TCU trailed by six with 3:14 left to play before the Frogs would go on 7-0 run to close out the contest. Senior Brendan Wenzel, who made his first appearance since Dec. 5, fired home a crucial 3-pointer to cut the Wildcat lead to just one with 1:17 remaining.

Even though the Wildcats gave their fans reason to hope for a mid-season turnaround when they upset No. 17 Cincinnati earlier this week, it’s worth pointing out that game was played in front of a friendly crowd inside Bramlage Coliseum.

After an encouraging performance on the road in its Big 12 opener at Arizona earlier this week, the TCU men’s basketball team returns to Schollmaier Arena on Saturday seeking to get its first conference win of the season against Kansas State.
