TCU gets its hands around second Big 12 win, doesn't let go | Fort Worth Star Telegram

At a critical time, Trent Johnson and Trey Zeigler had one of those coach-player moments.

The player had nearly made a mistake. The coach was ready to chew him out.

But Johnson couldn’t quite do it. He put his hands around Zeigler’s head, said, “Be smarter,” and left it at that.

They both walked away with a smile, knowing how close they were to a long-awaited second Big 12 victory, Saturday’s 70-55 triumph over No. 21 Oklahoma State.

3 takeaways: TCU does everything right against Oklahoma State for second Big 12 win | Dallas Morning News

TCU was handed an early opportunity thanks to a pretty silly mistake on the part of Oklahoma State’s Anthony Allen. An NCAA rule prohibits dunking in the 20 minutes prior to tip off. Allen didn’t get that memo. He was assessed a technical and the game began with TCU taking two free throws. That may seem like a death sentence the way TCU has shot its free throws this year, but Kyan Anderson nailed them both and the Horned Frogs started with an early advantage.
