▪ ABOUT KANSAS STATE (15-16): The Wildcats have won three games away from Bramlage Coliseum, but one of them came at the Sprint Center against Texas A&M in December. K-State played with energy and made shots that night. Marcus Foster led K-State to a home victory over TCU earlier this season, but he had no impact during a loss in Fort Worth. Weber is 2-2 at the Big 12 Tournament. He guided the Wildcats to the final in 2012 and lost to Iowa State in the quarterfinals last year.
▪ ABOUT TCU (17-14): The Horned Frogs have lost four of their last five, but all of those setbacks were competitive. They defeated K-State in their last meeting 69-55 in Fort Worth behind strong games from Washburn and Fields. Trent Johnson has clinched a winning season for TCU, and the Horned Frogs will be contenders for a bid to the NIT or CBI, depending on what happens at the Big 12 Tournament. TCU has never won a game at the Big 12 Tournament.
