2 012-13 GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS TCU 67, MISS. VALLEY STATE 64 Fort Worth, Texas (Daniel-Meyer Coliseum) Dec. 30, 2012
FORT WORTH — TCU led by double digits early before having to force a late rally on its way to a 67-64 victory over Mississippi Valley State. The Frogs scored seven of the game’s final nine points in the comeback win. The Frogs led by as many as 12 points but saw their edge evaporate late as MVSU cranked its game up to another level. A 6-0 run gave TCU a 56-47 lead with 9:34 remaining, but MVSU scored 15 of the game’s next 19 points to move ahead inside the final three minutes. The Frogs went cold from the floor during the stretch, as the Devils held the squad without a field goal and to only four foul throws for nearly eight full minutes. A Darryl Marshall layup gave MVSU its first lead of the game at 62-60 with 2:24 to play, but TCU responded with its late surge. Adrick McKinney came up with two huge plays down low on back-to-back TCU possessions, first tying the game with a layup off an assist from Kyan Anderson. McKinney then gave the Frogs the lead for good with a tip-in off a missed layup by Garlon Green with 35 seconds left. GAME NOTES 4TCU finished non-conference with a 9-4 record, its best mark (.692) since going 10-4 (.714) in regular-season non-league games in 2004-05. 4TCU erased a second-half deficit for the sixth time in a win this season. 4Garlon Green recorded his 400th career rebound. 4Adrick McKinney scored in double figures for the fourth time in the last five games and led TCU on the glass for the sixth time in the last seven contests.
