A couple of top 25 teams are facing off on Friday, Jan. 17 when the No. 10 TCU Horned Frogs host the No. 23 Utah Utes in a women’s college basketball game at Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.

After a lackluster defensive showing in their win over the University of Central Florida on Jan. 14, the Horned Frogs took their defensive intensity to another level in an 81-73 win over No. 23 Utah Friday night.

BYU will face a familiar foe this weekend as it travels to Salt Lake City to take on the Utah Utes in the first Big 12 basketball matchup between both schools.
