To earn another home game as an NIT participant, TCU (20-15) must prevail on the road in Sunday’s game at Iowa (19-14) in a second-round matchup. For the Horned Frogs, victories away from Fort Worth have been hard to come by during the Big 12 era but have become a more common commodity this season.
TCU is 6-9 when playing away from Schollmaier Arena, marking the Frogs’ most successful mark in five seasons as a Big 12 member, heading into Sunday’s contest in Iowa City, Iowa (4 p.m., ESPN2). Included is an 85-82 upset of top-ranked Kansas during the Big 12 tournament in a game played less than a one-hour drive from the KU campus in Lawrence, Kan.
