TCU played itself firmly on the NCAA Tournament bubble Monday.
Playing short-handed and without one of its best players, Kouat Noi, for a second consecutive game, the Frogs found themselves in an early hole and couldn’t get out of it despite a couple late rallies.
Oklahoma State prevailed with a 68-61 victory, snapping a five-game losing streak on Monday night at Gallagher-Iba Arena. TCU has now dropped three straight.
“We’re just not getting it done,” TCU coach Jamie Dixon said. “We dug a hole for ourselves and couldn’t get it done. We’re obviously fighting numbers and foul trouble throughout.
