As we approach the midpoint of conference play, let's take a closer look at some teams rising up the rankings thanks to their defense.

TCU came up short once again in Lubbock as they fell to No. 22 Texas Tech 71-57. A common thread in these losses has been the poor shooting. That continued on Wednesday as the Frogs shot 5-18 (27.8%) from beyond the arc and 12-22 (54%) from the free throw line.

Texas owns a 23-2 lead in its all-time series with Missouri. The Longhorns and Tigers have played once since Missouri left the Big 12 for the SEC.
