FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU almost had a strong case of deja vu after watching a big lead evaporate against Texas. However, this time the Horned Frogs finished the job with a 75-73 win over No. 9 Texas.
Once again TCU found itself with a massive lead over a top-10 Texas team. The Horned Frogs led by as much as 18 and had a 13-point halftime lead in the Jan. 11 loss in Austin. On Wednesday TCU led by as many as 16 and had a 12-point lead at halftime.
And just like in Austin, the Longhorns used a second half rally to quickly erase a big deficit. After holding the massive first half lead, Texas found itself only down 71-68 with 59.5 seconds remaining as Tyrese Hunter drained a 3-pointer after TCU’s 22nd turnover.
