The Horned Frogs, which led for the entire second half, held a two-point advantage, 67-65, with 4:44 remaining. TCU went on a 10-2 run to go up by 10 points before KSU scored the final point of the game on a free throw. The Horned Frogs made five of its last seven field goal attempts yet didn't make one in the final 2:56.

Kansas State (11-18, 2-14) was forced into 18 turnovers while TCU had eight, its 10^th game this season with single-digit turnovers. Brock Harding finished with four steals for the second-straight game to go with eight points and a team-high six assists.

For the seventh-straight game, TCU outrebounded its opponent. This time it was 36-31, which included 11 offensive rebounds.

Joining Edmonds in double figures were David Punch with 13, Liutauras Lelevicius with 12 and Tanner Toolson, who had 14 points to eclipse 1,000 for his career.
