The TCU men's basketball team will travel to Salt Lake City in an attempt to earn its first win since Jan. 12. Tipoff is set for 9 p.m. Tuesday at Utah's Huntsman Center.

The Frogs (10-18, 1-12 MWC) are hoping to rebound from their 79-56 loss to No. 7 Brigham Young University (25-2, 11-1 MWC) on Saturday.

If Cavaliers can beat Kobe, maybe the Frogs can beat Utah

Published Feb 21, 2011

After making history with a 26-game losing streak, the Cleveland Cavaliers seem to be turning things around. The Cavaliers defeated the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers 104-99 just before the NBA All-Star break to amass their second win in the last three games.

The torturous website, didthecavswin.com, will finally stop attacking Cavs fans with a large, bolded "NO" and will hopefully have a GIF file of LeBron James shaking his head "YES."

Regardless, former all-stars Mo Williams and Antawn Jamison can finally taste victory again.
