GoFrogs: TCU Falls at Baylor
WACO, Texas - Alex Robinson went over 1,000 career points as TCU fell 90-64 to a hot-shooting Baylor team Saturday night in Waco.
The Bears (15-6, 6-2) shot 55.6 percent from the field and shot 15-of-28 from 3-point range for 53.6 percent to win their sixth-straight game.
TCU (15-6, 3-5) and Baylor were locked in a back-and-forth contest early on but a 9-2 run gave the Bears enough momentum to take a 39-28 advantage into halftime. Baylor continued to hit shots in the second half, with Makai Mason connecting on eight of the first nine baskets for the Bears, six of which were threes. He finished with 40 points behind nine 3-pointers.
Robinson finished with 16 points and a team-high six assists. His 1,000th career point came towards the end of the first half. JD Miller led the team with 17 points.
