Baylor opens Big XII conference play with a difficult game on the road at 3pm CT, broadcast on ESPNU. TCU is unranked, but the Horned Frogs boast an 11-1 record with victories over SMU and USC. Their lone loss game against, oddly, Lipscomb. They rank 25 in Ken Pomeroy’s ranking with a top 40 offense and top 30 defense. Their strengths, unfortunately, seem precisely aligned with Baylor’s weaknesses.
While Baylor fans can hope it’s due to a weaker schedule and a small sample size, the Frogs are holding opponents to 28% from deep so far this year, which is still somehow lower than Baylor’s own conversion rate from three (29%).
