Utah State vs. TCU Analysis

The Mountain West’s struggles in the NCAA Tournament are well documented, and TCU is not a team you want to face in this setting. The Horned Frogs are extremely physical and are sure to beat up the Aggies.

Great Osobor could be an issue for the TCU frontline, but it’s seen plenty of elite big men in the Big 12 and should be well prepared.

TCU will be the best non-MWC opponent USU has faced all season, and the Aggies won’t have the luxury of one of the best home-court advantages in the country.

Look for TCU to wreak havoc on USU ball handlers and cover the spread.
