What you need to know about TCU
TCU came out on top in a nail-biter against the Texas Tech Red Raiders this past Saturday, sneaking past 69-66. TCU was down by eight points at halftime but then outscored the Red Raiders 36-25 in the second half. The Horned Frogs can attribute much of their success to guard Mike Miles, who had 26 points along with five steals.
Scoring has been difficult to come by for the Horned Frogs as they rank last in the Big 12 with 63.6 points per game. It's hard to score if you struggle when shooting and TCU is second-worst in the conference in 3P percentage while ranking last in FT percentage. TCU has three players averaging in double-figures, but none of the three are hitting even 30 percent from beyond the arc.
What you need to know about Kansas
Meanwhile, Kansas came up short against the Baylor Bears this past Saturday, falling 80-70. Forward Jalen Wilson wasn't much of a difference maker for Kansas; Wilson finished with only seven points on 2-for-10 shooting in his 38 minutes on the court. Meanwhile, Dajuan Harris Jr. had an even worse performance as the junior guard went scoreless in 31 minutes.
Despite that showing, Kansas is elite offensively, leading the Big 12 in points per game (76.4) and FG percentage (47.8). It also has the conference's leading scorer in Ochai Agbaji whose 20.4 PPG ranks 14th in the nation. One of the senior guard's four career double-doubles came versus TCU during the 2019-20 season when he posted 20 points and 11 rebounds in a win over the Horned Frogs.
