The TCU men’s basketball team showed its scheduling flexibility on Sunday.

Once the Horned Frogs learned that Texas Southern had backed out of a game scheduled for Wednesday night, they found a replacement opponent in Prairie View A&M. Tip-off remains set for 7 p.m. at Schollmaier Arena. The game will air on Big 12 Now on ESPN+.

Texas Southern also had to cancel its game against LSU, which had been scheduled on Dec. 24, due to COVID concerns.

TCU is off to a 7-2 start. Following Wednesday’s game, TCU will return to Big 12 action with a game at Kansas State on Saturday.
