TCU is going into the Big 12 tournament with momentum. And a much-needed win for its NCAA Tournament dreams.
Junior guard Desmond Bane had a career day, and TCU looked the part of a March Madness-worthy team in a 69-56 whipping of Texas on Saturday afternoon at the Frank Erwin Center.
TCU (19-12, 7-11 Big 12), the No. 8 seed for next week’s Big 12 tournament, will face today’s winner of West Virginia-Oklahoma State at 6 p.m. on Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo.
Texas (16-15, 8-10 Big 12), meanwhile, has an impressive ranking in the NCAA’s new NET system, but is now almost in a must-win situation to secure a spot in the NCAAs.
