Team Notes

  • The Horned Frogs picked up their first-ever win over Colorado.
  • TCU won on New Year’s Day for the first time in 22 seasons. The Frogs last earned a victory on the first day of the calendar year on Jan. 1, 2002, in an 82-68 home triumph over Montana State.
  • TCU improved its all-time record on New Year’s Day to 3-4.

  • TCU trailed 12-11 following the first quarter. The Horned Frogs are 3-1 this season when their opponent leads after the opening 10 minutes.
  • TCU has now kept 13 of 14 teams under their season scoring average.
  • The Horned Frogs have held 12 of 15 teams at-or-below a 35 percent clip from the field this season.
  • The Horned Frogs won their 49th straight game when limiting their opponent to 50-or-fewer points. 
  • TCU’s 63 points scored were its second-fewest in a home victory under second year head coach Mark Campbell.
  • TCU improved to 27-4 inside Schollmaier Arena in the Campbell era.
