TCU and Texas Tech have come up with new plans to play two games this upcoming week with inclement weather forcing Monday’s game in Fort Worth to be postponed.

The Big 12 announced that TCU will play at Texas Tech on Tuesday and host Tech on Thursday due to oncoming weather in and around Fort Worth. Tip-off times and TV information is to be announced.

TCU had been scheduled to host Tech on Monday night, and play in Lubbock on Wednesday. TCU said tickets and parking issued for Monday’s game will still be valid for Thursday’s rescheduled date.

Tech hoped to travel to Fort Worth on Saturday, but those plans didn’t come to fruition. The Red Raiders never took off on Sunday either.

But officials are happy with the idea of getting both games in this week.

Monday’s game in Fort Worth was the makeup date for a Jan. 20 game in Fort Worth postponed due to COVID-19 issues within TCU’s program.

The Horned Frogs are 11-8 overall and 4-6 in the Big 12. They are searching for their first victory over a ranked team this season after falling to 0-5 in those situations in a losing effort Saturday at Texas.

Tech is ranked No. 7 in the country and is 14-6 overall and 6-5 in the Big 12.

TCU and Tech split the season series last year with each program winning its home game.
