“Welcome to Big XII Basketball”. That was Jamie Dixon’s message to open his post game press conference after the Frogs’ 81-78 win over Baylor in Waco, one that did not disappoint in entertainment value but left a few things to be desired after TCU nearly let a double digit lead go for naught for a second straight game. But tonight, they were able to overcome a lost lead and a deficit, and turn it into an all-important road win.
TCU had to learn how to close games. That was the charge coming out of Saturday’s disappointing home loss to Oklahoma, and they took a solid step forward to doing just that on the road Tuesday, winning for the first time in Waco since 2002 and defeating the Bears for the first time since 2005.
