Recent Trends


The TCU Horned Frogs have been showcasing resilience and strategic gameplay in their recent outings. Despite a tough loss against Iowa State, where they scored 52 points against Iowa State's 82, the team demonstrated significant prowess on defense with 10 steals and managed to draw 11 fouls. However, their shooting accuracy was a concern as they only converted 36 percent of their field goals and struggled from beyond the arc with a mere 14 percent three-point shooting percentage.


In contrast, their performance improved markedly against West Virginia Mountaineers and Colorado Buffaloes. Against West Virginia, TCU emerged victorious with a score of 65-60, improving their field goal percentage to 42 percent while maintaining strong defensive play with six blocks. Their game against Colorado further highlighted TCU's ability to capitalize on turnovers, scoring an impressive 28 points off turnovers which contributed significantly to their win (68-57).


Key Factors for Victory


For TCU Horned Frogs to secure victory against Oklahoma State Cowboys, maintaining high defensive pressure will be crucial. The team's ability to force turnovers and convert them into points has been instrumental in past wins. Additionally, improving shooting accuracy from both inside the paint and beyond the arc could tilt the game in their favor.


Home court advantage at Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena cannot be understated; playing in front of home fans has historically bolstered TCU's performance through increased morale and support.


Fans can catch this thrilling encounter scheduled for February 12th at 7:00 PM EST on CBS Sports Network. As both teams vie for dominance on court, it promises not only strategic depth but also sheer determination from every player involved.
