Horned Frogs Leap Over Sooners in a Dominant 80-71 Victory at Schollmaier Arena

In a display of sheer dominance, the TCU Horned Frogs outplayed the Oklahoma Sooners with an impressive 80-71 victory. The Horned Frogs, unranked this season, showcased their potential against the ninth-ranked Sooners. This win adds to their record, while the Sooners now reflect on their performance with a slightly tarnished standing.

The game at Schollmaier Arena was marked by intense competition and shifting leads, with 12 lead changes and six instances where the score was tied. The Horned Frogs capitalized on turnovers, scoring 25 points off of them compared to just 11 for the Sooners. Moreover, TCU's fast break execution was superior; they scored 14 fast break points against Oklahoma's 10.

TCU's shooting accuracy from within the arc was notable as they made 21 out of their 40 two-point attempts (52 percent), while Oklahoma managed to convert only 19 of their own two-point shots (58 percent). From beyond the arc, both teams struggled somewhat but still managed to sink seven three-pointers each; however, TCU had a slightly better three-point shooting percentage at 29 percent compared to Oklahoma's 28 percent.

Free throws were another area where TCU excelled; they hit an impressive 77 percent from the line thanks to making good on 17 out of their total free throw attempts. On defense, both teams recorded two blocks and TCU had seven steals which contributed significantly to disrupting Oklahoma's offensive flow.

Rebounding played a crucial role in this matchup as well. The Horned Frogs grabbed a total of nine offensive rebounds which led directly to second-chance opportunities resulting in an additional fourteen points for them. Overall rebounding saw both teams fairly even with TCU pulling down just three fewer than Oklahoma’s total count of thirty-eight rebounds.

The home team also demonstrated better ball distribution and decision-making with fourteen assists leading to scores compared to nineteen by Oklahoma – yet it is worth noting that TCU maintained a higher assist-to-turnover ratio at two compared to one point thirty-six for the visitors.
