TCU Horned Frogs Set to Battle Houston Cougars at Schollmaier Arena

As the TCU Horned Frogs prepare to host the Houston Cougars at Schollmaier Arena, fans can anticipate a game where recent trends and statistics will play a significant role. The TCU Horned Frogs have shown a varied performance in their recent games, indicating both strengths and areas for improvement that could influence the upcoming matchup.

In their last three outings, the Horned Frogs have displayed an impressive offensive capability. In a high-scoring affair against Old Dominion Monarchs, they put up 111 points with an efficient field goal percentage of 55 percent and were particularly dominant in points in the paint with 50. Their two-point shooting was strong at 63 percent, but turnovers were an issue as they gave up possession 15 times.

However, consistency has been a concern for TCU. In their semifinal game against Nevada Wolf Pack, despite maintaining a solid two-point field goal percentage of 54 percent and excelling at free throws with an accuracy of 91 percent, they fell short by scoring only 68 points due to lower overall field goal shooting (46 percent) and committing more personal fouls (23), which may have disrupted their rhythm.

Defensively, there's room for growth as well; while they managed to secure more rebounds than Nevada (30 compared to Nevada's 25), it wasn't enough to secure victory. Against Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors in what was still an ongoing match by halftime data available, TCU led narrowly by two points but showed weaknesses from beyond the arc with no free throw attempts made yet and lower rebounding numbers compared to previous games.

The upcoming game's venue is familiar territory for TCU – Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth – which could provide them with home-court advantage. The team will need to capitalize on this familiarity while addressing inconsistencies seen in past performances if they are going to overcome the challenge posed by Houston Cougars.

Fans can catch this exciting encounter on January 13th at local time on ESPN channel number 206. With both teams looking to assert themselves early in the year, it promises to be an engaging battle worth watching.
