"We knew this was a trap game," Texas A&M coach Gary Blair said. "I have always had trouble playing anywhere at TCU because they always come to play and do a great job. They never give up, and they hung in there."

Curtyce Knox then hit two free throws with 1:46 remaining to get Texas A&M back on track.
Zahna Medley scored 19 points for the Horned Frogs, and Donielle Breaux had 12 points and seven rebounds. Chelsea Prince added 10 points, seven boards and six steals.
