FORT WORTH, Texas — TCU went into Big 12 play undefeated, with the nation’s longest winning streak and its first top 10 ranking ever.

A tough start in conference play hasn’t changed coach Jamie Dixon’s outlook for his team. While the Horned Frogs have lost four of their five Big 12 games, the last two were in overtime on the road.

“I feel good about the team we are. There’s no doubt in my mind about our team that we’re good,” Dixon said. “We’re the most disappointed ranked team probably in the country at this point. I guess that’s good. I don’t know if you get any points for that, but that’s where we are.”

Despite a three-game losing streak, the No. 24 Horned Frogs (13-4, 1-4 Big 12) are still ranked after voters apparently took into account that the four losses are by a combined 11 points. TCU is also 25th in the USA Today coaches poll.

“There are 351 teams. A lot of them would like to be where we’re at,” said Dixon, in his second season at his alma mater after 11 NCAA Tournaments in 13 seasons at Pittsburgh. “We’re playing in the toughest league in the country. We’ve had a very tough stretch.”

The Frogs return home Wednesday night against Iowa State (10-6, 1-4).
