The TCU Horned Frogs and Colorado Buffaloes meet on Tuesday in college basketball action at T-Mobile Center. Here’s a TCU vs Colorado prediction. This article will include a TCU vs Colorado Pick.

Colorado Buffaloes Betting Preview

The Colorado Buffaloes (12-19, 14-17 ATS) was the worst team in the Big 12 Conference with just three wins. The Buffaloes entered the conference play with 13 consecutive defeats before beating UCF. Following a three-game losing skid during which they lost to Kansas, Kansas State, and Texas Tech, the Buffaloes closed the regular season with a home victory over TCU. Colorado ended with a 3-17 conference record and at the rock bottom of the standings.

Colorado is averaging 70.1 PPG (299th) and is allowing 71.8 PPG (179th). The Buffaloes are getting 35.3 RPG (206th) and dish out 14.3 APG (147th). Julian Hammond III is the team’s top performer with 12.6 PPG, 2.5 RPG, a team-high 3.1 APG, and a team-high 1.1 SPG. Andrej Jakimovski has 9.7 PPG and 4.8 RPG, while Bangot Dak contributes 8.5 PPG, 4.0 RPG, and a team-high 1.4 BPG.

TCU Horned Frogs Betting Preview

The TCU Horned Frogs (16-15, 12-19 ATS) played well in mid-February when they connected three victories over Oklahoma State, Arizona State, and Texas Tech. However, the Horned Frogs lost four of the next five to close out the regular season. The lone victory came against UCF at home. It was the first time in 2025 that TCU scored 80+ points in a game. TCU ended in 9th place in the Big 12 Standings with the same record as Baylor.

TCU averages 66.3 PPG (378th) and allows 69.0 PPG (90th). The Horned Frogs are 279th in rebounds (34.1) and 367th in assists (11.7). Noah Reynolds leads the team with 12.3 PPG, 2.2 RPG, and 3.0 APG. Vasean Allette follows him with 11.5 PPG, 4.1 RPG, 3.6 APG, and 1.3 SPG, while Frankie Collins chips in 11.2 PPG, 4.4 RPG, and a team-high 1.9 SPG.

Why Colorado will beat TCU

  • TCU has lost each of its last four day games played at neutral venues.
  • Colorado has won 10 of its last 13 day games against non-AP-ranked opponents at a neutral venue.
  • Colorado has won the first half in six of its last seven Conference Tournament day games.

Why TCU will beat Colorado

  • Colorado has lost 18 of its last 21 games against Conference opponents.
  • TCU has won three of its last four games at T-Mobile Center against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Total Points Facts

  • Ten of TCU’s last 12 games at a neutral venue have produced a total of 138+ points.
  • Four of Colorado’s last five games at a neutral venue have produced a total of 145+ points.

TCU vs Colorado Prediction

The season record between these teams is 1-1. TCU won the opening duel 68-57 at home, while Colorado was better 76-56 in Boulder a couple of days ago. I have no idea who’s going to win and advance to the second round of the tournament, but I know it’s going to be a low-scoring affair. The Horned Frogs are a fairly slow-paced team and their games are usually low-scoring; they are 10-20-1 Over/Under this season. Also, both H2H this year went Under. TCU has hit the Game Total Under in 22 of its last 34 games, while the Horned Frogs have hit the Team Total Under in 20 of their last 34 games. Additionally, Colorado has hit the Game Total Under in 20 of its last 37 games, while the Buffaloes have hit the Team Total Under in 20 of their last 37 games. Go with Under.

In this article we will formulate a Colorado vs TCU prediction for this College Basketball game on Saturday, March 8th at the CU Events Center in Boulder, Colorado. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this College Basketball matchup.

Colorado Buffaloes Betting Preview

The Colorado Buffaloes are 11-19 (2-17) this year after they lost to Texas Tech by a score of 91-75 in their last game. Colorado trailed 45-33 at halftime and they allowed 46 more points in the second half in the loss. The Buffaloes shot 52.7% from the field, 21.4% on three pointers, and 66.7% on free throws in the game. Bangot Dak led Colorado with 12 points and four rebounds, while Sebastian Rancik added 12 points and three rebounds in the loss. 

Prior to that game, the Buffaloes lost to Kansas State by a score of 65-56 and Kansas by a score of 71-64. Colorado has lost four of their last five games and they are currently last in the Big 12 standings with a 2-17 record. Colorado has scored 69.9 points per game and they have allowed 72.3 points against per game, while also averaging 35 rebounds and 14.2 assists per game this season. Andrej Jakimovski is averaging 9.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game, while Bangot Dak is averaging 8.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game this year. Colorado is shooting 44.8% from the field, 74.7% on free throws, and 31.8% on three pointers this season. 

TCU Horned Frogs Betting Preview

The TCU Horned Frogs are 16-14 (9-10) this season after they lost to Baylor by a score of 61-58 in their last game. TCU was tied at 35 at halftime, but they only scored 23 points in the second half for the loss. The Horned Frogs shot 34.5% from the field, 28.6% on three pointers, and 66.7% on free throws in the game. Noah Reynolds led TCU with 16 points and four assists, while Trazarien White added 11 points and seven rebounds in the game. 

Prior to that loss, the Horned Frogs defeated UCF by a score of 89-78, but did lose to West Virginia by a score of 73-55 before that. TCU has lost three of their last four games and they are currently tied for eighth in the Big 12 standings with a 9-10 record. TCU has scored 66.7 points per game and they have allowed 68.8 points against per game, while also averaging 34.2 rebounds and 11.9 assists per game this season. Noah Reynolds is averaging 12.3 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game, while Vasean Allette is averaging 11.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game this year. TCU is shooting 41.5% from the field, 65.4% on free throws, and 29.3% on three pointers this season. 

Why Colorado will beat TCU

  • Colorado has won each of its last 21 day games at CU Events Center against non-AP-ranked opponents.
  • TCU has lost five of its last six road games against the Big 12 Conference.
  • Colorado has won the first half in 24 of its last 26 day games at CU Events Center against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Colorado vs TCU Prediction 

TCU comes into this matchup trying to finish the regular season with a .500 record in Big 12 play, but they will be on the road for this game. The Horned Frogs have lost three of their last four games and they have scored 63 points or fewer in all three of those losses. Colorado only has two conference wins on the season and they have scored 65 points or fewer in three of their last five games. Colorado’s defense has had issues as well, but TCU is shooting just 41.5% from the field. TCU won the first meeting with Colorado by a score of 68-57, but their offense has been brutal over the last two weeks and I don’t trust them to score on the road. Take Colorado at home.

The Baylor Bears and the TCU Horned Frogs meet Tuesday in college basketball action from Schollmaier Arena. Here’s a TCU vs Baylor prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best TCU vs Baylor pick.

Baylor Bears Betting Preview

Baylor was looking pretty good in the record column by mid-January, but since then the team has struggled amid some tough matchups. The Bears went 11-4 over their first 15 games, taking wins over Arkansas, Sam Houston, Tarleton State, St. John’s, New Orleans, Abilene Christian, Norfolk State, Arlington Baptist, Utah, Cincinnati and Arizona State. A 5-5 run came next with wins over Kansas State, Utah, Kansas, UCF, and West Virginia amid losses to Arizona, TCU, BYU, Texas Tech and Houston. The next three were losses to Arizona, Colorado, and Cincinnati though, leaving the Bears with a 16-12 record through the first 28 games.

In their Saturday matchup with Oklahoma State, the Bears held a slim halftime lead 26-24. Baylor woke up in the second half, playing better on a 45-37 run on the way to a 71-61 victory in the end. Leading the team in scoring was Jeremy Roach, who came off the bench for 21 points with four rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes of work. Norchad Omier managed to double up with 10 points, 13 rebounds, and two steals, while Robert Wright added 16 points with four rebounds and two assists.

TCU Horned Frogs Betting Preview

Over on the Frogs’ side, they’ve had a pretty choppy season so far as well, but they’ve been able to keep their heads above the .500 mark overall. TCU kicked things off on a 10-7 run, beating Florida A&M, Florida Gulf Coast, Texas State, Alcorn State, Xavier, South Alabama, Montana State, Kansas State, BYU, and Baylor in that time. After losses to Kansas, UCF, and Texas Tech the Frogs hit a 5-1 run with a loss to Iowa State mixed among wins versus Colorado, West Virginia, Oklahoma State, Arizona State, and Texas Tech. The next two games were losses to Cincinnati and West Virginia, giving TCU a 15-13 record across 28 outings.

Matched up against UCF this past weekend, the Frogs jumped out to a comfortable halftime lead 49-30. TCU was outscored from there 48-40 but held on for the 89-78 win in the end. Tops in scoring was Vasean Allette with 17 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds. Ernest Udeh managed to double up with 16 points, 11 boards, and two blocks, while David Punch had 14 points, eight rebounds, and three blocks. Tops off the bench was Micah Robinson on 12 points with five rebounds in 14 minutes of action.

Why the TCU Horned Frogs will win

  • TCU has won 20 of its last 21 night games at Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena against non-AP-ranked opponents.
  • Baylor has lost each of its last five road games.
  • Baylor has lost the first half in seven of its last eight night games against the Big 12 Conference.

Why the Baylor Bears will win

  • The road team has won seven of the last eight games between Baylor and TCU.
  • Baylor has won the first half in five of its last six games against TCU.

TCU vs Baylor Prediction

I’ll lean toward TCU in this one. The Frogs did a pretty good job against a middling UCF team in their last outing, shooting 47.8 percent from the field with a 49-42 rebounding edge. TCU could have been better from the line (17-of-28 for 60.7 percent) but holding the Knights to 37.5 percent on the other side helped make up for it. The Frogs’ 89 points were their highest total since posting 105 on Florida A&M in the opener, a welcome sight after just 118 combined points in the previous pair (both losses).

Back on January 19 when these teams last met, TCU took a 74-71 road victory in a close contest. The Frogs came back from an early deficit in that one, eventually shooting 50.9 percent from the field with a 41-25 rebounding advantage. TCU nearly gave the game away with turnovers, however, notching 17 for 21 Bears points. The Frogs are going to need to replicate their strong performance on the boards—and keep the mistakes to a minimum—in this home rematch, but I think TCU has a good shot at powering one out here. Should be a fun matchup to watch regardless.

The UCF Knights and TCU Horned Frogs meet Saturday in college basketball action at the Schollmaier Arena. Here’s a TCU vs UCF Prediction. This article will include a TCU vs UCF Pick.

UCF Knights Betting Preview

The UCF Knights beat Utah and Kansas State, and they play Oklahoma State and West Virginia next. UCF looks for three straight wins for the first time since December 14-31.

The UCF Knights are averaging 79 points on 42.3 percent shooting and allowing 80.1 points on 45.5 percent shooting. Keyshawn Hall is averaging 19.1 points and 2.3 assists, while Darius Johnson is averaging 15.3 points and 3.2 rebounds. Jordan Ivy-Curry is the third double-digit scorer and Moustapha Thiam is grabbing 5.8 rebounds. The UCF Knights are shooting 33.1 percent from beyond the arc and 77.7 percent from the free throw line. The UCF Knights are allowing 33.6 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 32 rebounds per game.

TCU Horned Frogs Betting Preview

The TCU Horned Frogs lost to Cincinnati and West Virginia, and they play Baylor and Colorado next. TCU has won each of its last four home games.

The TCU Horned Frogs are averaging 67.6 points on 42.1 percent shooting and allowing 68.4 points on 44.5 percent shooting. Noah Reynolds is averaging 12.3 points and 2.2 rebounds, while Vasean Allette is averaging 11.6 points and 4 rebounds. Frankie Collins is the third double-digit scorer and Trazarien White is dishing 0.9 assists. The TCU Horned Frogs are shooting 30.3 percent from beyond the arc and 65.3 percent from the free throw line. The TCU Horned Frogs are allowing 31.3 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 30.5 rebounds per game.

Why the TCU Horned Frogs will win

  • TCU has won each of its last nine games at Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena when playing with a rest advantage.
  • UCF has lost each of its last five road games.
  • The home team has won the first half in each of UCF’s last four games.

Why the UCF Knights will win

  • TCU has lost three of its last four day games.
  • TCU has lost the first half in five of its last six day games against the Big 12 Conference.

TCU vs UCF Injury Report

Frankie Collins is out for TCU with a foot injury. UCF will be without Cameron Simpson and Jaylin Sellers, while Rokas Jocius is questionable with a foot injury.

TCU vs UCF Prediction

TCU has won 13 of its 15 home games this season, so you can understand why the Horned Frogs are favored. UCF hasn’t had much success on the road this season. However, TCU has been hit or miss all year, and I’m not excited to lay points with a team that’s 10-18 ATS on the season. Also, UCF beat TCU 85-58 a month ago, covering a four-point spread. TCU has these games where the offense just doesn’t show up. Give me UCF and the points.

In this article, we will formulate a West Virginia vs TCU Prediction for this college basketball game on Tuesday,  February 25th, at the WVU Coliseum. Let’s take a look at a West Virginia Mountaineers vs TCU Horned Frogs pick. 

When these two teams faced each other in February, TCU won 65-60. 

What a Down Year for TCU

No one really knew what to expect for TCU heading into the season, but they have been a major disappointment, and they are coming off another loss in the last game. TCU only scored 24 points in the first half against Cincinnati, and it only got worse in the second half. TCU shot 40.9 percent from the field but only 26.1 percent from deep. As bad as they have been at times, two games ago, they had their most impressive wins of the season against Texas Tech. They were up 36-28 at halftime, and they held on in the second half for a three-point victory. 

TCU sits with a 15-12 record, but they have gone 2-7 away from home. Covering the spreads hasn’t been much better, sitting at 10-17. The defense for this squad has actually been fine; it’s been the lack of scoring that has let them down. They are shooting 42.19 percent from the field, which is 316th in the league. Noah Reynolds has been one of the only bright spots for the offense, averaging 12.7 points while shooting 44.1 percent from the field. Franke Collins was the third-leading scorer, but he has been out for a few months with a foot injury. 

Why TCU Will Beat West Virginia

  • West Virginia has lost nine of its last 10 night games against Conference opponents.
  • TCU has won each of its last four night games against the Big 12 Conference.

Can’t Lose Game for West Virginia

West Virginia isn’t on the bubble yet, but a loss here might put them here. The last thing they want on their resume is a bad loss, and that’s exactly what this would qualify as. Two games ago against Cincinnati, WVU won 62-59, but in the last game against Texas Tech, the offense wasn’t nearly good enough. They scored only 51 points, and it’s going to be hard to win many games doing that. Over the last four games, West Virginia has only one total win. 

West Virginia has a 16-11 record overall while going 14-12-1 against the spread. The Mountaineers offense is actually similar to TCU; it’s the defense that makes the difference. The Mountaineers are giving up only 64.5 points per game, 22nd in all of college basketball. This might not be “Press Virginia” anymore, but they are still a good defensive team. Javon Small has been the top offensive player, averaging 18.2 points, shooting 41.9 percent from the field and 34.6 percent from behind the three-point line. 

Why West Virginia Will Beat TCU

  • The home team has won seven of the last eight games between TCU and West Virginia.
  • TCU has lost four of its last five road games against Conference opponents.
  • TCU has lost the first half in three of its last four road night games against Conference opponents.

West Virginia vs TCU Prediction

I have been impressed by West Virginia’s defense all season, and it will be much of the same here. When these two teams faced off early this season, it was TCU that came out on top, but it was a lower-scoring game overall.  With the home crowd behind them, West Virginia’s defense will be impressive again. TCU’s defense has already locked down West Virginia once this season, and this game will be similar. It will be a hard-fought defensive battle, and the under will cash.  This total should really be closer to 121 or 122.

The TCU Horned Frogs and the Cincinnati Bearcats meet Saturday in college basketball action from Fifth Third Arena. Here’s a Cincinnati vs TCU prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Cincinnati vs TCU pick.

TCU Horned Frogs Betting Preview

The Frogs have had quite the choppy year overall so far. That said, TCU has been doing much better since February began. The team’s first 17 games were a 10-7 run, featuring losses to Michigan, Santa Clara, Colorado State, Vanderbilt, Arizona, Houston and Utah. The wins otherwise were over Florida A&M, Florida Gulf Coast, Texas State, Alcorn State, Xavier, South Alabama, Montana State, Kansas State, BYU and Baylor. Three more losses to Kansas, UCF and Texas Tech came next. Since then the Frogs have been on a 5-1 run with a lone loss to Iowa State. TCU has otherwise taken out Colorado, West Virginia, Oklahoma State, Arizona State and Texas Tech in that time. Overall that gives the Horned Frogs a 15-11 record so far through their first 26 games of the 2024-25 season.

On Tuesday in their matchup with Texas Tech, TCU kept their run going with an upset victory at home. The Frogs were up 36-28 by halftime, then hit a 38-33 second half run for a tight win 69-66 in the end. Noah Reynolds led the starters with 16 points and three boards with one assist, while Ernest Udeh doubled up on 11 points, 10 boards, one assist and one steal. Trazarien White posted a nice game off the bench with 16 points, four rebounds, one assist, two steals and one turnover in 27 minutes of work during the victory effort.

Cincinnati Bearcats Betting Preview

Over on the Bearcats’ side, they had a rough run going in January but aside from that they’ve been pretty good in the record column thus far. Cincinnati kicked things off with a nice 10-1 run featuring wins over AR-Pine Bluff, Morehead State, Nicholls, Northern Kentucky, Georgia Tech, Alabama State, Howard, Xavier, Dayton and Grambling. a 2-8 run came next with losses to Kansas State, Arizona, Baylor, Kansas, Texas Tech, BYU, Utah and West Virginia among wins over Colorado and Arizona State otherwise. Wins over UCF, BYU and Utah came next, then a loss to Iowa State. That gave the Bearcats a 15-10 run through their first 25 games this year.

On Wednesday versus West Virginia, Cincinnati was down 29-27 by halftime. The Bearcats didn’t end up getting any closer on a 33-32 run and lost the game in the end 62-59. Leading the team in the losing effort were Jizzle James and Day Day Thomas, each with 13 points.

Why the Cincinnati Bearcats will win

  • Cincinnati has won each of its last 14 games at Fifth Third Arena when playing with a rest disadvantage.
  • TCU has lost the first half in each of its last seven Saturday day road games against the Big 12 Conference.

Why the TCU Horned Frogs will win

  • Cincinnati has lost each of its last five games following a road loss.
  • TCU has won each of its last four games against non-AP-ranked opponents.
  • TCU has won the first half in each of its last three games against the Big 12 Conference.

Cincinnati vs TCU Prediction

I’ll stay with Cincinnati, but you could call this one either way. The Bearcats need a good bounce-back here following their latest loss as well. On Wednesday versus West Virginia, Cincinnati did well on defense, holding the Mountaineers to just 40 percent shooting. The Bearcats didn’t shoot all that well themselves though (41 percent) and missed four of their seven free throws (28.6 percent). WVU conversely hit 12-of-14 (85.7 percent) from the line, which was a key factor in the loss. Cincinnati has now lost consecutive games, and they’ve been below 67 points in four of their last five losses.

As for TCU, they’re riding high after their big win over a great Texas Tech team. The Frogs didn’t shoot all that great in the victory (41.4 percent) but they were solid on the boards with a 37-29 advantage (15-7 offensive) that helped offset the Raiders’ 49.1 percent shooting from the field. TCU has three straight wins in the bag with 69 or more points in each. That said, I like Cincinnati to stand tall at home and fend them off. Should be a great one to watch regardless.

The TCU Horned Frogs are allowing 31 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 30.8 rebounds per game.

  • Texas Tech has lost each of its last four games at Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena.
  • TCU has won the first half in 24 of its last 29 night games at Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena.

Why the Texas Tech Red Raiders will win

TCU vs Texas Tech Injury Report

TCU will be without Frankie Collins due to a foot injury. Texas Tech will be without Jazz Henderson and Devan Cambridge, while Eemeli Yalaho is questionable.

TCU vs Texas Tech Prediction

The TCU Horned Frogs have had issues stepping up in competition this season, and they’re 1-4 ATS in their last five games as an underdog. Texas Tech beat TCU by 14 points a couple of weeks ago. TCU is 9-16 ATS on the season overall. Texas Tech has won six of its seven road games, and TCU just doesn’t have the offensive firepower to hang with the Red Raiders. If Texas Tech continues to make shots, TCU won’t be able to keep up, similar to the first meeting. The line is reasonable. I’ll roll with Texas Tech in a strong road victory.

The TCU Horned Frogs and the Arizona State Sun Devils meet Saturday in college basketball action from ASU Wells Fargo Arena. Here’s an Arizona State vs TCU prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Arizona State vs TCU pick.

TCU Horned Frogs Betting Preview

TCU has been quite the choppy team in the record column so far this year. The team can’t quite seem to string together any significant win streaks amid a tough schedule. The Frogs opened things up with a 9-6 overall run, taking losses to Michigan, Santa Clara, Colorado State, Vanderbilt, Arizona and Houston in that time. The wins otherwise were versus Florida A&M, Florida Gulf Coast, Texas State, Alcorn State, Xavier, South Alabama, Montana State, Kansas State and BYU. A 1-4 run came next with a lone win over Baylor among losses to Utah, Kansas, UCF and Texas Tech. Since then the Horned Frogs are 3-1 in their last four with a lone loss to Iowa State. The wins in that quartet came courtesy of Colorado, West Virginia and Oklahoma State. That gives TCU a 13-11 overall run through their first 24 games this year.

In the Oklahoma State matchup on Wednesday, the Frogs went into the second half sporting a 38-31 advantage. TCU was outscored 41-35 the rest of the way but held on for the tight win 73-72. Vasean Allette led the team with 16 points, six rebounds and seven assists alongside one steal. Noah Reynolds added 13 points with eight assists and five rebounds. Micah Robinson also tallied 13 points off the bench along with his four rebounds and one steal in 20 minutes of work. Malick Diallo had 10 points with four rebounds off the bench as well.

Arizona State Sun Devils Betting Preview

Over on the Arizona State side, they were looking quite good as the calendar year flipped over to 2025. Since then however, the Sun Devils have struggled amid some difficult matchups. Arizona State hit a 10-3 opening run in their first 13 outings with losses to only Gonzaga, Florida and BYU in that time. Arizona State otherwise beat Idaho State, Santa Clara, Grand Canyon, St. Thomas MN, Cal Poly, New Mexico, Saint Mary’s, San Diego, UMass and Colorado in that time. Since then the Sun Devils have won just two games over West Virginia and Colorado. Otherwise it’s been losses to Kansas, Baylor, UCF, Cincinnati, Iowa State, Arizona, Kansas State, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. That gives Arizona State an even .500 record through their first 24 games of the year at 12-12 overall so far.

Matched up against Texas Tech on Wednesday, the Sun Devils hit a one-point edge in the first half. Arizona State fought through two overtime periods but ultimately fell just short 111-106 in a tough road defeat. Leading the team in the loss was Adam Miller with 22 points, four rebounds, three assists and one steal. BJ Freeman added 21 points with three assists and three steals. Alston Mason added 16 points with six assists and two steals. Tops in bench scoring was Amier Ali with his 18 points, seven rebounds and two steals in 34 minutes.

Why the Arizona State Sun Devils will win

  • The home team has won each of TCU’s last six games.
  • TCU has lost five of its last six road night games against the Big 12 Conference.
  • The home team has won the first half in seven of TCU’s last eight games.

Why the TCU Horned Frogs will win

  • Arizona State has lost each of its last five home games.
  • TCU has won 28 of its last 34 night games against non-AP-ranked opponents.
  • Arizona State has lost the first half in each of its last four home games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Arizona State vs TCU Prediction

I’m going to stick with Arizona State. All things considered we should have a pretty good matchup here, though. The Sun Devils pushed a good Texas Tech team to the limit in a tricky road matchup during their last outing, eventually shooting a nice 55.6 percent from the floor. Arizona State gave up 57.4 percent shooting on the other side though, along with a 38-27 rebounding deficit and 12 turnovers for 17 Red Raiders points. It was a valiant effort, but ultimately expanded the Sun Devils’ losing streak to four. They’ve posted 70 or more points in each of those games though, so I think Arizona State will notch a solid total here.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys and the TCU Horned Frogs meet Wednesday in college basketball action from Schollmaier Arena. Here’s a TCU vs Oklahoma State prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best TCU vs Oklahoma State pick.

Oklahoma State Cowboys Betting Preview

The Cowboys were looking pretty good in late December record-wise, but they’ve been on quite the choppy run since then. Oklahoma State beat Green Bay, St. Thomas MN, Southern Illinois, Miami, Tulsa, Seton Hall, Tarleton State, and Oral Roberts in their first 11 games, losing otherwise to Florida Atlantic, Nevada, and Oklahoma in that time. The Cowboys would hit a 2-7 run in the next nine with wins over Kansas State and Colorado amid losses to Houston, West Virginia, Utah, BYU, Arizona, Texas Tech, and Kansas State. Since then it’s been a 2-1 run with a loss to Houston amid wins over Utah and Arizona State in the latest trio. That gives the Cowboys a 12-11 overall record through their first 23 games of the year.

In the Arizona State game on Sunday, the Cowboys came out of the first half with a 43-33 edge. Oklahoma State hit a 43-40 run the rest of the way and took the eventual win 86-73 in the end. Jamyron Keller led the team on 14 points with four boards and two assists. Both Robert Jennings (five rebounds) and Arturo Dean (six assists) added 10 points in starting roles, while three different bench players chipped in 10 points each as well.

TCU Horned Frogs Betting Preview

Over on the TCU side, they’ve had a choppy year themselves and have barely been able to keep their heads above the .500 mark so far. The Frogs opened on a 7-4 stretch with losses to Michigan, Santa Clara, Colorado State, Vanderbilt, and Arizona. The wins at that time were over Florida A&M, Florida Gulf Coast, Texas State, Alcorn State, Xavier, South Alabama, and Montana State. A 3-6 run came next with wins over only Kansas State, BYU, and Baylor. Otherwise, it was losses to Arizona, Houston, Utah, Kansas, UCF, and Texas Tech. After consecutive wins over Colorado and West Virginia, the Frogs have since taken a loss to Iowa State for a sketchy 12-11 record through their first 23 games so far this year.

Matched up against Iowa State on Saturday, the Frogs hit a 42-24 deficit by halftime. TCU didn’t get any closer than that on a 40-28 second half and lost in a blowout 82-52 by the end of the game. No one on the team finished with double-digit points. Vasean Allette led the starters with nine points, two rebounds, and five assists. Coming off the bench for nine points, three steals, and three rebounds in 19 minutes was Trazarien White.

Why the TCU Horned Frogs will win

  • TCU has won 19 of its last 20 night games at Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena against non-AP-ranked opponents.
  • Oklahoma State has lost each of its last six games at Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena.
  • The home team has won the first half in 10 of Oklahoma State’s last 11 games.

Why the Oklahoma State Cowboys will win

  • TCU has lost five of its last six night games.
  • TCU has lost the first half in five of its last six night games against the Big 12 Conference.

TCU vs Oklahoma State Prediction

I’ll take a stab at TCU here. You could call this one either way, though. The Frogs were blitzed by a good Iowa State team over the weekend, giving up 59.6 percent shooting while posting just 35.8 percent themselves. TCU remained competitive on the boards but also gave up 16 turnovers for 22 Cyclones points along the way. Points haven’t been easy to come by for the Frogs lately. They’ve been below 69 in six straight games—a 2-4 run. If TCU can’t get their offense going Wednesday then they’ll have to control the game with defense.

As for Oklahoma State, they took care of a middling Arizona State team in a comfortable home matchup during their last outing. The Cowboys were solid on the boards (a 46-34 advantage) in that one but also had 14 turnovers for 16 Sun Devils points. Oklahoma State has been above 80 points in each of their last two wins, but below 64 in each of their last three losses. A higher total here will favor the Cowboys.

In this article, we will formulate an Iowa State vs TCU Prediction for this college basketball game on Saturday, February 8th, at the Hilton Coliseum. Let’s take a look at an Iowa State Cyclones vs TCU Horned Frogs pick. 

Iowa State is Suddenly Struggling 

A couple of weeks ago, Iowa State looked like a real contender for the National Championship, and they still might be, but heading into this game, they are really struggling. Iowa State has lost three straight games and none of them have been all that close. Two games ago against Kansas State, they lost 80-6,1 and in the last game against Kansas, they lost 69-52. Iowa State shot only 30.6 percent from the field in the last game and even worse from deep hitting only 14.3 percent of the shots. 

Overall, Iowa State sits with a 17-5 record overall and they have gone 13-9 against the spread. Iowa State is averaging 81.6 points while their defense is giving up 67.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 29th while the defense is ranked 69th. The last few games haven’t been that impressive, though, and they are going to need to bounce back in a way here. Guard Curtis Jones has been the top player for the team, averaging 17.4 points while shooting 43.6 percent from the field and 36.8 percent from behind the three-point line. 

Can TCU Pull it Out?

This hasn’t been the best season for TCU, but they seem to be figuring it out, and they have won two straight games. Two games ago against Colorado they gave up only 57 points on the way to the victory. In the last game against West Virginia, they ended up winning 65-60. Vasean Allette put up 22 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists. Noah Reynolds had a strong game, putting up 20 points and 20 rebounds. 

TCU comes into this game with a 12-10 record overall, and they have gone 8-14 against the spread. The over has hit in only six of the games. TCU is averaging 68.5 points, while their defense is giving up 67.1 points per game. The offense is ranked 309th in the league while the defense is ranked 58th. Noah Reynolds is averaging 12.7 points while shooting 45.7 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from behind the three-point line. 

Why TCU Will Cover the Spread against Iowa State

TCU has won four of its last five day games against the Big 12 Conference.

Iowa State has lost each of its last three games against the Big 12 Conference.

TCU has won the first half in three of its last four day games against Iowa State at James H. Hilton Coliseum.

Iowa State vs TCU Prediction

Give me TCU here. I don’t really trust either of these teams right now, but TCU has shown some signs of life, and they are going to find success here. Iowa State’s defense has been a major issue heading into this game, and they are going to struggle again. Noah Reynolds is going to have another big game here, and that will be enough to keep it close. Will TCU win the game? Probably not. I do believe they will score enough, though, to keep it close, and they will cover the spread.

The West Virginia Mountaineers and the TCU Horned Frogs meet Wednesday in college basketball action from Schollmaier Arena. Here’s a TCU vs West Virginia prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best TCU vs West Virginia pick.

West Virginia Mountaineers Betting Preview

The Mountaineers were looking quite good over their first 13 games or so, but since the calendar flipped to the new year they’ve been pretty choppy in the record column. West Virginia lost to only Pitt, Louisville, Arizona, and Houston during a 13-4 opening run. The wins otherwise came over Robert Morris, UMass, Iona, Gonzaga, Arizona, Georgetown, NC Central, Bethune-Cookman, Mercyhurst, Kansas, Oklahoma State, Colorado, and Iowa State during that time. A losing streak followed versus Arizona State, Kansas State, and Houston in the next three outings, but West Virginia managed to stop the bleeding with a win over Cincinnati this past weekend. The result so far has been a 14-7 overall record through 21 games this year.

In the Cincinnati matchup on Sunday, the Mountaineers came out of halftime with a 40-25 advantage. West Virginia was outpaced by two points from there but still held on for a 63-50 win in the end. Leading the team in scoring was Javon Small with 19 points, nine assists, two steals, and two blocks in 36 minutes of work on the floor. Joseph Yesufu added 16 points and four rebounds in 15 minutes off the bench, while both Amani Hansberry (11 rebounds) and Toby Okani (three rebounds) each chipped in eight points in the victory.

TCU Horned Frogs Betting Preview

Over on the TCU side, they’ve got a couple of pretty good runs in the books so far this year. That said, the Frogs have barely been able to keep their heads above the .500 mark. TCU lost to Michigan, Santa Clara, Colorado State, and Vanderbilt during a 7-4 opening run, otherwise beating Florida A&M, Florida Gulf Coast, Texas State, Alcorn State, Xavier, South Alabama, and Montana State in that time. A 3-3 stretch came next with wins over Kansas State, BYU, and Baylor among losses to Arizona, Houston, and Utah. Since then it’s been losses to Kansas, UCF, and Texas Tech ahead of a win over Colorado. That gives the Horned Frogs an 11-10 overall run through their first 21 games this year.

In the Colorado matchup on Sunday, the Frogs were looking good after the first half with a 34-27 advantage. TCU kept it up from there on a 34-30 stretch and took the victory 68-57 in the end. Tops in scoring was David Punch with 19 points, two boards, and one assist. The only other team player in double-figures was Noah Reynolds with 11 points, six assists, and one rebound. Jace Posey came off the bench for eight minutes to contribute nine points, however.

Why the TCU Horned Frogs will win

  • TCU has won 18 of its last 19 night games at Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena against non-AP-ranked opponents.
  • West Virginia has lost each of its last seven night games against the Big 12 Conference.
  • TCU has won the first half in 19 of its last 21 night games at Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Why the West Virginia Mountaineers will win

  • TCU has lost eight of its last nine night games against the Big 12 Conference.
  • The road team has won three of West Virginia’s last four games.
  • TCU has lost the first half in four of its last five night games against the Big 12 Conference.

TCU vs West Virginia Prediction

I’ll stick with West Virginia. The Mountaineers didn’t have too many issues against a decent Cincinnati team in a road win during their last outing. WVU hit 49 percent from the field in that one, holding the Bearcats to just 31.5 percent on the other side. That said it was a fairly sloppy game overall with the Mountaineers contributing 13 of 27 total turnovers (for 13 Cincinnati points), and they did get out-rebounded 12-5 on the offensive glass. Otherwise, there’s not much to complain about in the win, and it did stop a rough three-game skid. West Virginia isn’t the highest-scoring team in the world this year; they’ve hit fewer than 65 points in six straight (a 2-4 run). As long as the defense holds though, WVU usually has a chance to win.

As for TCU, they’ve been below 62 points in three of the last four games (all three were losses). The Mountaineers shouldn’t have a ton of issues keeping the Frogs honest on the scoreboard, so I like WVU to power one out on Wednesday.

In this article, we will formulate a TCU vs Colorado prediction for this College Basketball game on Sunday, February 2nd at Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this College Basketball matchup.

TCU Horned Frogs Betting Preview

The TCU Horned Frogs are 10-10 (3-6) this year after they lost to Texas Tech by a score of 71-57 in their last game. TCU trailed 32-29 at halftime and allowed 39 points in the second half in the loss. The Horned Frogs shot 35.1% from the field, 27.8% on three-pointers, and 54.5% on free throws in the game. Noah Reynolds led TCU with 14 points and three assists, while Brendan Wenzel added 11 points and three rebounds in the loss. 

Prior to that game, the Horned Frogs lost to UCF by a score of 85-58 and Kansas by a score of 74-61. TCU has lost three games in a row and they are currently near the bottom of the Big 12 standings. TCU has scored 66.7 points per game and they have allowed 68.5 points per game, while also averaging 34.3 rebounds and 11.8 assists per game this season. Noah Reynolds is averaging 12.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game, while Vasean Allette is averaging 11.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game this season. TCU will take on West Virginia after this game. 

Colorado Buffaloes Betting Preview

The Colorado Buffaloes are 9-11 (0-9) this season after they lost to Arizona State by a score of 70-68 in their last game. Colorado trailed 33-26 at halftime, but they did score 42 points in the second half in the loss. The Buffaloes shot 43.1% from the field, 23.5% on three-pointers, and 70% on free throws in the game. Trevor Baskin led Colorado with 19 points and four rebounds, while Bangot Dak added 13 points and six rebounds in the loss. 

Prior to that game, the Buffaloes lost to Arizona by a score of 78-63 and BYU by a score of 83-67. Colorado has lost nine games in a row and they are currently last in the Big 12 standings with an 0-9 record. Colorado has scored 72.6 points per game and they have allowed 72.4 points per game, while also averaging 34.9 rebounds and 15.1 assists per game this season. Julian Hammond III is averaging 13.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game, while Andrej Jakimovski is averaging 10.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game this year. Colorado is shooting 45.7% from the field, 76% on free throws, and 34.3% on three-pointers this season. 

Why TCU will beat Colorado

  • Colorado has lost each of its last 10 games against the Big 12 Conference.
  • TCU has won 27 of its last 30 games at Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena against non-AP-ranked opponents.
  • Colorado has lost the first half in 12 of its last 13 games against the Big 12 Conference.

TCU vs Colorado Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this contest near the bottom of the Big 12 standings, but Colorado is winless in conference play and they are on the road here. The Buffaloes nearly beat Arizona State in their last game and they are shooting 45.7% from the field this year, but they have allowed at least 78 points in three of their last four games. Colorado has lost four conference games on the road so far this season, with three of them coming by at least 10 points. TCU has lost three games in a row and they have scored 61 points or fewer in all three of those games. The Horned Frogs are shooting just 41.3% from the field this year, but they should be able to find success against this Colorado defense. I don’t love either side in this matchup, but I have to fade Colorado on the road. Take TCU to cover at home.

Horned Frogs Lose Back-To-Back Games

Red Raiders Win 4th In A Row

JT Toppin leads the Red Raiders in scoring and rebounding with 16.3 PPG and 8.5 RPG while Darrion Williams has 14.7 PPG with 5.4 RPG and 4.4 APG up to this point in the year.

  • Six of TCU’s last seven road night games against the Big 12 Conference have produced a total of 143+ points.

Texas Tech vs TCU Prediction

I’m on Texas Tech here. I just don’t like the makeup of this TCU team and have a hard time thinking that they’ll be able to compete with Texas Tech in the hardest road environment in college basketball. Texas Tech more often than not has been able to beat up on bad teams at home and I think that even though this is a fairly big number, I still think that Texas Tech bags the win and cover at home here. Give me the Red Raiders.

  • Kansas has lost four of its last five road night games against the Big 12 Conference.
  • Kansas has lost the first half in six of its last seven road games against the Big 12 Conference.

Why the Kansas Jayhawks will win

  • TCU has lost each of its last four night games against AP-ranked opponents.
  • Kansas has won the first half in nine of its last 10 road games against TCU.

TCU vs Kansas Prediction

The Kansas Jayhawks are the more talented team and could blow the doors off, but this also isn’t the Kansas team from past years. The Jayhawks have some chicks in the armor and can be beaten. Heck, Kansas has lost four of its last 10 games, and that includes a loss to West Virginia as a double-digit favorite. The TCU Horned Frogs are 9-1 SU at home this season and are above average defensively. TCU doesn’t get blown out often. Also, the underdog has covered seven of the last 10 games between Kansas and TCU. We know the Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena will be jumping as this is a potential statement game for the Horned Frogs. I want the points.

In this article, we will formulate a Baylor vs TCU prediction for this College Basketball game on Sunday, January 19th at Foster Pavilion in Waco, Texas. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this College Basketball matchup.

Baylor Bears Betting Preview

The Baylor Bears are 11-5 (3-2) this season after they lost to Arizona by a score of 81-70 in their last game. Baylor trailed 42-19 at halftime, but they did score 51 points in the second half in the loss. The Bears shot 48.2% from the field, 30% on three-pointers, and 76.9% on free throws in the game. Robert Wright III led Baylor with 16 points and four assists, while VJ Edgecombe added 14 points and seven rebounds in the game. 

Prior to that loss, the Bears defeated Arizona State by a score of 72-66 and Cincinnati by a score of 68-48. Baylor has won two of their last three games and six of their last eight, and they are seventh in the Big 12 standings. Baylor has scored 81.4 points per game and they have allowed 68.2 points per game, while also averaging 37.7 rebounds and 16.2 assists per game this season. Norchad Omier is averaging 15.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game, while VJ Edgecombe is averaging 12.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game this season. Baylor is shooting 47% from the field, 71.1% on free throws, and 36.4% on three-pointers this year. 

TCU Horned Frogs Betting Preview

The TCU Horned Frogs are 9-7 (2-3) this year after they lost to Utah by a score of 73-65 in their last game. TCU trailed 30-26 at halftime, but they did score 39 points in the second half in the loss. The Horned Frogs shot 37.5% from the field, 35% on three-pointers, and 47.6% on free throws in the game. Vasean Allette led TCU with 19 points and nine rebounds, while Noah Reynolds added 12 points and three assists in the loss. 

Prior to that game, the Horned Frogs defeated BYU by a score of 71-67 but did lose to Houston by a score of 65-46 before that.

Why Baylor will beat TCU

  • Baylor has won each of its last 10 games at Foster Pavilion.
  • TCU has lost each of its last six games against AP-ranked opponents.
  • Baylor has won the first half in each of its last eight home games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Baylor vs TCU Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup pretty much right in the middle of the Big 12 standings, so this is a huge game for both sides. Baylor has struggled on the road this season, but they will be at home, where they play their best basketball. The Bears are shooting 47% from the field and they are scoring over 81 points per game this year. TCU has had issues stringing wins together this season and they are 0-3 on the road this year. The Horned Frogs are shooting just 41.7% from the field and they are scoring 67.9 points per game. Both teams have been pretty solid defensively, but I can’t trust this TCU offense on the road. Take Baylor to win this game easily.

  • TCU has won the first half in 19 of its last 20 night games at Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena against non-AP-ranked opponents.

TCU vs Utah Prediction

The Utah Utes have had issues getting stops at times this season and haven’t had any success outside of their home area. All nine of Utah’s wins this season have come at home. Utah is also 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games. The TCU Horned Frogs have been in a lot of dog fits this season and are just 5-10 ATS on the year. However, TCU has seen all nine of its wins come at home, and it’s fresh off possibly the biggest win of the season, a small upset over BYU. The line is reasonable, as I’d need more points to pull the trigger with Utah on the road. Give me the TCU Horned Frogs in a nice home win on Wednesday night.

The TCU Horned Frogs are averaging 70.5 points on 43.2 percent shooting and allowing 65.6 points on 41.9 percent shooting. Noah Reynolds is averaging 11.8 points and 2.5 rebounds, while Frankie Collins is averaging 11.2 points and 4.4 rebounds.

TCU vs BYU Prediction

The TCU Horned Frogs are getting some love with this line because they’re at home, where they’re undefeated through eight games. BYU has yet to win a road game. However, TCU has also had trouble stepping up in competition and doesn’t shoot the ball well enough to scare good teams. TCU is also 4-10 ATS on the season, which shouldn’t motivated a bettor to run to the window. The BYU Cougars have covered five of their last eight games, and they’re top-60 in both scoring offense and scoring defense. BYU is a better team across the board, and TCU has had issues when that’s the case. I’ll lay the bucket with BYU on the road.

On Monday night, the NCAA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the TCU Horned Frogs and the Houston Cougars. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the TCU Horned Frogs vs. Houston Cougars game let’s review the rules for Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s TCU Horned Frogs vs. Boston College Eagles matchup.

Draftkings NCAA College Basketball Showdown Picks

Captain-Noah Reynolds, Guard, TCU Horned Frogs $9,000

Talented senior guard Noah Reynolds has certainly been a solid player for the TCU Horned Frogs this season. With that said, how has the young guard performed from a statistical perspective in 2024? Let’s review Noah Reynold’s game data from the 2024 NCAA regular season to answer that question.

In the 12 games that guard Noah Reynolds has played for the TCU Horned Frogs in the 2024 NCAA regular season, Reynolds is averaging a robust 11.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 0.8 steals a game.

Looking closer ay the data just presented, in the 12 games that Noah Reynolds has played for the TCU Horned Frogs this season, Reynolds has compiled a field goal percentage of 44.1%, a three-point percentage of 33.3% and a free throw percentage of 66.7%.

More recently, in the Arizona Wildcats 90-81 win over the TCU Horned Frogs one week ago, Noah Reynolds played exceptionally well. Let me be more specific. Reynolds accumulated a whopping 23 points, two rebounds, seven assists and one steal in the Arizona Wildcats victory over the Horned Frogs.

Examining the data just presented more closely, in the Wildcats win over the TCU Horned Frogs, Noah Reynolds tallied a massive 39.1 Draftkings points.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings NCAA showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups for this one game Draftkings slate.

In my view, Noah Reynolds is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this evening’s NCAA regular season game. Having stated that, I am backing Noah Reynolds at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NCAA Showdown contest.

Flex Plays

LJ Cryer, Guard, Houston Cougars $7,400

Houston guard LJ Cryer has been a consistent scorer and shooter for the Houston Cougars, contributing significantly to their success this season. Cryer is known for his ability to score from anywhere on the court and his impressive free throw accuracy.

In the 13 games LJ Cryer has played for the Houston Cougars in the 2024 NCAA regular season, Cryer is averaging 15.1 points, 1.6 rebounds 1.8 rebounds and 0.8 steals a game.

Additional flex plays I like to perform well in this game (Draftkings price noted): Vasean Allette, Guard (TCU Horned Frogs) $8,200: Joseph Tugler, Forward (Houston Cougars) $6,400.

TCU led 27-24 at halftime and they were able to get the win, despite being outscored 38-36 in the second half.

  • TCU ranks 23rd among Division 1 teams for opponent steals per game this season (5.3).

Houston vs TCU Prediction 

Houston comes into this matchup as a pretty big favorite at home and their defense has led the way for them so far this year. The Cougars are allowing just 54.6 points per game this year and they have allowed 55 points or fewer in five straight games. On the other side, the Houston offense is shooting 45.6% from the field and they have scored at least 78 points in three of their last four. TCU has had an up-and-down start to the season, but they did get a one-point win over Kansas State in their last game. The Horned Frogs have also played very strong defense this year, but they are shooting just 42% from the field. I think we are going to see a lower-scoring game in this matchup and I like the under here.

TCU vs Kansas State Prediction 

Kansas State comes into this matchup looking to start conference play with two straight wins, but they will be on the road here. The Wildcats have not played well to start the season, but they picked up a ranked win last time out. TCU has also had issues to begin this season, as they have losses against Colorado State and Santa Clara. The Horned Frogs are shooting just 42.3% from the field this year and their defense has allowed 83+ points in two of their last four. Kansas State does have better offensive numbers in this contest, but they are allowing over 70 points per game this year. I know K-State just picked up a top-25 win, but I can’t trust this team on the road. Take TCU at home here.
