In the Big 12 tournament, the top-seeded Houston Cougars secured a significant victory over the eighth-seeded TCU Horned Frogs, with a final score of 60-45. This win in the quarterfinals Thursday propels Houston into the semifinals, continuing their streak of avenging previous season losses by defeating teams such as Iowa State, Kansas, and now TCU, all of whom had bested them in earlier matchups. The game was notably challenging for TCU, which struggled offensively throughout, shooting a mere 23.3% from the floor and being held scoreless at 16-0 early in the game. This performance marked the lowest shooting percentage for the Horned Frogs since a game against Texas Tech in January 2014. Despite pulling down 30 offensive rebounds, TCU managed to convert only 17 of their 73 shot attempts, with a dismal start of 0 for 14 from the field. Houston's defense was formidable, holding TCU to a shooting percentage of 16.1% for the game. Key contributors for Houston included Emanuel Sharp with 14 points, followed by 12 points from JS Head, and J'Wan Roberts who added 8 points and 10 rebounds. Houston's next game is against Texas Tech in the semifinals, set to take place at 6 pm, Friday, at the T-Mobile Center.

TCU attempted 73 shots today. They made just 17, despite pulling down 30 offensive rebounds. Their 23.3% shooting from the floor is the lowest for a Horned Frogs' team since Jan. 15, 2014 (20.4% vs. Texas Tech).

TCU just had three point-blanks shot at rim. Horned Frogs missed all three. They are shooting 16.1% for the game.
I can't recall a shooting slump this bad. Dating back to yesterday's game vs. Houston, TCU hasn't scored a basket in the last 18:48 of game time. TCU trails Houston 16-0.
Two media timeouts in, @TCUBasketball is 0-14 from the field and being shut out 16-0 by @UHCougarMBK.
Make that 0 for 13 for TCU. They are being met at rim by Cougars.
For those slobbering over a wide-open, anything-goes, parity-filled NCAA Tournament, 5:25 into the @Big12Conference quarters TCU has missed its first 11 shots and top-rated @UHCougarMBK is up 9-0.
TCU: 0 for 11 start to game

TCU beats a undermanned Oklahoma team. Horned Frogs get a Houston team next in Big 12 tourney that they beat at home earlier this season. Jamie Dixon will wind up taking TCU to NCAA tourney for the 3rd consecutive season - something never been done in program history.
