FORT WORTH, Texas — The TCU Horned Frogs and SMU Mustangs will face each other in men's basketball for the first time in four seasons later this year.

The game's time and television coverage will be announced at a later date, officials said.
TCU finished with a record of 21-13 overall and 8-10 in Big 12 play. SMU finished with a record of 24-9 overall and 13-4 in the American Athletic Conference.
