TCU will play in the West Region of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament as the No. 6 seed against the winner of the First Four game between No. 11 seeds Arizona St and Nevada.

The Horned Frogs went 21-12 during the regular season and lost in the semifinal round of the Big 12 Tournament to the Texas Longhorns.

Fans and media reacted to TCU’s tournament selection with some feeling like TCU got a tough draw.

What a horrible draw. We have our work cut out for us.

Just about worst case scenario seeding. Absolute joke that Iowa St and TCU end up as both 6 seeds. Now have to play big programs round 1 instead of a Drake. If TCU manages to get past Arizona St/Nevada, get rewarded with Gonzaga.

Don't mind that seeding at all, tough round 1 no matter who we get though. Gonzaga would be a hell of a test

Both my Longhorns and my Frogs are going to the #BigDance! Texas gets the #2 seed in the Midwest Region. TCU is the #6 seed in West Region.

Jamie Dixon says he thought TCU was a '5 seed' but likes the fact the team will start in Denver.

Definitely better than Albany or Greensboro

A 25 win power 5 conference runner up getting a 7 seed is a joke. TCU 6 SEED? come on y’all this is so obviously biased it’s not even funny
