Midwest Round of 64: (8) Utah St. vs. (9) TCU
William Purnell-USA TODAY Sports
Tip-off: March 22 at 9:55pm ET
This is one of the more interesting Round of 64 matchups in the Midwest. TCU is a very athletic team and has three players averaging 11 points or more — led by forward Emanuel Miller. The Horned Frogs have stumbled a bit ahead of the tournament (3-5 over their last eight), while Utah State finished 8-2 over its last ten. The Aggies finished atop a competitive Mountain West and are led by a forward who can stand up to Miller. Great Osobor led the Aggies in scoring (18.0 PPG), rebounding (9.2 RPG) and blocks (1.5 BPG). This game will go down to the wire, but TCU will seal the win with a late three.
Prediction: TCU wins 73-69
