TCU Horned Frogs vs. Arizona Wildcats (South Region) – 9:40 PM EST

The Arizona Wildcats are one of the top seeds in the NCAA Tournament and they’re without starting point guard Kerr Kriisa as they head into a meeting with a darkhorse TCU Horned Frogs program.

Arizona used their two-headed monster of Christian Koloko and Azuolas Tubelis to make quick work of Wright State, 87-70, in the opening round. Benedict Mathurin (18 points) and Daylen Terry (17 points) held their own as well, but TCU is a different beast entirely.

The Wildcats should have the 1-seed put to the ultimate test given what the Horned Frogs bring to the table. The Horned Frogs played a focused brand of basketball in the convincing 69-42 victory over No. 9 seed Seton Hall.
