2026 Tournament PreviewTCU was shocked with a Quad 4 loss to New Orleans on opening night, but the Horned Frogs bounced back with Quad 1 wins against Florida and Wisconsin before going 11-7 in the Big 12. After a quarterfinal finish in the conference tourney, TCU punched its ticket to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in five years under coach Jamie Dixon. A 6-7 sophomore, David Punch (14.3 ppg, 6.7 rpg) is the leader on both ends of the court, topping a quartet of double-digit scorers and also chipping in two blocks per game for a defense that ranks 22nd in efficiency (per KenPom). The offense struggles at times, often due to a lack of three-point shooting (33.1 percent, 223rd) and poor free-throw shooting (70.8 percent, 243rd). Five TCU players have attempted at least 99 three-pointers, but three shoot less than 32 percent, with 6-7 junior Liutauras Lelevicius (8.4 ppg) leading the group at 39.7 percent. The Horned Frogs will need to get hot to make it out of the first weekend.
