TCU scored the first points of the game and wouldn’t relinquish the lead for the rest of night.
The Horned Frogs (5-1) shots were falling and their defense stifled CMU (6-2) during an 89-62 rout over the Chippewas on Friday at Schollmaier Stadium.
CMU fell behind their Big 12 opponent 9-22 early in the first half, but after an 8-2 run they were only down by 7. TCU answered the challenge by outscoring CMU 15-2 over the next 3:30.
TCU’s lead was 20 points by halftime thanks in part to an impressive performance from Desmond Bane who recorded 18 points, seven rebounds, and three blocks.
