MANHATTAN, Kan. – TCU's comeback push against the No. 25-ranked Kansas State Wildcats came up short as the Horned Frogs fell 63-54 Saturday evening at Brmlage Coliseum.

THE RUNDOWN
TCU found themselves down by 12 points, 49-37 late in the third quarter, but then proceeded to close out the third frame with a 6-2 run and open the fourth quarter with a 6-0 run to get within a bucket, down 51-49. Key turnovers down the stretch led to K-State points and the comeback came up short.

I don't pay that much attention to women's hoops, but I always take note of the outcome of TCU-K-State because the matchup with our former coach always seems like a referendum on the current coach. And it hasn't seemed to go in the Frogs' favor very often.

Coach Pebley seems like a high-quality person and smart, and with the facility upgrade, I really expected the program to get over the hump under her leadership. This has been a tough year. Would love to hear if anyone sees reasons for optimism moving forward.
