A lot can happen between now and Selection Sunday in the college basketball world.
But if the NCAA Tournament bracket was released today, TCU would be a part of it based on projections released Wednesday by USA Today. The publication projects the Horned Frogs (17-7, 6-5 in Big 12) as the No. 8 seed in the West Region, with a March Madness matchup against No. 9 seed Minnesota (16-7, 4-6) in San Jose, Calif.
TCU is placed in the same four-team bracket grouping with Gonzaga (24-0), the nation’s lone remaining undefeated team and one of four teams projected as top seeds in the tournament.
