TCU vs Utah State Prediction
TCU seeks a first-round win in the NCAA Tournament for the third straight season as the Horned Frogs battle Utah State.
The Horned Frogs had a bumpy end to the season by losing six of their final 10 games, capped off by a 15-point setback to Houston in the Big 12 tournament.
The Aggies captured the top seed in the Mountain West tournament by going 14-4 in the regular season. Utah State fell in the semifinals to San Diego State, which ended a 6-game winning streak.
This season, the Aggies ranked 3rd in the country in defensive 3-point percentage at 29%, as they will be tested by this TCU team which shot nearly 39% from downtown in Big 12 play.
Utah State struggled in the underdog role this season by posting a 1-5 SU/ATS mark as the only cover came in an overtime win at Boise State.
The Aggies haven't won a tournament game since 2001 and it looks like the drought will continue here against TCU.
Pick: TCU -4 (-110)
