SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif. - TCU dropped its first game of the season in the SoCal Challenge, 85-66, to Santa Clara on Monday.
The Broncos (5-0) shot 69 percent (11-of-16) from 3-point range and shot 61 percent from the floor. The Horned Frogs were held to 41 percent shooting from the field.
Maxwell Evans led the Horned Frogs (3-1) with a season-high 15 points, including 3-of-4 from 3-point range. Mike Miles and Micah Peavy each added 10 points. Miles also dished out a career-high seven assists.
After TCU took a 1-0 lead, the first half belonged to Santa Clara. Having trailed by 11 midway through the first half, the Horned Frogs' JaKobe Coles brought TCU to within four points after a 3-pointer with 2:27 to play in the half. The Broncos then responded with 10 unanswered points to end the half and led 43-29.
Santa Clara continued its scoring streak to 24 to start the second half and led by as many as 28 with 15:36 to play. The Frogs then went on a 14-3 run to cut the deficit to 15 points with just over nine minutes remaining, but never got any closer.
Up next, TCU continues play in the SoCal Challenge on Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. CT against Pepperdine. It will be shown on CBSSN.
