TCU Has Not Beaten A Ranked Team On The Road In 20 Years

The TCU Horned Frogs have struggled in conference play, knocking them off the national radar by and large. However, the Horned Frogs can reassert their spot among the best in the country with a road victory over the ranked West Virginia Mountaineers on Monday. The only problem? TCU has not gone on the road and beaten a ranked opponent since the 1997-98 season.

SHARK BITES
  • The total has gone OVER in 12 of TCU’s last 15 games against the Big 12.
  • TCU is 8-40 SU in its last 48 games on the road.
  • The total has gone OVER in 6 of TCU’s last 8 games against West Virginia.

The Horned Frogs finally got the monkey off their back against WVU less than a month ago when they beat the Mountaineers for the first time in 12 attempts. The squad even managed to pick up the victory despite leading scorer Vladimir Brodziansky shooting just 3-for-12 and a dreadful 0-6 from beyond the arc. If the Horned Frogs want to pull off yet another upset, they will need to produce consistently on offense with the team having issues doing so since a season-ending injury to point guard Jaylen Fisher.

West Virginia has hit the skids lately with the team winning just three of its last nine games. A big reason has been the unreliable defensive play. Yes, WVU still produces plenty of turnovers and steals thanks to Press Virginia but that has also led to far too many fouls for Bob Huggins’ liking. In addition, the once high-scoring WVU offense has started to slow, as the Mountaineers have failed to top 77 points in seven of their last 10 outings.
