The TCU basketball team is back in line to play a full 18-game Big 12 schedule.

The Horned Frogs had to postpone their opening two conference games due to COVID issues within the Frogs program, but those games have been rescheduled.

The TCU at Kansas game originally scheduled for Jan. 1 will be played on March 3 at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas. And the TCU-West Virginia game originally scheduled for Jan. 3 will be played Feb. 21 at Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth.

Tip-off for both games is set for 7 p.m. and both will be broadcast on ESPN+, the Big 12’s streaming service.

TCU said fans who purchased tickets for the West Virginia game Jan. 3 may use the same tickets for the Feb. 21 game. The Feb. 21 date gives TCU a home game between road games at Baylor (Feb. 19) and at Texas (Feb. 23).

TCU has lost four of its last five games against West Virginia.

With the March 3 date for the KU game, TCU will play the Jayhawks in consecutive games. The teams are scheduled to meet March 1 in Fort Worth.

TCU has lost eight straight to KU with the last victory coming in the 2017 Big 12 tournament. The Frogs are 1-9 against the Jayhawks in Fort Worth, and 0-10 in Lawrence.

TCU (11-2, 1-1 Big 12) is coming off a road victory at Kansas State on Wednesday night. The Frogs return home to take on Oklahoma at 3 p.m. Saturday at Schollmaier Arena.
