TCU’s against-the-odds journey to secure an automatic berth in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament came to a halt Friday night in the Sprint Center.
The Horned Frogs fell to No. 23 Iowa State 84-63 to end their hopes of securing a Big 12 tournament title. TCU (19-15), which began the event as the No. 8 seed, saw its two-game winning streak in Kansas City disappear despite the double-digit scoring efforts from forward Vladimir Brodziansky (10 points, two rebounds) and guard Jaylen Fisher (10 points, three assists).
The Frogs fell to ISU one day after recording an 85-82 upset of top-ranked Kansas to reach the tournament semifinals for the first time in school history.
