What to Know
TCU and the Red Raiders are an even 5-5 against one another since January of 2019, but not for long. Both teams will face off in a Big 12 battle at 9:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday at United Supermarkets Arena. TCU pulled off an upset win in their last outing, and are hoping to pull that off once more against the 5.5-point favorite Red Raiders.
