The TCU Horned Frogs and the Arizona Wildcats meet in an NCAA tournament second round matchup in college hoops action from the Viejas Arena on Sunday night.

The TCU Horned Frogs booked their spot in the second round by virtue of a 69-42 dismantling of Seton Hall last time out. Mike Miles led the charge for TCU, scoring 21 points on 9 of 18 shooting while Damion Baugh had 14 points on 5 of 9 shooting with a team-high 6 assists. Emanuel Miller had 10 points with 3 steals to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for TCU this season while Chuck O’Bannon Jr. had a team-high 6 rebounds.

The Arizona Wildcats punched their ticket to the second round with an 87-70 win over Wright State last time out. BEnnedict Mathurin led the Wildcats with 18 points on 7 of 18 shooting with 4 threes while Christian Koloko was right behind with 17 points and a team-high 13 rebounds with 6 assists as well for the double-double. Dalen Terry had 16 points on 6 of 8 shooting with 7 rebounds and 4 assists and Azuolas Tubelis had 13 points on 6 of 8 shooting. Pelle Larsson added 11 points with 3 threes to cap off the scoring in double figures for Arizona in the win while Justin Kier added 8 points with 6 assists of his own.

TCU is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games and 18-7-3 ATS in their last 28 games overall while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600. Arizona is 4-10 ATS in their last 14 neutral site games and 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 NCAA tournament games while the over is 6-0 in their last 6 games following an ATS loss.

Kudos to TCU For shutting down Seton Hall and looking absolutely dominant in that game, but the problem here is that Seton Hall isn’t half the team that the Wildcats are as many have this Arizona team having enough to go to the national championship game. I just don’t think TCU has the horses to hang with Arizona for a full 40 minutes so give me Arizona by double digits.
