Game Time: 8:00 PM CDT | Location: Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena – Fort Worth, TX | TV: ESPNU | Series: TCU leads 8-2 | Game Line: TCU -14
The TCU Horned Frogs (20-13) were left out of the NCAA Tournament this season, but their status as a first 4 out team has landed them a #1 seed in the NIT and a date with the Sam Houston State Bearkats (21-11). It was a painful exclusion for the Frogs, who were on the right side of the bubble in nearly every projection the day before. On the bright side, the Frogs get another chance to play in Fort Worth and a clear path to a second NIT title in the Dixon Era.
