A back-and-forth second half unfolded in TCU’s favor Tuesday night when guard Alex Robinson made a free throw with 1.4 seconds remaining to lift the Horned Frogs past Texas Tech 62-61 in Schollmaier Arena.
The victory gave the Frogs (17-7, 6-5 Big 12) a three-game winning streak and allowed them to avenge an earlier loss to Texas Tech (16-8, 4-7) in Lubbock. But the ending left a bitter taste in the mouth of Tech coach Chris Beard after Robinson went to the line following contact by Tech guard Keenan Evans as he attempted to drive to the basket on the final possession.
“I think the game should have gone into overtime. Let the players decide the game,” Beard said, choosing his words carefully. “It was just a little bit frustrating at the end, in my opinion. I think this game should have gone to overtime.”
