The Numbers:
| Texas Tech | Statistic | TCU |
| 28 | K.P. Rank* | 52 |
| 114.0 | Offensive Efficiency* | 106.3 |
| 86.5 | Defensive Efficiency* | 87.5 |
| 66.7 | Points Scored | 84.8 |
| 29.8 | Rebounds | 49.8 |
| 13.8 | Assists | 17.3 |
| 16.2 | Turnovers | 14.3 |
Keys to the Game:
- Slow Down the Frogs: Over 80 points a game? Is Billy Tubbs still the head coach. Granted, most of TCU's opponents have been less than impressive, but scoring over 80 a game is nothing to sneeze at. Look for the Texas Tech defense to rebound after their disappointing effort against Butler.
- Dominate the Frogs: The Horned Frogs might be one of the better teams in a relatively weak non-conference schedule and it would nice to see our Red Raiders dominate what appears to be an inferior opponent.
- Control the Boards: I know, I have to stop focusing on rebounding and I promise I'll stop, at least for a game, but how could I refuse to notice the rebounding advantage that TCU holds statistically over Texas Tech? A 20 rebound advantage means that Cook, Roberts, Singletary and whoever else plays needs to control the boards.
