What to Know

The TCU Horned Frogs and the #7 Baylor Bears will face off in a Big 12 clash at noon ET Feb. 19 at Ferrell Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

TCU was close but no cigar on Tuesday as they fell 54-51 to the Iowa State Cyclones. One thing holding the Horned Frogs back was the mediocre play of forward Chuck O'Bannon Jr., who did not have his best game: he finished with only seven points on 3-for-10 shooting in his 26 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, Baylor came up short against the Texas Tech Red Raiders on Wednesday, falling 83-73. Guard James Akinjo (18 points) was the top scorer for Baylor.

TCU have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 12 point spread they are up against. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 5-2 against the spread when expected to lose.

The losses put TCU at 16-7 and the Bears at 21-5. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Horned Frogs are stumbling into the contest with the 37th most turnovers per game in college basketball, having accrued 14.5 on average. To make matters even worse for TCU, Baylor comes into the game boasting the 19th most takeaways per game in college basketball at 16.6. So the cards are definitely stacked in Baylor's favor.
