TCU missed a chance to play the biggest name on its non-conference schedule last weekend when Maryland lost in the semifinals of a tournament in Florida.
Instead, the Frogs faced St. Bonaventure in the final of the Emerald Coast Classic in Niceville, Fla, on Saturday night.
But all’s well that ends well as TCU won 89-79 to go to 6-0 and extend the nation’s longest winning streak to 11 games going into Wednesday night’s home game against Belmont.
Still, the Horned Frogs, who debuted at No. 23 in the AP poll this week, were likely looking forward to a matchup against the traditional power Terrapins to break up a standard early-season schedule of low- and mid-majors.
