TCU ran into the top-ranked Duke Blue Devils men’s basketball, which defeated the Frogs 81–58.
Although the Blue Devils pulled away for a 23-point win, the game was much closer than the final score suggests. It was a dogfight from the outset, with the Horned Frogs striking first before the teams went back and forth through the opening nine minutes.
