Top-10 moment: TCU basketball hits highest rank ever in AP Top 25
TCU is a Top-10 basketball team.
For the first time in school history, that became a true statement when the Horned Frogs appeared at No. 10 in the AP Top 25 on Monday.
It’s the highest ranking ever in the sport for the Frogs (12-0), whose previous high was No. 13 on Feb. 23, 1998. They were No. 15 last week and No. 14 two weeks ago.
TCU is on a school-record 17-game winning streak that includes the last five games of last season en route to the NIT championship.
The Frogs are one of three remaining undefeated teams in the country, alongside No. 1 Villanova and No. 3 Arizona State.
TCU begins Big 12 play on Saturday against No. 12 Oklahoma (10-1), which is led by the national scoring and assist leader Trae Young.
