana coach Bobby Knight.
