In a sloppy game that saw the teams combine for 27 turnovers, TCU took down Illinois State 81-69 in its last outing. Four players on the Horned Frogs scored in the double digits: guard Desmond Bane (23), center Kevin Samuel (15), guard Jaire Grayer (15), and guard RJ Nembhard (10). Bane leads all TCU scorers on the year with 18.7 points per game and has been strong on the glass as well with 7.6 rebounds per contest.

Meanwhile, USC picked up a 77-62 win over Harvard in its last game. USC can attribute much of its success to forward Onyeka Okongwu, who dropped a double-double on 27 points and 14 rebounds. The 6-foot-9 freshman has been an impact player early in the season, averaging 17.9 points and nine rebounds per contest.
