FORT WORTH – A second half run helped TCU overcome a halftime deficit in a 76-71 win over Texas State Tuesday at Schollmaier Arena.
TCU (3-0) trailed by as many as six points late in the first half and by two points, 37-35, at halftime. The Horned Frogs quickly regained the lead with a Noah Reynolds layup two minutes into the second half. The margin stayed within five points until a 17-3 TCU run increased its lead to 68-54 with 5:45 remaining.

The Bobcat threat heightened with 1:32 to play when a Dylan Dawson 3-pointer brought Texas State to within four points, 72-68. TCU made just 4-of-9 from the free throw line for the remainder of the game, but it was enough to hold on for the five-point win.
Reynolds led TCU with 17 points on 6-of-7 shooting and added five assists. Trazarien White had 16 points, which included a 2-of-3 effort from 3-point range. Frankie Collins scored all 13 of his points in the second half and added a team-high six assists. The starting backcourt duo of Collins and Reynolds went 12-of-15 from the field.
