From the opening tip-off, TCU set a high tempo, ending the first half with a commanding lead of 45 points to Oklahoma's 31. Their offensive execution was clinical, reflected by their superior field goal percentage of 47 percent compared to Oklahoma's 48 percent. The Horned Frogs were particularly effective from beyond the arc, sinking three-point shots at a rate of 39 percent.


Defensively, TCU outshone their opponents with an impressive display that included five blocks and eleven steals. This defensive prowess translated into fast break opportunities where they scored ten points. Moreover, TCU capitalized on turnovers by scoring twenty points off Oklahoma's eighteen turnovers.


The team's cohesion was evident in their distribution of the ball as they racked up fourteen assists throughout the game. Their assist-to-turnover ratio stood at an even one point zero (1.0), indicating efficient ball handling and decision-making under pressure.


On individual performance fronts for TCU, every player contributed significantly to both ends of the floor; however, it was their collective effort that stifled Oklahoma’s attempts to gain momentum during critical junctures in the game.


Despite being matched evenly on total rebounds with thirty each for both teams and second-chance points standing at thirteen apiece, it was TCU’s ability to maintain composure and execute under pressure that made all difference in this contest.


As fans look ahead eagerly for more action from their team, they can mark their calendars for an upcoming encounter against Houston Cougars scheduled on March 14th at Kansas City's renowned T-Mobile Center. This game will be broadcast live on ESPN starting at 2:00 PM local time (Central Time Zone). Fans are encouraged not only to attend but also tune in as TCU looks forward to continuing its winning ways on this grand stage.
