Projected seed: 10

TCU's season features some peaks worth noting, especially a gutsy win against a highly-touted Houston team, indicating they can hold their own against the best. Their Big 12 play was a mixed bag but they secured impressive road wins at Baylor and managed to split with Iowa State. The narrow loss at Kansas also shows they're competitive in hostile environments. However, those highlights are weighed down by the losses to lower-ranked Big 12 teams and a soft non-conference schedule, which doesn’t help their case much. The team's offense can be potent, but a less consistent defense could be a liability against the offensive powerhouses in the tournament. The Frog's resume suggests they're capable of pulling off an upset, indicative of a middle seed, but also susceptible to an early exit if they can’t shore up on defense.
