Frogs were going to get a hungry team on the bubble either way. Would have been nice to get revenge on Utah, but BYU has the Utes' number. Watched the 3rd quarter of that game yesterday, when BYU went from 9 down to 8 up. Was shocked at how poorly Utah handled the press.

This TCU team is better than last year's team at handling pressure and turning it into easy baskets. They are using ball fakes and being decisive. I think Campbell has been stressing ball protection overall--the Frogs have averaged under 11 turnovers a game for the last 7 games. They do that today, they will win, unless there's a whistle-happy crew determined to make things interesting.

Keep an eye on the ACC and Big 10 tournaments today. If there are a couple of upsets, Frogs could still have potential to move up to a 2 seed. Pulling for Illinois (over Iowa), Oregon (over Michigan), Clemson (over Duke) and Syracuse (over Louisville).
