The Matchup
Oklahoma will put the nation's longest home winning streak against non-conference opponents (48 games) on the line against the Horned Frogs, who are coached by a former Sooner.
TCU head coach Neil Dougherty received a master's degree from OU in 1987. He is also a former assistant at Kansas under Roy Williams.
Dougherty's Horned Frogs come into Saturday's game at 4-2, with the losses coming on the road to St. Mary's (75-3) and at home to Texas Tech (70-60) on Wednesday. They hold wins over Centenary, Stephen F. Austin, Texas-Arlington and Grambling State, all at home.
TCU is actually led by one of their bench players, Ryan Wall, who averages 11.5 points per game. One other familiar name on the Horned Frogs' roster is starting forward Kevin Langord, who is the brother of former Kansas star Keith Langford.
