TCU enters this game with a season record of 17-8 and a conference record of 6-7. They’re one of the best teams in a tough league, but they fared far better outside of it this season. Texas is rated 20th in the country, with a 19-8 overall record and an 8-6 conference record. Last time out, Texas beat TCU by 23 points, so we’ll see if it occurs again on Wednesday night. Both clubs have lost recently, thus only one will be able to rebound tonight.

TCU’s Chances Of Covering The Spread
Three Horned Frogs score in double figures on a regular basis. Mike Miles leads the club in scoring with 14.7 points per game, although he only shoots 36% from the field. Emanual Miller, a forward, is their more reliable option, averaging 10 points on 50 percent shooting this season. He’s also appeared in each of the year’s 25 games. Because Texas is a very excellent defensive team, TCU needs those two to perform well tonight, as well as Damion Baugh. Texas is spearheaded by their defense, which allows just 57 points per game on average. Both teams average 68.4 points per game, so it will be up to TCU to keep Texas from disrupting their rhythm. This season, TCU is (14-9-2) against the spread.
Why Texas Might Be Able To Cover The Spread
Texas will rely on their defense to keep them in the game tonight. Because the Longhorns lack a No. 1 offensive option, they’ll have to rely on a team effort to cover this spread. Timmy Allen leads the squad in scoring with 11.7 points per game, followed by Andrew Jones and Marcus Carr, all of whom score slightly over ten points each game. As most would expect, Allen is their best player, shooting 52 percent from the field and grabbing 6.4 rebounds a game. If the Longhorns hope to cover the 9.5-point spread, he’ll have to play a big role tonight. This isn’t going to be a simple game, but they did just beat them nearly two months ago. TCU hasn’t performed well in a while, thus I anticipate Texas to dominate for the most of this game.
However, they are merely (12-15) ATS this season. They don’t appear to be able to cover, but they’ve had a challenging schedule this season. They’ll be just 3.5 games off of first place in the Big-12 if they win today.
Final TCU-Texas Prediction & Pick
Texas seems to be struggling against the spread, but they have played six of their past seven games against ranked opponents. This squad understands how to defeat a strong opponent, and after beating TCU by 23 points earlier this season, I believe they can beat them by at least ten today. Take Texas to cover the spread at home, where they have a 15-2 record.
Final TCU-Texas Prediction & Pick: Texas -9.5 (-110)
The “tcu vs texas prediction” is a college basketball game that will be played on January 10th. The winner of the game will go to the NCAA Tournament.
