GoFrogs: TCU Drops Home Contest to Texas
FORT WORTH – TCU saw an early first half lead slip away in the early moments of the second half and the visiting Texas Longhorns would go on to defeat Horned Frogs, 77-67, Wednesday evening at Ed & Rae Schollmaier Arena.
TCU and Texas split the season series, with both visiting teams earning a victory each. The Horned Frogs dropped to 20-6 overall and 11-4 in Big 12 play, while the Longhorns pushed its overall record to 17-10 and a mark of 9-6 in the league standings.
THE RUNDOWN
It was a tale of two different halves for the Horned Frogs, who took a 35-26 lead into the halftime break. Texas came out of the locker room and marched to a 12-0 run. TCU, who been up for all of the first half and for a little over three minutes of the third quarter, found themselves down 38-35 before putting up its first points of the period.
Texas shot 60 percent from the field, draining 9-of-15 overall and 4-of-9 from three-point range, and proceeded to score 27 points in the frame – one more point than the Longhorns scored the entire first half.
The Longhorns took a 53-47 lead into the fourth quarter and never looked back. Texas would limit TCU to just 25 percent (3-12) shooting in the third quarter and just a 31.3 percent (5-16) effort in the fourth quarter.
TCU got back within three points of Texas, down 50-47, with 1:03 to play in the third quarter, but Texas closed the period with a three-pointer and began the fourth quarter with a 6-0 run.
Lauren Heard led TCU with 19 points and Kianna Ray followed with a 16-point effort. Jaycee Bradley scored 10 points in the first quarter and ended with 14 points on the evening.
UP NEXT
TCU will hit the road this Sunday, March 1, as the team heads to Lubbock to face the Texas Tech Lady Raiders. Tip-off is set for 12 p.m. at United Supermarkets Arena.
