For the fifth consecutive game, Noah Reynolds led the Frogs in scoring. His 21 points on Saturday against the visiting BYU Cougars lifted the Frogs to their second-straight victory.

After being named Big 12 Co-Newcomer of the Week for his performance and game-winning shot a week ago against Kansas State, Reynolds registered his second game with 20-plus points.

The Frogs trailed by a two with 1:43 remaining when Reynolds knocked down a pair of free throws to tie the contest. A screen set by Ernest Udeh Jr. on the ensuing possession allowed Reynolds to drive to the basket and give the Frogs the lead.

TCU closed Saturday’s contest on a 6-0 run to snap a 17-game losing streak to the Cougars.

Reynolds went 8-18 from the field and set a season-high going 3-6 from beyond the arc. The Frogs also got help from Vasean Allette who tallied 11 points and scored in double-figures for the sixth-straight game.

Not only did Reynolds and Allette provide a spark offensively but they combined for zero turnovers against the Cougars.

It was also a positive day for freshman Micah Robinson earned his first-career start and matched a season-high 10 points.

After handing BYU its third conference loss, TCU now remains undefeated at the Schollmaier this season and improves to 9-6 overall and 2-2 in the Big 12.

The Frogs will be back in action on Wednesday, Jan. 15 when they host the Utah Utes (9-6, 1-3 Big 12). Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. and is available for streaming on ESPN+.
