TCU received a significant reality check Saturday on its road to a potential return to the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.
The Frogs, who hope to reach March Madness for the first time in 19 seasons, were hammered 70-52 by No. 6 Baylor, a team hoping to secure a top seed in this year’s tournament.
Baylor (22-3, 9-3 Big 12) never trailed and built multiple leads in excess of 20 points during the second half while knocking off the Horned Frogs (17-8, 6-6). The loss in the Ferrell Center ended TCU’s three-game winning streak against Big 12 opponents, the school’s longest in five seasons as a league member.
