The First Four is behind us and the Field of 64 for March Madness is now set. With two 11-seeds riding the momentum of a First Four victory into the Round of 64, they may be enticing picks to pull off upsets.

Arizona State will look to be that team when it takes take on 6-seed TCU. The Sun Devils made quite the statement in the First Four, using a dominant first half to cruise past Nevada 98-73. TCU last played in the Big 12 Tournament semifinals, where it suffered a close loss to Texas.

TCU is an experienced team with multiple all-conference performers. Metrics favor the Horned Frogs, who are battle-tested and have one of the best defenses in college basketball.

TCU vs. Arizona State prediction

If you’re a fan of defenses, this is the matchup for you — both TCU (20th) and Arizona State (29th) have top-30 defenses.

For the Horned Frogs, it starts with Mike Miles Jr., an all-conference performer who leads the team in scoring with 17.3 points per game, including nine games of 20-plus points. TCU’s record in those games? It’s 8-1.

After Miles, TCU boasts a balanced attack, with two other double-digit scorers in Damion Baugh and Emanuel Miller. The Horned Frogs love to turn defense into offense and make the most of transition opportunities.

Chuck O’Bannon Jr. is an X-factor. He scored 22 points in the Horned Frogs’ Big 12 Tournament win over K-State.

Arizona State is led by brothers Desmond and Devan Cambridge, who joined forces for their final year of college basketball.

They two of several key perimeter performers for the Sun Devils, who also lean heavily on Frankie Collins and DJ Horne. Warren Washington, a 7-footer, anchors the defense on the interior with 1.7 blocks per game.

There’s no rest for the weary, as Arizona State takes the floor in Denver on Friday after playing in Dayton on Wednesday night. Friday marks a week since TCU’s last game, bringing the rest vs. rust discussion to the forefront.

Given the defensive profile of both teams, the Sun Devils’ rhythm could be a factor if rest proves to help the Horned Frogs get going early, especially considering their tendency to get out in the open floor.

If Arizona State is fatigued, it may have its work cut out as it will need to make things ugly and limit TCU’s transition opportunities.

History of 6 vs. 11 matchups in NCAA Tournament

Since the NCAA Tournament expanded to 64 teams, 6-seeds are 91-57 against 11-seeds. History gives TCU a 61.5 percent chance of advancing past Arizona State in the Round of 64.

Recent history hasn’t been as kind to 6-seeds, which are 3-5 against 11-seeds over the last two tournaments. Last season, 11-seed Notre Dame earned a First Four win before upsetting 6-seed Alabama.

Below is a breakdown of the wins 11-seeds have enjoyed over 6-seeds over the last 10 tournaments.
