The TCU men’s basketball team didn’t have the prettiest of starts Wednesday.
The Frogs were careless with the ball. They jacked up 3-pointers. And Sam Houston State jumped out to an early lead.
That changed as the first half wore on and into the second half. TCU played more inspired basketball and eventually rolled to a 82-69 victory over Sam Houston State in the opening round of the NIT on Wednesday night in front of an announced crowd of 3,095 at Schollmaier Arena.
The Frogs will face the winner of Nebraska/ Butler in the second round.
