What to Know
A Big 12 battle is on tap between the West Virginia Mountaineers and the TCU Horned Frogs at 2 p.m. ET Saturday at WVU Coliseum. West Virginia is the slight favorite, but fans of both teams should be in for an exciting contest likely to go down to the wire.
The matchup between the Mountaineers and the Oklahoma Sooners on Tuesday was not a total blowout, but with West Virginia falling 72-59 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. A silver lining for West Virginia was the play of guard Malik Curry, who had 17 points in addition to six boards.
Meanwhile, TCU was close but no cigar on Thursday as they fell 72-68 to the Kansas Jayhawks. Guard Mike Miles wasn't much of a difference maker for TCU; Miles played for 29 minutes but put up just five points on 2-for-12 shooting.
The losses put West Virginia at 14-16 and the Horned Frogs at 19-10. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Mountaineers rank 33rd in college basketball when it comes to takeaways, with 15.3 on average. Less enviably, TCU is 39th worst in college basketball in turnovers per game, with 14.3 on average.
