TCU dug itself out of a quick, early hole against Kansas State Saturday but still trailed by eight at the half.
The No. 24 Horned Frogs (14-4, 2-4 in the Big 12) shot their way back into the game and trailed 38-30 at halftime. Kouat Noi led TCU with seven points. His two 3-points helped pull the Frogs to within 31-28 with 5:32 left. Dean Wade led K-State with 13 points and five rebounds. K-State shot 50 percent in the half; TCU shot 35.7 percent.
The Wildcats (13-5, 3-3), who beat No. 4 Oklahoma on Tuesday, went through a cold shooting stretch during the half after starting out near 70 percent from the field.
