The Horned Frogs Against the Cougars

• TCU is 1-1 against BYU in Fort Worth after suffering an 81-72 defeat last year in Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.
• The 10-game series has featured three winning streaks of at least three games. BYU won the first three games, TCU claimed the middle three meetings and the Cougars have won the past four.
• No game in the series has been determined by fewer than nine points.
• The average margin of victory in the series is 15.5 points.
The Earlier Meeting This Season
• BYU shot lights out in an 89-64 victory in Provo exactly one month ago.
• The Cougars drained 14 3-pointers and shot nearly 60 percent from the floor.
• TCU trailed 48-23 at halftime before being outscored by just one, 41-40, in the second stanza.
• It was the first conference loss of the season for the Frogs, who began the MWC slate 2-0.
A TCU Win Would...
• Put TCU's overall record within one win of the .500 mark and earn a split of the season series.
• Give the Horned Frogs their third league victory of the season, surpassing last year's total.
• Snap the Frogs' season-long eight-game losing streak and four-game home losing skid.
Two Tough
• TCU is in the second game of a four-game stretch that features three road contests.
• The Horned Frogs' two opponents this week have a combined record of 383-11 (.776). The UNLV Runnin' Rebels are 20-5 (.800), while the BYU Cougars are 18-6 (.750).
One Month Ago
• TCU and BYU met exactly one month ago. Heading into that game, the Horned Frogs were 2-0 in league play, while the Cougars were 1-0.
• BYU was TCU's third opponent of the MWC, and the Frogs are playing the Cougars in the third game of the second half of the MWC schedule.
