By the numbers, some very unusual things will have to happen for TCU to have a chance tomorrow night. Of the Frogs' ten wins, only eight have come against D1 teams, and of those eight, the "best" win was at home v. Wyoming, a team with an RPI of 197. The other wins were over teams currently with RPIs of 241, 324, 261, 214, 267, 226, and 322.
The Frogs are scoring a paltry 58.9 points per game in league play; BYU is averaging 77.3 points per game in conference, and 85.5 points per game at the Marriott Center.
