Previous: 8th. Horned Frogs . 8. team. 466. . 9-5 (2-4)

Previous Games: 82-46 loss to Oklahoma, postponement vs. West Virginia

Next Games: Wednesday vs. Texas Tech and Saturday vs. Texas.

The trend in teams missing games continues with TCU. After getting throttled by Oklahoma, TCU would postpone their Saturday game, making it a trio for the conference. That game is planned on being re-scheduled.

Prior to that, TCU suffered their worst loss in over four years in conference play. TCU shot just 35 percent from the floor. They missed 15 three-pointers and shot 21 percent from the free throw line.

It did not get better for the Horned Frogs as they coughed up the basketball 16 times to the Sooners. TCU had one player in double figures as RJ Nembhard finished with 10 points. After an encouraging first half against Baylor last Saturday, they could not replicate the success.

The Horned Frogs have been outscored 122-67 in the last three quarters. They have been held below 50 points in back to back games.

Sooners . 7. team. 464. . 7-4 (3-3). Previous: 6th

Previous Games: 82-46 win to TCU, postponement to Oklahoma State.

Next Games: Tuesday vs. Kansas State, Saturday vs. Kansas.

Oklahoma had no sense of struggle with TCU as they handled the Horned Frogs. De’Vion Harmon led the way for the Sooners. He made four 3-pointers and game-high 22 points in the game.

The Sooners shot 46 percent from the field and 44 percent from beyond the arc. They secured the ball well, only giving it away five times to 20 assists. It was a complete game for the Sooners and one that can build momentum.

The first Bedlam game of 2021 was postponed after Oklahoma State paused their team activities. They plan on preparing for Kansas State and building a resume for the NCAA Tournament.
