TCU’s turnaround season in men’s basketball may or may not end with a return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 19 years.
But it will conclude without a regular-season victory over a Top 25 opponent.
That became clear Saturday when the Horned Frogs fell to No. 12 West Virginia 61-60 at Schollmaier Arena. The setback marked the fifth consecutive loss for the Horned Frogs (17-12, 6-10 in Big 12), the team’s longest slide of the season.
It stands as the season’s most gut-wrenching defeat because it hurt the team’s March Madness hopes while ending in controversial fashion.
