Kansas opens its Big 12 tournament defense sans Josh Jackson against TCU, who defeated Oklahoma in their Big 12 tourney opener 82-63. I am a horrible bracketologist, but I get the sense TCU would need to beat Kansas as well as whomever their semifinal opponent would be to make the NCAA tournament.
TCU has the 6th ranked offense in the league (and 9th ranked defense, nice) scoring 1.03 points per trip. While I care obviously very little about the Big 12 tourney, I do care that TCU is last in the league at getting to the free throw line, which coupled with KU’s refusal to put teams on the line (mostly), means we should have a pretty quick game.
