I don't post many predictions this time of year, but my disdain for TCU is like great french fries: Extra salty.
What my brain sees is a team that gets up and down the floor pretty similarly to Texas Tech. I also see a team that plays decent-to-average defense a lot of the time. They are an average passing team, an average rebounding team, and very averagely settle (or maybe lazily look for) three pointers.
They are an average team, just a team of guys coached by a guy.
Unfortunately for them, being average in the Big 12 is a relegation to the second division - which is right where TCU finds themselves.
What I don't see for TCU is scoring. Average defensive teams who can't score often find themselves on the wrong side of the ledger when the final horn sounds, and that's what I expect to see tonight.
All the pressure is on Texas Tech because this is a game Tech should win. Just looking at offense, Texas Tech is beyond what TCU can do right now. Maybe TCU heats up and shoots the lights out and gets a win tonight - but that's the only way they are getting a win. The Horned Frogs are going to hoist up plenty of three point attempts and if enough of them slop in then TCU could win - they have a puncher's chance.
When you live by the jumper you don't live often, and I anticipate a methodical win tonight for Tech. Tourney quality teams don't lose home games to teams likeUCF TCU. So get focused Red Raiders and come out with some fire, don't let these goofs hang around and by all means if you get up 18 points dig deep for your inner Larry Bird and continue to step on that neck. Don't kick them in the teeth then offer them a hand up, instead kick them in the teeth then kick them in the teeth some more. Take their lunch money, kiss their girlfriends, cast aspersions upon the moral character of their NIL-less cheerleaders. Beat them, beat them more, then beat them real good.
