Bramlage Coliseum -- perhaps better known as the "Octagon of Doom" -- lived up to its name for TCU basketball on the road in Manhattan, Kan., on Saturday, as the Horned Frogs endured a 65-55 loss to Kansas State.
The loss marked TCU's third defeat in a span of four games as the Horned Frogs fell to 13-4 (2-3 Big) on the season, while Kansas State won its third straight contest -- fresh off road wins at Oklahoma and Iowa State -- to improve to 14-4 (3-2 Big 12).
Here are three takeaways as TCU still seeks its first road win in Big 12 play this season.
