Preview
FORT WORTH, Texas (Interstat) — Two teams jockeying for postseason position will meet when West Virginia visits Texas Christian in a pivotal Big 12 Conference matchup Saturday at Dickies Arena. The Mountaineers (16-10, 6-7 Big 12) and Horned Frogs (16-10, 6-7) enter with identical records, having split their last 10 games. Both are coming off midweek road losses, adding urgency to this contest as the regular season enters its final stretch. West Virginia looks to rebound from a 61-56 home loss to Utah on Wednesday. The Mountaineers have relied on a balanced attack, with guard Chance Moore providing consistent scoring. Over his last eight games, Moore is averaging 10.6 points, including a 12-point effort against the Utes. He will need support from backcourt mate Honor Huff, who also scored 12 in the loss. TCU is seeking to stabilize after a 82-71 defeat at UCF on Tuesday. The Horned Frogs are powered by forward Micah Robinson, who is averaging 14.4 points over his last seven contests. He poured in a team-high 20 points in the loss to the Knights. TCU’s offense has shown high potential, scoring 95 points in an overtime win at Oklahoma State last Saturday and 97 in a road victory at Baylor last month. The game will be played at a neutral site, Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, despite TCU being designated the home team. Both squads have shown resilience, with West Virginia posting a key road win at Cincinnati and TCU securing close home victories over Iowa State and Kansas State this month. Defensive intensity will likely dictate the tempo. West Virginia has held three of its last five opponents under 65 points, while TCU’s conference wins have often been tight, low-possession affairs. A win for either team would provide a crucial Quadrant 1 victory for NCAA Tournament résumés and break the current logjam in the middle of the daunting Big 12 standings. Tip-off is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026.
