In the second half, the TCU would rely heavily on defense to start a comeback against the Cougars. This loss was the fifth loss the frogs had versus an AP top 15 team. Both teams entered the Bonus with more than eight minutes left in the second half, making free throws a crucial part of the game. TCU would shoot 16-25 from the free-throw line, and Houston would shoot 22-24. TCU will look to get a road win in Boulder when they play Colorado on Sunday at 1 p.m.
