ORLANDO, Fla. – A tough shooting day resulted in TCU's 85-58 loss at UCF Saturday at Addition Financial Arena.
The Knights (13-6, 4-4) got out to a 13-0 lead in the games' first two minutes and 22 seconds behind three 3-pointers by Keyshawn Hall. That sequence set the tone for the rest of the game as the Horned Frogs (10-9, 3-5) were never able to get out of a deficit.
Vasean Allette led TCU with 15 points. His two free throws in the first half brought the Frogs to within six points, 25-19. with 8:27 to play in the period. UCF closed the half on a 13-4 run to lead 37-23 at halftime.
TCU never got within single digits in the second half despite outrebounding UCF, 39-38. The difference came from beyond-the-arc, where the Knights shot 73.3 percent (13-of-31) from 3-point range and the Frogs were 5.0% (1-of-20).
Hall ended with a game-high 26 points and eight rebounds.
TCU will next play at Texas Tech on Wednesday at 6 p.m. on ESPN2.
