Tulsa 50, TCU 49: Pat Swilling Jr. made one of two free throws with 3.2 seconds remaining and the Golden Hurricane pulled out its fifth straight win over the visiting Horned Frogs.

After rebounding a missed layup by TCU's Kyan Anderson with less than five seconds remaining, Swilling Jr. was fouled by Adrick McKinney, who thought his team was trailing. Swilling Jr. then made the first free throw to break a 49-49 tie and when he missed the second, Scottie Haralson got the offensive rebound and Tulsa (6-3) ran out the clock.

D'Andre Wright led the Golden Hurricane with 14 points and seven rebounds as Tulsa survived despite a season-high 23 turnovers. The game featured 12 lead changes, including three in the final 1:32.

TCU (6-4), which has dropped two straight, was held under 50 points for the fifth time this season. Garlon Green led the Horned Frogs with a game-high 16 points and Connell Crossland added 10.

Freshman guard James Woodard, who leads Tulsa in scoring (15.3), was held without a field goal as he missed all four of his shots. Woodard scored just two points and committed four turnovers.
