TCU Horned Frogs NCAA Tournament Betting
The TCU Horned Frogs have a star player in Mike Miles Jr. and they are capable of making some noise in the NCAA Tournament. The Horned Frogs played in the toughest conference in the country, the Big 12, so they are battle-tested. TCU will have to wait a little bit to find out who they will play in the first round. The Horned Frogs are the No. 6 seed and they will play on Friday against the No. 11 seed, the winner of the game between Arizona State and Nevada.
If TCU is able to win their first-round matchup on Friday they would likely then face the No. 3 seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs on Sunday. Many people are looking at Gonzaga as a team that could make a run at the Final Four, but TCU has proven they can beat the best teams in the country.

Sixth-seeded TCU was led by Mike Miles Jr.'s 15 points and Chuck O'Bannon's 12 points. For the Horned Frogs, Damion Baugh grabbed 10 rebounds.
