TCU faced a significant, if surprising, challenge from Bucknell Sunday night as they looked to earn a spot in the championship game of the Diamond Head Classic and a rematch with Indiana State. The Bison came out energetic and inspired, riding the hot shooting of Nate Sestina to put the Horned Frogs behind for the first time in three games on multiple occasions in the first 20 minutes.
The situation wasn’t helped when Jaylen Fisher, who hit the game’s first shot with a three ball, picked up two fouls within the first two and a half minutes, forcing him to sit until the final ticks of the first half.
