By defeating the Sooners 80-71 in the end on Wednesday night, the Horned Frogs achieved a noteworthy triumph. With a strong performance that included 27 points, nine rebounds, and one assist, Emanuel Miller led the Frogs.
With good momentum going into the game, the Sooners pulled the TCU defense in order to score internally. Although Oklahoma had a small lead at the beginning of the game, it became a back-and-forth contest until the final six minutes of play.
Jalon Moore of Oklahoma committed a personal foul, giving TCU’s Xavier Cork the chance to shoot two free throws. With a string of made baskets, TCU took the lead, 25–22.
The Sooners struggled in the closing minutes because to minor errors including fouls, holding the ball, and missed outside shots. Porter Moser, the head coach of Oklahoma, blamed their difficulties on their inability to play strategically in tonight’s game.
Moser said, “We blew switches, fouled some jump shooters, and made other mistakes that added up.” Playing against that caliber of team leaves you with very little room for error. Even if we miss several shots, you still have the upper hand. We made a lot of mistakes in good time, but TCU played really well.
Miller remarked, “We knew we could play with the best of them after the Kansas game.” “We believe we have what it takes to be ranked #1 because we can compete with anyone in this country.”
Chuck O’Bannon put on a spectacular display and was crucial to the Frogs’ 9-0 run. Following a foul against Rivaldo Soares, O’Bannon made a “and-one” shot, and the Frogs won the game 35–32 thanks to a made free throw.
