SERIES HISTORY

• The loss dropped TCU to 12-43 all-time against Texas Tech and 6-17 in Fort Worth.

THE LAST TIME OUT
• TCU led by as many as 11 points early in the first quarter against Texas this past Wednesday, but a cold shooting second, third and fourth quarters, allowed the Longhorns to come all the way back and down the Horned Frogs 77-67.
• TCU outscored the Longhorns 23-16 in the first half and gave up just 26 points to UT in the first two periods, but Texas managed to open the third quarter with 12-0 run and put up 27 points in the frame alone.
• TCU drained seven three-pointers in the game, managed to pour in 20 free throws, but overall shooting efforts of 23% in the second quarter, 25% in the third quarter and 31% in the fourth quarter proved to be what turned the game around.
