Anderson, a talented guard for the Horned Frogs, has been instrumental in their recent success. In their previous three games, Anderson showcased his skills with an impressive performance. He averaged 7 points, 3 assists, and 2 rebounds per game. His shooting percentages were also noteworthy, with a field goals percentage of 33%, free throws percentage of 100%, and three-point percentage of 33%.


But Anderson isn't the only player making waves for TCU. Xavier Cork, Chuck O'Bannon, and Trevian Tennyson have also been key contributors to the team's success. Cork displayed his versatility on the court with an average of 9 points and 2 rebounds per game. O'Bannon's defensive prowess was evident with 1 block and 2 steals per game. Tennyson showcased his playmaking abilities with an average of 3 assists per game.


On the other side of the court, the UCF Knights will be looking to make their mark in this matchup. Led by Ibrahima Diallo and C.J. Walker, they have shown great potential in their previous games. Diallo's shot-blocking skills have been impressive, averaging 2 blocks per game. Walker has been a force on the boards with an average of 8 rebounds per game.


In terms of team performance over the past three games, both TCU and UCF have had their fair share of ups and downs. TCU has shown strength in their shooting percentages, particularly from beyond the arc, with a three-point percentage of 33%. UCF, on the other hand, has struggled with their shooting percentages but has excelled in areas such as steals and blocks.


As the game approaches, it's clear that TCU's success will heavily rely on the performance of Anderson and his teammates. If they can continue their strong shooting and defensive efforts, they have a good chance of securing another victory. However, the Knights won't go down without a fight. Diallo and Walker will be key players to watch for UCF, as they look to disrupt TCU's offensive rhythm.


Basketball fans can catch all the action live on ESPN+ starting at 4:00 PM CST. With both teams hungry for a win, this matchup promises to be an exciting battle on the court.
