TCU played like a team worthy of an NCAA Tournament bid for most of Wednesday night.
The Frogs came out red-hot offensively with its best first half in a couple months, and had a 21-point lead early in the second half. But Oklahoma State had a late charge and took the lead with 26.1 seconds left.
But TCU junior guard Desmond Bane saved the day -- and season -- by knocking down a 3-pointer as the Frogs went on to a 73-70 victory in the Big 12 tournament opener at the Sprint Center.
