TCU’s turnaround men’s basketball season moved one step closer to an NIT championship Tuesday night in Madison Square Garden.
The Horned Frogs knocked off Central Florida 68-53 to secure a berth in Thursday’s championship game against Georgia Tech. TCU rallied from a double-digit, first-half deficit behind a 26-5 surge during the middle stages of the contest, with much of the heavy lifting coming from forward Vladimir Brodziansky (18 points, 9 rebounds) and guard Kenrich Williams (14 points, 14 rebounds), who contributed his 18th double-double of the season.
TCU improved to 23-15 and will face Georgia Tech, a 76-61 winner over Cal State Bakersfield in Tuesday’s early game, for the NIT title.
