Texas is coming into this game with a 13-2 record overall and they are 9-1 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are also 2-1 in their conference schedule this season as well. They are entering this game off of a win against the Oklahoma State Cowboys in their last game.

The current betting odds have Texas listed as a 6.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas is the 10th ranked team in the country and they have been having a great season so far with a 13-2 record overall. They have been a great home team too with a 9-1 record there, but that 1 loss came very recently to Kansas State and they are likely still upset over it since it is still a fresh loss. They did bounce back from that loss in their last game with a 10 point win on the road against Oklahoma State, but now they are playing their 1st home game since that loss and they will be looking to make up for it with a much better performance on their home court here. TCU has also been having a great season as they are 17th ranked in the country with a 13-2 record themselves and are even 1-0 in their road games. They have still only played 1 road game all season though and now they go into a very tough environment against one of the best teams in the country right now and TCU also just lost their 1st conference game at home in their last one. This is not the best spot for TCU to bounce back from that home loss in and Texas is still looking to bounce back at home from their loss to Kansas State a week ago. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas to cover the spread in this game.

"Obviously, free throws were a little bit of an issue. That's the hole we dug ourselves in." - Jamie Dixon after his team’s loss against Iowa State in their last game.

 

 

"They know that everything was still in front of them. They want to control, you know, what they can control. But they've been working every day, and it's a long season. It's a long season, and we'll have this one for one night. But again, it's been a very resilient group in terms of just really staying the course - staying the course and working the process." - Rodney Terry after his team’s win against Oklahoma State in their last game.
