TCU is playing well winning four of six but isn't getting any respect with this betting number. They lost by 10 at Michigan and covered as a +14.5 underdog two games ago at Arizona in a 90-81 loss. TCU plays good defense for Jamie Dixon. They rank second in the Big 12 and 13th nationally in 3-point defense (27.7% shooting allowed) and are 48th nationally in turnover margin at +3.2. Of TCU's 38 wins over AP Top 25 teams, 23 have come under Dixon. Houston also plays great defense, No. 1 in the country in points allowed. TCU has won three of the past five meetings with the Cougars. TCU upset No. 2 Houston a year ago, 68-67, as an underdog. In another fierce defensive duel, back the big dog. Play TCU.
