Preview: TCU Horned Frogs at UCF Knights OVIEDO, Fla. (Interstat) — A pivotal Big 12 Conference clash with postseason implications is set for Tuesday night when the TCU Horned Frogs visit the UCF Knights at CFE Arena. TCU (16-9) arrives riding a three-game winning streak, most recently outlasting Oklahoma State 95-92 in overtime on Saturday. The Horned Frogs have shown resilience, with all three victories in their current streak coming by four points or fewer. Guard Jayden Pierre has been a catalyst, coming off a 16-point, six-rebound, four-assist effort in the win over the Cowboys. Over his last seven games, Pierre is averaging 11.1 points and 3.1 assists. UCF (17-7) looks to rebound after a 74-67 home loss to West Virginia on Saturday snapped a two-game win streak. The Knights have struggled offensively in their recent losses, failing to reach 73 points in three of their last four outings. Guard Themus Fulks will be central to reigniting the attack. He leads the team in assists and scored 19 points with seven assists against West Virginia, following a 21-point, seven-assist performance in a win over Texas Tech on Jan. 31. The matchup features contrasting trajectories. TCU has found its footing in close games during February, while UCF seeks to stabilize after a 1-3 stretch this month. The Knights won the first meeting this season, 82-77 in Fort Worth on Jan. 3. Inside, TCU’s David Punch (19 points, six rebounds vs. Oklahoma State) and Xavier Edmonds (15 points, 10 rebounds) will battle UCF’s frontcourt, which features Jordan Burks (10 points vs. West Virginia). With both teams jockeying for position in the crowded Big 12 standings and on the NCAA tournament bubble, Tuesday’s result carries significant weight. TCU aims to continue its climb, while UCF hopes to defend its home court and solidify its resume. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST.
