TCU Horned Frogs vs Iowa State Cyclones 2/15/2023 Picks Predictions Previews
The #22 TCU Horned Frogs will go against the #19 Iowa State Cyclones in NCAAB action in James H. Hilton Coliseum, Iowa, on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, at 9:00 PM ET.
Despite its difficulties over the past two weeks, TCU is still ranked. They lost four of their previous five games overall and three straight going into this one, so they are aware that they need to end their current losing streak.
The Horned Frogs are still a strong contender for the tournament, but after a promising start to 2023, they need to find a way to turn things around.
This season, TCU had difficulty traveling, as seen by their 3-5 record in genuine away games. Going to Iowa State is another away game that proved difficult for the Horned Frogs to win in recent years.
They’ll aim to repay the favor on Wednesday after losing at home in their first match with the other team this season.
TCU’s balance on both sides of the ball contributed to their success this season, and while neither side drew much attention, neither does it show any weaknesses.
They are 73rd in scoring and 98th in scoring defense, but against the Cyclones, they’ll need to be strong on the glass.
They would appreciate their prospects in this one if they had a clean bill of health, but given the injuries noted earlier, they might find it difficult to get going.
Damion Baugh (13.2 ppg) and Emanuel Miller (12.9 ppg) are expected to shoulder the load in this game, but if they want to pull off the upset, they will undoubtedly need a stopper.
- The TCU Horned Frogs are 1-4 SU in their last 5 matches.
- The Horned Frogs are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games with Iowa State.
- TCU is 8-3 SU in their last 11 matches against Cyclones.

TCU Horned Frogs vs Iowa State Cyclones Predictions 2/15/2023
A few weeks ago, Iowa State appeared to be the Big 12’s top team, but as March Madness approaches, questions are starting to arise after a two-game losing streak and four losses in their previous five matches.
Although three of those five contests were away from home, this team’s confidence was probably affected by the final loss, which occurred at home.
Despite having a 12-1 record at home this year, they will be hoping that Saturday’s game was an aberration rather than the beginning of a downward trend.
The Cyclones will be pleased that they can build on their victory over TCU earlier this season and on the road as well, but completing a season sweep of an NCAA Tournament team will never be easy.
Iowa State, which ranks 18th in the nation for scoring defense and 30th for defensive rebounding, will need to maintain its excellent defensive play.
Particularly recently, the offense became much more worrisome. They are ranked 212th in scoring, though some of that can be attributed to their slower tempo; also, they barely score on second chances.
The current troubles make sense once poor free-throw shooting is taken into account.
Despite having a quality trio of guards, Jaren Holmes (13.5 ppg) is likely to be the one to take the initiative in this matchup as the captain of this group.
- The Iowa State Cyclones are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 matches.
- The Cyclones are 1-4 SU in their last 5 matches.
- The total went OVER in 11 of Iowa State’s last 15 games with TCU.
#22 TCU Horned Frogs vs #19 Iowa State Cyclones. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #19 Iowa State Cyclones.
The Cyclones recently struggled on their own, so playing TCU at home is the ideal chance for them to turn things around.
Without Miles in the lineup, the Horned Frogs will continue to struggle, and now that there are further uncertainties surrounding Lampkin Jr., TCU’s depth will be too thin for them to keep up with Iowa State in this contest.
The Cyclones continue to have one of the top defenses in the Big 12, and despite their small offensive issues, they will win this game if they can play solid defense.
TCU is also 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last five away games against teams with winning home records, according to covers.com. The #19 Iowa State Cyclones will win to a predicted score of 72-64.
