The TCU Horned Frogs didn’t make the NCAA Tournament 68-team field, as was expected, and the Horned Frogs awaited their pairing in the NIT field, which was to be announced at 7:30 p.m. Sunday on ESPNU.
But a team that TCU almost beat twice, Kansas State, did get into the NCAA Tournament bracket that was announced Sunday.
The Wildcats were one of the last four teams in. They lost at home to TCU this season and were reeling from a 30-point loss at Oklahoma before coming to Fort Worth.
But the Wildcats began their mad dash into the NCAAs with a narrow 75-74 victory over the Frogs on March 1.
