Make no mistake, TCU had its best chance of the season to upset a highly-ranked opponent against No. 12 Texas on Wednesday at Schollmaier Arena.
But the Horned Frogs (10-10, 2-7 Big 12) missed no fewer than six makeable shots inside, most of them layups, over the course of the 77-69 loss to the Longhorns. In a game in which TCU slowed down the pace against what has been a stampeding Texas offense, limited their turnovers to 16 and outscored the Longhorns (15-4, 9-0) 21-5 at the free thrown line, the missed bunnies accounted for the difference in the final score and left the Horned Frogs scrambling, behind just a handful of points for most of the night.
