FORT WORTH, Texas — Streak or not, Brannen Greene was on the free throw line when his team needed him. The sophomore guard came through, knocking down five points in the last 33 seconds to push No. 9/11 Kansas past a scrappy TCU squad inside a unique venue Wednesday night, 64-61.

Greene’s made-free throw streak, which spanned into last season, was broken the last time he had gone to the line (vs. Oklahoma, 1/19/15). With that pressure out of the way, Greene had a new pressure waiting when he went to the line in a two-point game with :33 remaining – the first of six free shots he would take before game’s end. In that crucial time slot, he came away with five free throws, a block and a rebound to seal the game.

While TCU (14-6, 1-6) spends the 2014-15 season renovating its home arena, Kansas (17-3, 6-1) faced the Horned Frogs at the Wilkerson-Greines Athletic Center, the high school facility of the Fort Worth Independent School District approximately 15 minutes from TCU’s campus. Adding to the unfamiliar surroundings, Kansas shared the court with an unranked opponent for the first time in nearly three weeks. Setting up what many dubbed ‘a trap game.’

Ranked fourth in the NCAA in field goal percentage defense, TCU isn’t going unnoticed on any team’s radar. The Horned Frogs became the fifth team to outrebound KU this season, but no one had done it by 10 rebounds (50-40). Three Horned Frogs finished in double-figures, while just one – sophomore point guard Frank Mason III – scored 10 or more for Kansas. Matchups against the conference leader in scoring defense don’t have to be pretty, they just have to end in a win.
