TCU turned back the clock and turned up the heat in the Horned Frogs’ pursuit of an NCAA Tournament berth Saturday at Schollmaier Arena.
The Horned Frogs knocked off Texas 78-63 to complete the first season sweep of the Longhorns in 30 years by the men’s basketball program.
Led by a team-high 18 points from forward Vladimir Brodziansky, the Horned Frogs (16-7, 5-5 Big 12) broke open a one-point game over the final 14 minutes, 14 seconds and posted their first double-digit victory against a Big 12 opponent under new coach Jamie Dixon.
Mix in the TCU football team’s 31-9 triumph in Austin in November and Saturday marked the first time for the Horned Frogs to sweep the Longhorns in football and men’s basketball in the same school year since 1958-59.
