FORT WORTH -- Come the middle stages of the first half, it was clear that TCU basketball missed Kouat Noi's presence.
Playing without the 6-7 sophomore forward, who rolled his left ankle during practice mid-week, the Horned Frogs, despite a hot start out of the gate, were once again unable to solve Oklahoma. And unlike the three previous meetings Saturday's 71-62 loss wasn't in the tune of a nail-biter, as TCU was unable to take advantage of a Sooners squad that had previously lost five straight games.
Here are three takeaways from the latest edition of Big 12 basketball in Fort Worth, as TCU fell to 5-7 in Big 12 play and dropped consecutive game on home court for the first time all season.
