NEW YORK, NY - It wasn’t meant to be. After watching Lipscomb rally from an 11 point deficit, and see the Frogs’ get within five, there was a buzz in the building that said “maybe, just maybe”. But TCU Basketball couldn’t score when it counted, and Texas did just enough to keep a comfortable margin down the stretch and earn a spot opposite the Bisons in Thursday night’s NIT Championship game.
Things started slowly for the Horned Frogs, as they scored a scant 17 points in the first 20 minutes of play. Maybe it was the lighting, maybe it was tired legs, maybe it was the Texas defense - but whatever it was, it ended in a 7-25 start from the floor.
