A Metroplex College Basketball Doubleheader Tonight: SMU Hosts Prairie View A&M at Moody, TCU Hosts ULM at Schollmaier
Two home floors, two hours apart across the Metroplex: the Mustangs tip at 7 p.m. in Dallas and the 2-0 Horned Frogs at 8 p.m. in Fort Worth, both still in the opening stretch of the season.
DALLAS–FORT WORTH — Metroplex college basketball fans get a split-city doubleheader on Tuesday night. SMU hosts Prairie View A&M at Moody Coliseum in Dallas, with the event listing putting tip at 7 p.m. CT, and an hour later and 30 miles west, TCU hosts Louisiana-Monroe (ULM) at Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth at 8 p.m. CT on ESPN+, according to TCU Athletics.
TCU comes in 2-0. The Horned Frogs opened their five-game season-opening homestand with wins over Lindenwood on Nov. 2 and Southern on Nov. 6 - Southern had opened its own season with an 85-72 loss at SMU, TCU Athletics' preview noted - and the ULM game is the third of a non-conference slate that stays home through Milwaukee on Friday and a Texas A&M visit on Nov. 19. Under head coach Jamie Dixon, TCU is 54-9 in November, a mark the school's preview carried into the Southern game.
For SMU, the Prairie View A&M visit is the Mustangs' second home date of the young season after the Southern win on opening Monday, and it starts a week that brings Ball State to Moody on Friday. Both programs are building toward conference play that, for TCU, opens at Houston on Jan. 2 under the Big 12 schedule the school published in September. Tonight's finals file on the game-night cadence, within 45 minutes of the final buzzer in Fort Worth.
