PALM DESERT, Calif. – TCU dropped its second-straight game Friday with a 76-72 loss to Colorado State in overtime in the consolation game of the Acrisure Invitational at Acrisure Arena.
After trailing by as many as eight points late in the second half the Horned Frogs (4-3) led 66-63 with 1:05 to play following a pair of free throws by Brendan Wenzel. A 3-pointer by the Rams' Bowen Born tied the game, 66-66 with just under a minute left in regulation.
Each team had an empty possession to give TCU the final shot of regulation with 6.9 seconds to play. A 3-pointer at the top of the key by Frankie Collins missed to send the game into overtime.
TCU never led in the extra period. Both teams made three field goals, but the Rams (4-3) were 4-of-4 from the line, which proved to be the difference.
Collins had a season-high 18 points and eight rebounds to go with five assists and five steals. Noah Reynolds' 12 points and Trazarien White's 10 were the Frogs' other double-digit scorers.
