Timmy Allen scored 17 points and Sir'Jabari Rice added 15 -- including three key free throws in the final 6.2 seconds -- as No. 10 Texas roared back to beat No. 17 TCU 79-75 on Wednesday in Austin, Texas.

The Horned Frogs were up by 13 points at halftime, but Texas rallied to tie the game at 67 on two free throws by Rice with 4:39 to play. After three more ties, Marcus Carr canned a 3-pointer with 1:01 remaining to put the Longhorns ahead 76-73.

Emanuel Miller's layup with 37 seconds left cut TCU's deficit to one point, but he missed a free throw that would have tied the game and Rice grabbed the rebound. The Longhorns ran the clock down to 8 seconds and Carr missed a shot, but Rice nabbed the offensive rebound, was fouled and made two free throws to put Texas up by three points.

Rice made one of two free throws with 1 second remaining to ice the game.

Dylan Disu added 14 points on 7-of-7 shooting and Carr hit for 11 for the Longhorns (14-2, 3-1 Big 12).

Miller led all scorers with 21 points while Mike Miles Jr. added 16 for the Horned Frogs (13-3, 2-2).

TCU got its lead into double figures on a breakaway layup by Miller with 10:22 left in the first half and was up 29-13 after two free throws by Damion Baugh 3 1/2 minutes later. TCU extended its advantage to 18 points on a jumper by Miller with 2:57 to play before halftime.

The Longhorns found enough swagger in a 7-0 run to close to within 11 points on a putback dunk by Disu with 1:04 remaining. The Horned Frogs closed the impressive half with a layup by Eddie Lampkin after an offensive rebound and enjoyed a 42-29 lead at the break.

Miles led all scorers in the first half with 10 points while Allen paced the Longhorns with seven points.
