The Horned Frogs reeled off 11 of the ensuing 13 points, capping its run in a dunk by Punch with 9:56 left in the half and with TCU up 25-12. The margin ballooned to 20 points after Lelevicius’s 3-pointer with 6:22 remaining, but the Tigers stayed in the game, using a 12-4 spurt punctuated by Ruffin’s jumper from beyond the arc with 4:41 to play in the half to claw back to 42-30.
