Desmond Bane dropped 30 points on the Huskers, as TCU won 88-72.
And for a second straight night, Dixon saw his players deliver. Highlighted Bane’s outburst -- his second 30-point performance of the month -- a total of five TCU players ended the night in double figures. The Horned Frogs had six players reach that mark against Sam Houston State in the first round of the NIT last Wednesday, and the momentum carried over, as the numbers showed.
