Because of a seven-game losing streak, TCU’s most realistic path to a berth in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament rests with winning the title at this week’s Big 12 conference tournament in Kansas City, Mo.
The Horned Frogs were assigned 50-1 odds Monday by Bovada Sports Book in their quest to make that happen, joining Texas with the second-longest odds of any school in the 10-team field. The upside?
TCU (17-14) received better odds than Oklahoma (11-19), the Horned Frogs’ opponent in Wednesday’s opening-night matchup at the Sprint Center. The Sooners were given 75-1 odds to win four games in four days and claim the automatic berth into the NCAA tournament field given to the Big 12 tournament winner.
