A lengthy layoff between games didn’t matter. Neither did Jaylen Fisher being sidelined or freshman Kaden Archie hitting the transfer block.
TCU opened Big 12 play with a win, holding off a late charge for an 85-81 victory over Baylor on Saturday afternoon at Schollmaier Arena. The Frogs (12-1) have won nine straight and didn’t show signs of rust despite their last game being Dec. 25 in Hawaii.
Desmond Bane led TCU with 22 points, his fourth 20-point game this season. Alex Robinson finished with 18 points and 10 assists, and JD Miller had 13 points and 10 rebounds.
