TCU Closes Regular Season With 73-63 Win Over Cincinnati

The outcome firmed up TCU’s seeding prospects, complicating Cincinnati’s route to a tournament bye.

Overview

  • TCU ended at 21-10 overall and 11-7 in the Big 12, extending its winning streak to five and setting a program-best conference win total.
  • A 9-0 run early in the second half created separation after Micah Robinson’s buzzer-beating three sent TCU to halftime up 32-29.
  • Jayden Pierre led the Horned Frogs with 18 points, five rebounds and five assists, with Liutauras Lelevicius adding 14 and David Punch posting 13 points and seven assists.
  • Day Day Thomas scored 19 for Cincinnati, which committed 19 turnovers but outrebounded TCU 37-30 behind Baba Miller’s 14 boards.
  • TCU awaits at least a No. 6 seed for the Big 12 Tournament starting Tuesday, while Cincinnati fell to 17-14 (9-9) and likely missed a first-round bye.
