Iowa State will finish the basketball season without senior guard Caleb Grill. The school announced Grill is no longer with the team for failure to meet the program’s expectations.
“We hold our players to high standards and there are expectations that our student-athletes are held accountable for,” Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger said.
Grill appeared in 25 games with 22 starts, this season. He averaged 9.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game and has been dealing with a back injury. Grill played at Iowa State as a freshman and transferred to UNLV the following season when Otzelberger was head coach there. Grill moved back to Ames last year when Otzelberger got the head coaching job with the Cyclones. He averaged 6.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists over 116 career games at UNLV and Iowa State.
The Cyclones have lost six of their last seven games and take an 8-9 Big 12 record to play at seventh ranked Baylor on Saturday in their regular season finale.
