LAWRENCE, KS – TCU (19-9, 8-8) has hit the road and will have a rematch with Kansas (236, 12-4) not even 48 hours after they upset No. 6 Kansas in Fort Worth on Tuesday night.
The Frogs are making a run for the tournament and everyone’s eyes are wide open as TCU has upset two back-to-back top 10 teams and it’s the first time that has happened in program history.
Jamie Dixon and his team were making a run for the NCAA Tournament and they needed to secure at least one win in their final week of play and they have now won two games, two games that no one expected they could win.
TCU brought the heat on Tuesday but they are going to have to bring a wildfire on Thursday night to Lawrence. The Jay Hawks are going to want revenge and the game is on their home turf, where TCU has yet to ever win a game.
The Frogs were led by Mike Miles on Tuesday. He had 19 points, one rebound, and six assists. Miles had 45 points combined in the two upset games that has led TCU to the first NCAA tournament appearance since 2016.
TCU did a phenomenal job on Tuesday night in two categories: rebounding and team effort. The Frogs are ranked fourth in the country in rebounding and they proved that on Tuesday night. They crashed the boards all 40 minutes and came out on top out rebounding the Jay Hawks 47-35 which was a huge reason TCU won.
The Frogs also had great team effort in the fact that 10 players scored for the Frogs and 25 points came off the bench.
You’re not going to want to miss this matchup on Thursday night as both teams will be going at it for another victory. But it is March right?
Tip off is 7 PM.
