Horned Frogs Set to Battle Longhorns at Moody Center Showdown
As the TCU Horned Frogs prepare to face off against the Texas Longhorns, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from a recent slump. The upcoming game, scheduled at the Moody Center in Austin, will be a crucial test for the Horned Frogs who have shown both resilience and areas needing improvement in their past performances.
In their last game against Oklahoma State's Cowgirls, TCU scored 59 points but fell short as they allowed 67 points. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; notably, their free-throw accuracy stood out with an impressive 84 percent success rate. However, field goal percentages told a different story with only 30 percent from the floor and a concerning 26 percent from beyond the arc.
The previous matchup saw TCU scoring just 50 points against Baylor's Bears – another tough opponent where they struggled with turnovers (19) and had difficulty finding their rhythm from three-point land hitting only 12 percent of those shots. Yet defensively they were strong under the basket recording nine blocks.
However, it wasn't all gloom for TCU; before these two losses was an emphatic victory over BYU's Cougars where they put up an impressive offensive display scoring 81 points. Their field goal percentage was solid at 51 percent overall including an equally impressive performance from three-point range (50 percent). This game also showcased better ball handling with fewer turnovers (6) and a high assists turnover ratio of 3.33 indicating efficient playmaking.
The Horned Frogs will need to channel that winning form when they visit Austin. Playing away could add pressure but may also serve as motivation to regain momentum in front of what is expected to be a vocal crowd at Moody Center.
TCU fans should look forward to seeing if their team can improve on converting possessions into points while maintaining defensive tenacity especially around the perimeter defense which has been leaky in recent games.
Mark your calendars for January 11th at midnight Central Time when TCU takes on Texas Longhorns live on LHN channel number 677 – it promises to be an intriguing encounter as both teams vie for supremacy on court.
