Individual Notes
* Alex Robinson led TCU in scoring for the sixth time this season with 20 points. It was his second-best game of the campaign, trailing only his career-high 24 in a Nov. 26 win over Washington.

* Brodziansky reached double figures in scoring for a team-best 14th time this season.
* Brodziansky added a team-best eight rebounds, the second time he's topped TCU this season.
* JD Miller's 17 points equaled a season high and were two shy of a career-best 19 at Iowa State last year. He nearly equaled his combined total of 18 points over the previous eight games.
* Miller's six assists, tying Robinson for the team lead, doubled his previous career high of three established last year at Texas Tech.
* Miller's seven rebounds were one shy of a season-high eight set on two previous occasions.
