Game #16 • Jan. 17, 2007 • TCU (10-5, 2-1) vs. Colorado State (12-4, 2-2)
7 p.m. (CT) • Daniel-Meyer Coliseum • Fort Worth, Texas

Getting Hot
• The Horned Frogs have won three of their last four and six of their past eight contests.
• It's the Frogs' hottest eight-game stretch since winning seven of eight games from Dec. 21, 2004 through Jan. 19, 2005.

Sights Set on 3-1
• The Horned Frogs are looking to move to 3-1 in conference play for just the third time in the past eight seasons. The Frogs also had 3-1 starts in the Western Athletic Conference in 2001 and in Conference USA in 2005.

Back at Home Feels Nice
• After a two-game road swing to Utah and BYU, the Horned Frogs returned to Fort Worth last Thursday afternoon.
• The Frogs spent part of eight of the first 11 days of the calendar year in the state of Utah.
• TCU is in the third game of a six-game stretch featuring four road tilts.

Tough Early Slate
• Entering this year, TCU had an all-time combined record of 7-20 (.259) against New Mexico, Utah and BYU. However, the Horned Frogs won two of the three games.
• Colorado State is the first MWC opponent this year that TCU has a winning record against all time (6-3).

The Horned Frogs Against the Rams
• TCU leads the all-time series 6 games to 3, but has lost two consecutive contests.
• The teams met three times last year, with Colorado State taking two of the three clashes. Each team held serve on its home court by double-figure margins, and the Rams edged TCU, 64-60, in the opening round of the Mountain West Conference Tournament.

Juniors in Class Only
• Four of TCU's top five scorers are members of the Horned Frogs' junior class.
• The quintet of Brent Hackett, Alvardo Parker, Ryan Wall and Neiman Owens has scored 508 of the team's 953 points this season (53 percent).
• The freshman, sophomore and junior classes have combined to contribute 777 of the team's 888 points (87.5 percent).
