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.

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.

The Kansas State men’s basketball team fell one play short against TCU and walked away from Schollmaier Arena with a painful 63-62 loss on Saturday.
