TCU at Kansas

TCU may be riding an 11-game skid, but they've been competitive when controlling the pace, slowing things to a crawl. They lost to #15 Texas (60-54) as a +9.5 dog, lost 60-54 at Texas Tech as a +10 dog, and lost to West Virginia by 5. They also lost at Oklahoma by 8 points as a +14 dog. They are not a bad road team (3-5) and will be all about defense here with a slow-paced offense. You have to wonder about No. 7 Kansas, coming into this one fresh off an 85-82 overtime loss to Kansas State Monday. Against the Wildcats, the Jayhawks used a 10-1 run in the final 1:53 to force overtime, but couldn't complete the comeback. It was an emotional game, a roller coaster, and they've got Texas Tech, Texas and both Oklahoma schools on deck. Their focus won't be as high for this one, so grab the big slow-down, and defensive dog. Play TCU.
