Arizona will seek its 16th consecutive win to start the 2025-26 season at TCU on Saturday. TCU is playing its first game since losing a nine-point lead with just over a minute left in regulation in a 104-100 overtime loss at Kansas on Tuesday.
Like Arizona, TCU has excellent balance with six players averaging at least 8.7 points per game. TCU does not have a lot of size, with no one in their rotation taller than 6'8. After scoring a career-high 25 points on Wednesday versus Kansas State, Motiejus Krivas should be a player to watch against TCU.
Sophomore forward David Punch leads TCU, averaging 14.4 points per game, 7.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.6 assists. Despite their lack of height, TCU is a respectable 84th nationally with a 5.2 rebounding margin.
Arizona enters the game with TCU with 10 consecutive wins by 19 or more points. That is the longest streak since Duke won 10 in a row in 2003-04. Duke finished the 2003-04 season 31-6 and lost to Connecticut in the National Semifinal.
