SAN DIEGO—Instead of cats and dogs, it’ll be Wildcats and Horned Frogs.
Ninth-seeded TCU ran away from No. 8 Seton Hall in the second half, winning 69-42 in their NCAA Tournament first round game at Viejas Arena. That sets up a matchup Sunday against No. 1 Arizona for the right to go to the Sweet 16.
The Wildcats (32-3) last played TCU (21-12), losing 63-48 at a holiday tournament in Dallas. This will be Arizona’s first NCAA game against a Big 12 school since beating Texas in the second round of the 2011 tournament.
TCU won its first NCAA tourney game since 1987 by shooting 50.
