The game started as a defensive battle, but only one team held up the pressure in that aspect past the first few minutes.
For a while, it looked like TCU was going to hang tough with #18 Texas Tech in Lubbock, but too many turnovers turned in to too many easy opportunities for the Red Raiders, who took advantage of their opportunities to jump out to a big first half lead.
The Horned Frogs struggled shooting the ball through the first 20 minutes; TCU was led by two Chuck O’Bannon threes, but the rest of the team was 0-6 from behind the arc and shot just 36% from the field.
