After failing to top the TCU Horned Frogs in two tries during the regular season, the Texas Longhorns did just that on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden, smothering TCU defensively en route to a 58-44 win to advance to the NIT Final on Thursday.
Prior to that effort, the action on the floor featured the Wichita State Shockers and the Lipscomb Bison in a mid-major battle that saw the Bison battle back down the stretch, erasing an 11-point second-half deficit and capping the game on a 21-3 run to advance to the NIT Final, where they’ll now meet the 20-16 Longhorns.
