#8 Ohio State vs #9 TCU, Thursday March 19, 1215pm EST, CBS

TCU isn't going to be an easy matchup at all. They are a top-25 national defensive team according to Kenpom. The Horned Frogs have had the 2nd-best steal percentage and 3rd-best turnover percentage D in the Big 12. Obviously one of the keys for OSU in general is avoiding turnovers (and the accompanying fast breaks), and teams that have forced them certainly have given the Buckeyes problems. TCU's flaw? The 16th (aka last-place) effective field goal percentage in the Big 12, with the 14th-ranked FT%, and 15th 2P% & 3P%.

Sounds like every Jamie Dixon team ever. Ugly.
