Team Notes Courtesy of TCU Basketball

  • The Horned Frogs have won three straight Big 12 games for the first time since 2019-20.
  • TCU’s five-game year-over-year win improvement in league play is its largest as a Big 12 member.
  • TCU notched a 10-game year-over-year overall win improvement for the second time in its 47-season existence.
  • TCU earned its 14th home victory, tied for sixth on the program’s single-season records list.
  • TCU has now kept 21 of its 27 opponents under their season scoring average.
  • Houston became the fifth team this season the Horned Frogs have held under 50 points.
  • TCU is 9-1 when four players score in double figures.
  • The Horned Frogs allowed a program-low 48 points on Jan. 29, 2014, at Oklahoma State. A meaningless Cougars 3-pointer at the buzzer with the Horned Frogs ahead 59-46 is all that prevented TCU surpassing its program record for fewest points allowed in a Big 12 game.
