West Virginia Mountaineers vs TCU Horned Frogs 1/31/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The West Virginia Mountaineers will go against the #15 TCU Horned Frogs in NCAAB action in Ed & Rae Schollmaier Arena, TX, on Tuesday, January 31, 2023, at 9:00 PM ET.

This year, West Virginia had a great start, winning 10 of their first 12 games. While the Mountaineers suffered defeats to Florida and Purdue during that stretch, they also triumphed over Pittsburgh and Buffalo.

They lost their first five conference matches because they were unable to carry over their non-conference form into Big 12 competition.

Prior to dropping a close game to Texas, West Virginia was able to secure their first conference victory against TCU two weeks earlier.

With victories over Texas Tech and then-No. 15 Auburn, it recovered. However, the Mountaineers’ record in their last 16 away games is just 2-14.

They are ranked No. 22 in KenPom’s modified efficiency ratings this season due to their great offensive performance. They are No. 28 nationally in offensive rebounding percentage, and their strength was on the offensive glass.

They dealt with some turnover difficulties, which might be problematic while playing against the No. 15-ranked TCU defense.

The Horned Frogs’ defensive field goal percentage and turnover rate are both among the top 25 in the country. Erik Stevenson, a senior guard, tops West Virginia in scoring, rebounding, and assists with 13.9 points, 3.4 per game.

Additionally scoring in double figures are Kedrian Johnson (10.2), Joe Toussaint (10.5), and Tre Mitchell (12.2).

The West Virginia Mountaineers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 matches.
The Mountaineers are 3-6 SU in their last 9 matches.
West Virginia is 16-4 SU in their last 20 games with TCU.

West Virginia Mountaineers vs TCU Horned Frogs Predictions 1/31/2023

TCU had an outstanding start to the season, going 13-1 through its first 14 games. With victories over Texas Tech and Baylor, the Horned Frogs solidified their position as a serious conference contender.

They then proceeded to drop three of their following four contests, losing to Texas, West Virginia, and Iowa State. The only victory for TCU during that run came 2 weeks ago against then-No. 11 Kansas State.

After losing to West Virginia, the Horned Frogs bounced back with victories over No. 2 Kansas and No. 3 Oklahoma before falling to Mississippi State in overtime on Saturday.

Given that their offense ranks 179th in effective field goal % this season, they undoubtedly relied on their defense to win matches (50.4).

TCU is shooting just 29.5% from beyond the arc, so it’s offensive strength was its low turnover rate and excellent offensive rebounding percentage (No. 344).

The West Virginia defense, which is ranked No. 42 in adjusted efficiency, will be tested by the Horned Frogs. Mike Miles Jr., a junior guard, is TCU’s top scorer at 18.1 points, 3.0 assists, and 2.8 rebounds per contest.

Emanuel Miller, a senior forward, adds 12.7 points while Damion Baugh chipped in 13.5 points and 6.5 rebounds.

The TCU Horned Frogs are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 matches.
The Horned Frogs are 14-4 SU in their last 18 matches.
The total went UNDER in 4 of TCU’s last 6 games with West Virginia.

West Virginia Mountaineers vs #15 TCU Horned Frogs. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #15 TCU Horned Frogs.

It’s difficult picturing the Mountaineers winning on Tuesday night since they are 2-14 in their last 16 away matches and are playing one of the greatest defensive teams in the nation.

They are an overpriced club because they only covered the spread 3 times in their previous 11 games. TCU was moving in the opposite direction, covering the spread in its last 16 matches at a rate of 11-4-1.

The Horned Frogs are a difficult team to play with at home because of their defense and crowd, and they won eight of their previous nine home matches. The #15 TCU Horned Frogs will win to a predicted score of 74-70.
