TCU at Utah

January 17, 2026
img2:00 PM Eastern

The Utah Utes have a long history of fielding very good basketball teams, but this year has looked very different. The Utes are currently last in the Big-12 at 0-4, and overall this team has a losing record at just 8-9. Utah has also lost 5 straight games. TCU is 1-3 in conference play but has just done a better job overall as the Horned Frogs are 11-6 on the season. TCU has a scoring margin of +11ppg, and the Utes are at just +1 ppg. I think the Horned Frogs have a clear path in this game, and I'll make the play on TCU.
