ANALYSIS:
TCU is a moderately good team, capable of testing many an opponent that they'll encounter. They have a record of 23-14 and are ranked 34th overall (out of 353) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the 10 schools in the Big 12 (average ranking 35.3), they're currently ranked as our #7 team in the conference.

TCU will mainly try to find success through their defense. They are ranked 31st in defensive efficiency and allow fewer than 95 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. TCU does an outstanding job shutting down the opposition from behind the arc. They rank ninth in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 29.6% of their attempts from afar. TCU is also a superior unit when it comes to preventing opponents from getting to the foul line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 20.93 vs. AO, they are currently rated 17th in the country in that category.

TCU plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 53rd nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 110 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. TCU does an outstanding job finishing any scoring chances they obtain from offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 8.6% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked ninth nationally). TCU will also routinely look to penetrate, pound the ball inside, and score from as short a distance as possible. The ball-club is 21st in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to get to the inside, they are undoubtedly capable of making you pay. Presently rated in the top-100 in near-proximity shooting percentage, they make roughly 62.5% of their attempts from short-distance vs. AO. TCU is lastly one of the best field goal shooting teams that opposing defenses will have the displeasure of facing this season. The squad is ranked 25th in the country in field goal percentage, making approximately 47.6% of their attempts vs. AO.

TCU is one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 46th in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location.

CURIOUS TRENDS:
When facing teams that are likely to allow more second chances off of offensive rebounds, TCU often performs better than normal. TCU is more efficient than usual 72% of the time when facing teams that have a defensive second-chance potential point rate vs. AO greater than 13.66. In their other contests, TCU performs better than the norm 16% of the time.
TCU does worse vs. clubs that are more proficient at draining the mid-range shot. When playing squads that have an offensive mid-range field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 38.22%, TCU performs above average 8% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 63% of the time.
TCU performs better against squads that allow a higher number of conversions off of the offensive glass. When facing teams that have a defensive second-chance conversion percentage vs. AO greater than 5.23%, TCU is more efficient than normal 63% of the time.
