K-State players lamented the final play of the night. It went poorly from the beginning when Tang instructed his team to call a timeout after the ball crossed midcourt. But the timeout was called too early and the Wildcats had to in-bound the ball from the backcourt.

TCU trailed by six with 3:14 left to play before the Frogs would go on 7-0 run to close out the contest. Senior Brendan Wenzel, who made his first appearance since Dec. 5, fired home a crucial 3-pointer to cut the Wildcat lead to just one with 1:17 remaining.

The Horned Frogs scored the final seven points of the game and survived a late push from the Wildcats. Both Dug McDaniel and Coleman Hawkins had opportunities to win the game in the final seconds for K-State, but they were unable to convert.

Kansas State basketball turns its attention to Oklahoma State with a second chance to steal a victory on the road.
