TCU ended its surprising season on a high note by bringing home an NIT championship.

Kenrich Williams, who had been a star all postseason, was at his best to lead the Horned Frogs to an 88-56 victory over Georgia Tech in Thursday's final at Madison Square Garden.

The junior finished with his fifth double-double in as many games during this tournament, totaling a career-high 25 points and 12 rebounds. He averaged 15.6 points, 12 rebounds and five assists during the NIT, including a triple-double in the quarterfinals against Richmond.

Vladimir Brodziansky also had a big night with 18 points, while Alex Robinson filled up the stat sheet with 10 points, 11 assists and four steals to help the squad close the year with three straight double-digit wins.
