Baylor Bears Set to Tangle with TCU Horned Frogs at Schollmaier Arena

As the Baylor Bears prepare to face off against the TCU Horned Frogs at Schollmaier Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a thrilling encounter. The Bears, coming off a decisive victory over the Oklahoma Sooners on February 14th, where they scored an impressive 79 points and demonstrated their offensive prowess by shooting 55 percent from the field and an outstanding 52 percent from beyond the arc, are looking to carry that momentum into their next game.

The Bears' performance against Oklahoma was a showcase of their ability to dominate both ends of the court. With nine steals and a remarkable assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.2, BAY showed that they could not only create scoring opportunities but also protect the ball effectively. Their defensive efforts were equally impressive, forcing turnovers and converting them into 22 points.


However, it wasn't just one game that highlighted BAY's strengths; their season has been marked by consistent performances. Even in a tighter contest against Kansas Jayhawks on February 10th where they scored fewer points (61), they still managed to maintain solid two-point (55 percent) and free-throw percentages (71 percent). This resilience is what makes BAY such a formidable opponent.

Looking at TCU's recent form provides insight into what could be expected in this matchup. While Baylor boasts high-scoring games with efficient shooting percentages across multiple contests, TCU will need more than home-court advantage if they hope to stifle BAY's dynamic offense.


The upcoming clash is not just about offense; it’s about which team can assert its style of play over the other. The Bears have shown time and again that they can adapt and thrive under pressure – something that will undoubtedly come in handy when playing in enemy territory.

With all eyes on February 26th at Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth at 8:00 PM CT, fans should mark their calendars for this must-watch game broadcasted nationally on ESPN channel 206. It’s here where we’ll see if Baylor can continue its dominant streak or if TCU can rise up and defend its home court with vigor worthy of collegiate basketball’s finest competition.
