Utes and Horned Frogs Seek End to Losing Streaks
17 Jan
Summary
- Utah has a five-game losing streak, including four Big 12 games.
- TCU lost three straight after holding leads against ranked teams.
- Utah struggles with rebounding and scoring defense in the Big 12.
Utah and TCU, both mired in losing streaks, are set to clash on Saturday in Salt Lake City. The Utah Utes are enduring a five-game losing streak, which includes all four of their Big 12 Conference games played thus far. Their performances in these initial conference matchups have largely been uncompetitive.
Meanwhile, TCU has experienced a more frustrating string of three consecutive losses. Coach Jamie Dixon expressed disappointment, noting missed opportunities in recent games against nationally ranked opponents like Kansas and BYU, where the team held second-half leads. Dixon highlighted a need for better execution down the stretch and improved rebounding.
Utah's struggles extend to their defense, which ranks last in the Big 12 in points allowed per game (81.1). They also possess the conference's worst rebound margin. Despite these weaknesses, the Utes feature strong individual performers like Terrence Brown, who leads the team in scoring, assists, and steals. TCU is led by David Punch in scoring and rebounding, with three other teammates also averaging double figures.
