First Half


The first half saw both teams exchanging leads multiple times. The Horned Frogs managed to keep pace with Kansas, ending the half trailing by just 5 points at 41-36. Key contributions came from David Punch and Micah Robinson, who combined for crucial points and rebounds that kept TCU in contention.


Second Half


In the second half, TCU intensified their efforts on both ends of the court. Liutauras Lelevicius emerged as a standout performer for the Frogs, scoring an impressive total of 23 points with an outstanding field goal percentage of 78 percent. His performance was complemented by Brock Harding's playmaking abilities as he dished out ten assists.


Overtime


As regulation time concluded with both teams tied after several lead changes and ties throughout, overtime was inevitable. During this period, Jayden Pierre stepped up for TCU by adding significant points to his tally but ultimately fell short against Kansas' offensive surge led by their bench players who contributed crucial baskets down the stretch.


Despite falling short in this intense matchup against one of college basketball's top-ranked teams—Kansas—the Horned Frogs displayed commendable effort and determination which will serve them well moving forward into future games.
