This will be the 16th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are currently 7-8 in their conference games this season.

Kansas is coming into this game playing very well in their recent games winning 4 of their last 5 games but they are coming off of a loss on the road in their last game. They lost to Baylor by 10 points but Kansas has struggled against ranked opponents on the road this season. TCU is not a ranked opponent though and all of Kansas' wins on the road against conference opponents have come against unranked opponents. They are going up against a TCU team that has been good at home this season but they have a losing record against conference opponents. They have not been winning a lot of games recently but they are coming off of a win against TT in their last game. That was a big win for them so this might be a let down for them and Kansas is a better team than TT is. Kansas should be able to get the win on the road here but TCU has been good at home so they will keep this game close. Kansas wins this game by single digits.

"You play a top-10 team on the road, it was a missed opportunity because we had payed so well early. I didn't go into the game thinking that this was going to be a great opportunity. I went in the game knowing that you had to play really well in order to win, and we didn't play well enough." - Bill Self on his team’s loss against Baylor.

 

 

“I believe this team is a tournament team. I have complete trust in my teammates. I think we have proven enough that we are one of the best teams in the country. The rankings don’t show that, but we know collectively as a group that we can compete with anyone.” - Emanuel Miller after their win against TT.
