TCU’s turnaround season in men’s basketball may or may not end with a return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 19 years.
But it will conclude without a regular-season victory over a Top 25 opponent.
That became clear Saturday when the Horned Frogs fell to No. 12 West Virginia 61-60 in Schollmaier Arena. The setback marked the fifth consecutive loss for the Horned Frogs (17-12, 6-10 in Big 12), the team’s longest slide of the season. It represents another missed opportunity for a signature victory that would aid the team’s efforts to secure an at-large bid to be a part of March Madness for the first time since 1998.
