FORT WORTH, Texas (Interstat) — The TCU Horned Frogs, bolstering their NCAA Tournament resume, host the Arizona State Sun Devils in a Big 12 men’s basketball matchup Tuesday night at Dickies Arena. TCU (17-10) enters on a two-game winning streak after a gritty 60-54 victory over West Virginia on Saturday. The Horned Frogs have won four of their last six, largely powered by forward Xavier Edmonds. The standout big man is averaging a double-double over his last seven games, including a 26-point, 10-rebound performance in a win over Kansas State and a 14-point, 13-rebound effort against West Virginia. Arizona State (14-13) looks to rebound from a narrow 73-68 road loss at Baylor, also on Saturday. The Sun Devils have shown resilience, alternating wins and losses over their past six contests. Guard Anthony Johnson has been a consistent offensive catalyst, scoring 20 points in the loss to Baylor and averaging 12.7 points per game in February. The game represents a critical late-season opportunity for both teams. TCU seeks to solidify its standing in the conference and enhance its postseason credentials, while Arizona State aims to climb back to .500 in league play and build momentum for the upcoming conference tournament. Dickies Arena will serve as the home court for TCU in this contest. The Horned Frogs’ defense, which held West Virginia to 54 points, will be tested by Johnson and Sun Devils forward Massamba Diop, who posted a double-double (10 points, 10 rebounds) against Baylor. Following this game, TCU travels to face Kansas State on Saturday. Arizona State returns home to host Utah on the same day.
