Kansas State entered Saturday’s game as arguably the hottest team in the Big 12. TCU couldn’t end that storyline.
TCU had more turnovers than assists, scored a season-low in points and K-State never trailed in a 65-55 victory at Bramlage Coliseum. The Wildcats have won four straight, including the past three over likely NCAA Tournament teams in Iowa State, Oklahoma and now TCU.
The Frogs (13-4, 2-3 Big 12), who entered with the Big 12’s highest scoring offense at 80.4 points per game, managed to stay within striking distance much of the game.
TCU pulled to within 47-43 on a Desmond Bane breakaway layup with 12:24 left, but K-State responded with a 9-1 run to take a 56-44 lead with 6:16 lead.
