TCU Horned Frogs

TCU men's basketball announced their non-conference schedule Friday for the 2024-25 season.

The major opponents are:

  • Nov. 15: Michigan (away)
  • Nov. 28: Santa Clara (neutral)
  • Nov. 29: Colorado State/Washington (neutral)
  • Dec. 5: Xavier (home)
  • Dec. 8: Vanderbilt (neutral)

Head coach Jamie Dixon and the Horned Frog staff took a lot of criticism for last year's non-conference schedule as being notably weak.

TCU's best non-conference win last season was against Arizona State, who was ranked just 127th in KenPom at the end of the 2023-24 season.

In BartTorvik, a rankings system now used by the Selection Sunday committee, the Frogs ranked at 233 last year in their non-conference schedule but are now predicted to be at 165 this season.

Being in the Big 12, TCU's complete schedule will always be extremely competitive, so their non-conference does not matter as much as a team in a lesser conference.

Regardless, this improved non-conference schedule will add a bigger opportunity to build their resume for the upcoming campaign.
