The TCU Horned Frogs are one of the hottest teams in the Big 12 and battling to get off the NCAA Tournament bubble when they roll into Lubbock to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

TCU's Xavier Edmonds is the team’s biggest glass-eater, and my TCU vs. Texas Tech predictions and college basketball picks call for Edmonds’ extra looks to power him past his points prop on Tuesday, March 3.
