Heading into the Big 12 tournament, TCU had lost four of their last five regular season games. They stumbled to the No. 9 seed and came up short against the 16th seed Colorado Buffaloes 69-67.

The Buffaloes, who returned to the Big 12 from the Pac-12, are playing in the league’s tournament for the first time since the 2011 season.

Less than a month later, TCU went one-and-done in the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City, falling 69-67 to No. 16 seed Colorado on Tuesday.
