Yale @ Texas Christian preview

TCU continues to win games, but second-year coach Jamie Dixon would like to see his Horned Frogs close out those victories stronger. The Horned Frogs have a chance to do that and extend their national-best win streak against visiting Yale on Saturday night.

"We've got to finish games better," Dixon said after Wednesday's 87-76 win against Belmont. "We've got to sustain. We can't give up the layups we did. We had some good stretches. They just kept coming at us." The Horned Frogs, who have won 12 straight dating back to last year's NIT championship run, have single-digit wins against South Dakota and New Mexico and watched Belmont cut a 21-point lead down to seven late Wednesday. TCU and Yale are both playing solid team ball heading into Saturday's meeting. TCU has five players averaging at least 10.3 points to go with 19.9 assists while the Bulldogs have recorded 20-plus assists in back-to-back wins.
