The final buzzer sounded, triggering an onslaught of TCU players rushing from the bench Thursday to join teammates in celebrating the highest-profile win in the history of the program.
They embraced freshman Desmond Bane, whose three foul shots with 2.5 seconds remaining provided the margin of victory in a stunning, 85-82 upset over No. 1 Kansas in Thursday’s quarterfinal round of the Big 12 men’s basketball tournament at the Sprint Center.
Guard Brandon Parrish, a senior who set a school record for games played in his TCU career (130) during the contest, punctuated the moment with a salute to fans before offering an emotional assessment of the situation during the postgame news conference.
