The TCU men’s basketball team saved its NCAA March Madness chances with a late-season surge, defeating both Texas Tech and Kansas before scoring a second-round victory against Texas in the Big 12 Conference tournament. The Horned Frogs finished 20-12 after a semifinal loss, but were rewarded with a No. 9 seed in the South Region of the NCAA Tournament. TCU will face No. 8 seed Seton Hall out of the Big East Conference.
Seton Hall (21-10, 11-8 Big East) arrives in the tournament with a 7-3 record over its last 10 games despite falling against Connecticut in the quarterfinals of the Big East Conference tournament.
