After an impressive effort tonight at Madison Square Garden, the TCU Horned Frogs will be playing for the NIT Championship this season.
Things looked good to start for the Frogs as JD Miller threw down a dunk on the opening possession, but TCU couldn’t get shots to fall and found themselves down 10-4 at the first media timeout. The Frogs kept it close and were only down 18-15 but back-to-back threes gave the Knights a 24-15 lead. TCU kept trying to reduce the gap, but UCF knocked down some timely threes and took a 7-point lead into the final media timeout of the half.
