While much attention was focused on the TCU football team’s College Football Playoff Semifinal contest against Michigan, TCU men’s basketball also played on New Year’s Eve, tipping off the Big 12 Conference schedule with a home game against unranked Texas Tech. Despite trailing 37-26 at halftime, TCU rallied during the second half, attacking the basket and playing strong defense as the Horned Frogs upended the Red Raiders 67-61. Now ranked No. 17 nationally, TCU (12-1, 1-0 Big 12) will face No. 19 Baylor on Wednesday night.
Mike Miles led the scoring charge for the Horned Frogs, finishing with 23 points on 7-of-12 shooting while eclipsing 1,000 career points for his collegiate career.
