TCU has a conference record of 2-10 which has them ranked ninth in the Big 12. The Horned Frogs are looking to break a five-game losing streak and will come to Kansas with an 8-14 overall record. Last weekend, TCU dropped two matches to No. 6 Baylor in four and five sets.
Kansas leads the all-time series 15-4 over TCU, with the first meeting between the two programs dating back to 1999. The Jayhawks dropped the first meeting with TCU and the two teams never met again until 2012 when TCU joined the Big 12.
