Preview: Oklahoma State Cowboys at TCU Horned Frogs FORT WORTH, Texas (Interstat) — A surging Oklahoma State squad looks to continue its strong start to conference play when it visits a reeling TCU team in a pivotal Big 12 matchup Tuesday night at Dickies Arena. The Cowboys (14-4, 3-2 Big 12) enter riding the momentum of a dramatic 84-83 home victory over Kansas State on Saturday, secured on a last-second basket. Meanwhile, the Horned Frogs (11-7, 1-4) are searching for answers amid a four-game losing streak, their latest a narrow 82-79 defeat at Utah. Oklahoma State’s success has been fueled by the consistent excellence of guard Anthony Roy. The standout junior is averaging 20.4 points over his last seven games, including a 23-point performance in the win over Kansas State. His scoring prowess will be central to the Cowboys’ attack as they seek a critical road win. TCU will counter with forward David Punch, a formidable presence in the paint. Punch is coming off a 22-point effort against Utah and has been a defensive anchor, recording multiple blocks in four of his last six contests. His ability to control the interior against Oklahoma State’s Parsa Fallah, who had 17 points against K-State, will be a key battle. The Horned Frogs’ recent skid is particularly painful as each loss has been winnable; three of the four defeats were by six points or fewer, including an overtime loss at Kansas. Defensive lapses late in games have plagued them. Conversely, the Cowboys have shown resilience, bouncing back from a 94-79 loss to Baylor with the tight victory over the Wildcats. Their offense, averaging 82.2 points per game, will test a TCU defense that has allowed 80.5 points per game during its losing streak. This contest, staged at the neutral-site Dickies Arena in TCU’s home city, offers the Horned Frogs a chance to stabilize their season before a daunting schedule continues. For Oklahoma State, it represents an opportunity to solidify its standing in the loaded Big 12 and build momentum for a tough upcoming stretch that includes a rematch with these same Horned Frogs in Stillwater on Feb. 14. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. CST Tuesday.
