TCU vs Colorado WBB. 466. . 28-3, 16-2 Big 12. 1:30 P.M. CT. 20-11, 9-9 Big 12. 514. ESPNU. Friday, March 7

After beating Baylor on Sunday, the TCU Horned Frogs clinched the number one seed and a two-round bye in the Big 12 Championship tournament. After two rounds, the Horned Frogs finally found who they would play in their first game of the tournament: the Colorado Buffaloes, whom they already beat once this year, 63-50.

The Buffaloes will be led by a trio of Frida Formann (12.5), Jade Masogayo (12.1), and Lior Garzon (10.9), who are the only players to average more than ten points per game. Masogaya and Sara-Rose Smith are the only players who average more than four rebounds per game, with 4.9 and 5.8, respectively.

Colorado is accurately represented as the ninth seed. They are ninth in points per game, scoring defense, and steals while being tenth in rebounds per game. The strength of the Buffs has been their efficiency in team field goal percentage, ranking fifth in the conference with 46% of their shots going in.

The Frogs will look to dominate the boards and get out to a fast and strong start in this one. The Buffs are bottom four in the conference in 3-point field goals made against them this season, which bodes well for the Horned Frogs, who have lived beyond the 3-point arc this season.
