FORT WORTH, Texas — Even though the result was a formality, TCU fans remained invested.

Hardly any of the 6,404 purple-clad fans left Schollmaier Arena early to get on with their Saturday afternoons. They wanted to see if TCU could reach triple digits.

TCU guard Damion Baugh circled the lane with only spare change on the game clock. He whipped a pass inside to an open Emanuel Miller who slammed home a dunk, scoring points 99 and 100.

TCU dominated OSU 100-75. It is the second time a Mike Boynton-coached team has given up triple digit points, the other coming in Bedlam the 201718 season. The Frogs maintained about a 20

Postgame, Boynton didn’t have really anything to say.

“Yeah, not a whole lot to give a statement about,” Boynton said. “The only statement that was made today was by TCU. Really good team, they punched us in the mouth from the start and we didn’t really respond. Ultimately, that’s on me as a coach. I’ve got to do a better job setting the tone and getting our guys ready.”

TCU (18-9 overall, 7-7 Big 12) entered the game on a four-game skid. Part of the reason for the slip was not having preseason Big 12 Player of the Year Mike Miles and forward Eddie Lampkin. Both returned from injury against the Cowboys. Miles was one of six Frogs who scored double-digit points.
