Oklahoma vs. TCU: How to watch, odds, picks, final score predictions from ESPN, KenPom
An Oklahoma team that’s 2-5 in Big 12 play heads to No. 11 TCU tonight for a tilt both squads desperately need. Despite their near-top-10 ranking, the Horned Frogs have actually lost three of their last five games and a loss to the Sooners would drop them to .500 in league play through eight games. Meanwhile, Oklahoma is trying to save their season and not drop to 2-6 in the conference. A win at a top-15 team could revitalize the season in Norman for an OU team who’s better than their record.

More on Oklahoma-TCU
As for the matchups on the court, this game will be won or lost most likely in the backcourt. Oklahoma’s star player is their lead guard, Grant Sherfield, while Jamie Dixon has a backcourt that resembles his old Pitt teams — tough, physical, two-way guys — in Mike Miles and Damion Baugh. Both can vacillate between either guard spot and are lethal on the fast break. Avoiding turnovers is a must for Porter Moser’s group, while TCU is just hoping to keep up their hot shooting from this weekend’s smackdown of Kansas in Phog Allen.
Horned Frogs the decent favorite at home and ought to take care of business — though they learned last week in Morgantown that these Big 12 teams at the bottom of the standings are no slouches. Coming up at 8 p.m. on BIG12N and ESPN+, it’s the Horned Frogs hosting the Sooners in a consequential conference tilt for both clubs.
