With a victory in Wednesday’s game, the TCU men’s basketball team would take a big step toward securing the No. 6 seed in the Big 12 conference tournament, March 8-11 in Kansas City, Mo.
The Horned Frogs (17-12, 6-10 in Big 12) meet Kansas State (17-12, 6-10) at 8 p.m. in Schollmaier Arena in a matchup of teams tied for sixth place in the league standings. Because the Frogs defeated the Wildcats, 86-80, in a Feb. 1 meeting in Manhattan, Kan., a win in Fort Worth would allow TCU to sweep the season series and would give the Frogs the tiebreaker over the Wildcats if both teams conclude the season with identical records in conference play.
