TT is coming into this game with an 18-6 record overall and they are 14-0 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. This will be the 12th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are currently 7-4 in their conference games this season. They have won 3 of their last 4 games but are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 3 game winning streak that they were on. Their 3 wins in that span were against the Mississippi State Bulldogs, the Texas Longhorns, and the West Virginia Mountaineers while their loss came against the Oklahoma Sooners in their last game. Kevin McCullar led the team in points in that game with 12 while Terrence Shannon Jr. off the bench was next on the team with 11 points. Davion Warren led the team in assists in that game with 3 while Mylik Wilson led the team in rebounds with 4. They were 39.6% from the field, 11.8% from 3-point range, and 78.6% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 73.5 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 60.5 PPG against them. TT has an ATS record of 16-8 this season and their O/U record is 11-13.

 

TCU has won 3 of their last 4 games but they have struggled against conference opponents this season and the last time that they played against a ranked opponent they lost by over 20 points at home. Now they are going on the road against a team ranked even higher than that ranked Texas team they lost to and TCU will likely fall flat on their face in this game. TT has also won 3 of their last 4 games but they are coming off of a bad loss in their last game by 15 points and they are going to be out for blood in this game. They have been solid at home all season going 14-0 and they have won their last 5 games at home against conference opponents by double digits. The last conference opponent to make it a close game when TT was at home was Kansas back in early January and they still lost that game by 8 points. TT has been crushing teams at home all season and this game will be no different as they will be extra motivated to win here and bounce back after an awful loss. TT will win this game by double digits close to 20 points.

“I think it says something. Again, it was so quick, I just didn’t get the message across. We thought it was what we came up with offensively, had 45 minutes to get it across, not even that with warmups and stuff, but I think they found out how to do it. That’s the biggest thing and it’s kind of something we’ve been emphasizing and we took a step backward against Kansas State but got refocused. We got the ball inside early and that was huge.” - Jamie Dixon on his team’s win against Oklahoma State.

 

 

"We were chasing them the whole second half. That's not the way (we) like to play, but you've got to give all the credit to Oklahoma. It was a tale of two halves." - Mark Adams on his team’s loss against Oklahoma.
