Texas Tech is one of the best defensive teams in the country. TCU is hoping to be known as a defensive-minded program.
But the Frogs got a first-hand look at what an elite defense looks like on Monday night. Texas Tech just needed one half to put the game out of reach.
They forced the Frogs to make a season-low eight field goals in the opening half, including 2 for 10 from 3-point range. They forced the Frogs to commit eight turnovers, which led to 18 points. All of it led to TCU scoring a season-low 27 points in the opening half and facing a 16-point deficit at half.
