Of the three teams chasing Houston for the Big 12 men's basketball title, Texas Tech had the easiest path to catch the Cougars. That path became much more difficult on Tuesday after a stunning 66-63 loss to TCU.

However, Noah Reynolds powered the Horned Frogs down the stretch, notching 11 of his 16 points in the final seven minutes of play. The 6-foot-3 guard scored the last seven points for TCU in the win, going on a 6-0 scoring run for the Horned Frogs to the closing seconds of regulation.

The Texas Tech basketball team has improved its defense, especially late in games, during its winning streak. How that could be important vs. Arizona.
