K-State Basketball Aims to End Losing Streak vs. TCU
7 Feb
Summary
- Kansas State faces TCU on February 7th, seeking a key conference win.
- TCU has shown inconsistency, with notable wins and losses recently.
- Kansas State's success hinges on strong 3-point shooting performance.
Kansas State basketball is set to visit TCU on Saturday, February 7th, with an opportunity to end their current losing streak and clinch their second Big 12 win of the season. The Wildcats have lost their last three games and have not secured an away victory since December 13th. TCU, conversely, has exhibited a puzzling inconsistency, achieving impressive road wins against Oklahoma State and Baylor, but also suffering substantial defeats, including a recent 26-point loss to Colorado.
Kansas State's path to victory against TCU may rely on their proficiency from beyond the arc. The Wildcats have found success in Big 12 play when they effectively utilize three-point shooting, having hit 12 and 15 threes in past conference games. TCU's defense has shown vulnerability, having allowed a season-high 11 three-pointers in their recent loss to Colorado. This suggests a potential area for Kansas State to exploit.
The game is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, and will be broadcast on TNT. While TCU is ranked higher in some defensive metrics, forcing turnovers and blocking shots, their overall performance has been unpredictable. This matchup presents a critical opportunity for Kansas State to regain momentum in their conference schedule.
