In desperate times, TCU basketball delivered.
Nothing was a given for the Horned Frogs -- losers in six of their last seven games -- entering Saturday’s regular-season finale vs. Texas at Frank Erwin Center in Austin. But in the thick of the NCAA tournament bubble, TCU delivered with an emphatic 69-56 win over Shaka Smart’s Longhorns.
Propelled by a career day from junior guard Desmond Bane, the Horned Frogs quickly erased a 6-point deficit with a 19-5 run to end the first half and never looked back, completing the season sweep of the Longhorns and attaining their first road victory in the span of exactly a month.
