Instant Analysis
TCU finished 20th in adjusted defensive efficiency and has an offensive star in Mike Miles Jr., who has the ability to get hot and carry this team. TCU’s only issue in this tournament is its rebounding.
The Horned Frogs will miss Eddie Lampkin Jr. dearly. However, they have enough to get past whichever team they draw here.
