TCU Horned Frogs Betting Preview

TCU has been quite the choppy team in the record column so far this year. The team can’t quite seem to string together any significant win streaks amid a tough schedule. The Frogs opened things up with a 9-6 overall run, taking losses to Michigan, Santa Clara, Colorado State, Vanderbilt, Arizona and Houston in that time. The wins otherwise were versus Florida A&M, Florida Gulf Coast, Texas State, Alcorn State, Xavier, South Alabama, Montana State, Kansas State and BYU. A 1-4 run came next with a lone win over Baylor among losses to Utah, Kansas, UCF and Texas Tech. Since then the Horned Frogs are 3-1 in their last four with a lone loss to Iowa State. The wins in that quartet came courtesy of Colorado, West Virginia and Oklahoma State. That gives TCU a 13-11 overall run through their first 24 games this year.

In the Oklahoma State matchup on Wednesday, the Frogs went into the second half sporting a 38-31 advantage. TCU was outscored 41-35 the rest of the way but held on for the tight win 73-72. Vasean Allette led the team with 16 points, six rebounds and seven assists alongside one steal. Noah Reynolds added 13 points with eight assists and five rebounds. Micah Robinson also tallied 13 points off the bench along with his four rebounds and one steal in 20 minutes of work. Malick Diallo had 10 points with four rebounds off the bench as well.

Arizona State Sun Devils Betting Preview

Over on the Arizona State side, they were looking quite good as the calendar year flipped over to 2025. Since then however, the Sun Devils have struggled amid some difficult matchups. Arizona State hit a 10-3 opening run in their first 13 outings with losses to only Gonzaga, Florida and BYU in that time. Arizona State otherwise beat Idaho State, Santa Clara, Grand Canyon, St. Thomas MN, Cal Poly, New Mexico, Saint Mary’s, San Diego, UMass and Colorado in that time. Since then the Sun Devils have won just two games over West Virginia and Colorado. Otherwise it’s been losses to Kansas, Baylor, UCF, Cincinnati, Iowa State, Arizona, Kansas State, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. That gives Arizona State an even .500 record through their first 24 games of the year at 12-12 overall so far.

Matched up against Texas Tech on Wednesday, the Sun Devils hit a one-point edge in the first half. Arizona State fought through two overtime periods but ultimately fell just short 111-106 in a tough road defeat. Leading the team in the loss was Adam Miller with 22 points, four rebounds, three assists and one steal. BJ Freeman added 21 points with three assists and three steals. Alston Mason added 16 points with six assists and two steals. Tops in bench scoring was Amier Ali with his 18 points, seven rebounds and two steals in 34 minutes.

Why the Arizona State Sun Devils will win

• The home team has won each of TCU’s last six games.
• TCU has lost five of its last six road night games against the Big 12 Conference.
• The home team has won the first half in seven of TCU’s last eight games.

Why the TCU Horned Frogs will win

• Arizona State has lost each of its last five home games.
• TCU has won 28 of its last 34 night games against non-AP-ranked opponents.
• Arizona State has lost the first half in each of its last four home games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Arizona State vs TCU Prediction

I’m going to stick with Arizona State. All things considered we should have a pretty good matchup here, though. The Sun Devils pushed a good Texas Tech team to the limit in a tricky road matchup during their last outing, eventually shooting a nice 55.6 percent from the floor. Arizona State gave up 57.4 percent shooting on the other side though, along with a 38-27 rebounding deficit and 12 turnovers for 17 Red Raiders points. It was a valiant effort, but ultimately expanded the Sun Devils’ losing streak to four. They’ve posted 70 or more points in each of those games though, so I think Arizona State will notch a solid total here.
