Kansas vs. TCU Basketball Predictions

While Kansas may not look like the Kansas of old in 2024-25, the team has found multiple ways to win. Their stellar backcourt, led by Dajuan Harris and Zeke Mayo, continues to shine on a nightly basis, while All-American center Hunter Dickinson continues to play at an All-Conference level. He is fresh off of a game-high 25 points against in-state rival Kansas State.

 

On the other side of the court, TCU, despite being outscored 428-400, has found a way to cruise to a 3-3 record in league play. Their three wins over Kansas State, BYU, and No. 25 Baylor have been by a combined eight points. The Horned Frogs have found a way to contend in each game this season, with the lone exception coming against No. 12 Houston, 65-46.

The biggest statistical difference in the game comes when dealing with TCU’s offense and Kansas’ defense. The Jayhawks check in as the league’s best-scoring defense, surrendering just 63.5 points per game, while the Horned Frogs are currently dead last in scoring offense with just 68.3 points per game.
