Horned Frogs have one of their best shooting games behind Miles' team-high 17 points

AUSTIN, Texas - Mike Miles led TCU with 17 points as the Horned Frogs fell at No. 20 Texas, 75-66, Wednesday night at Frank Erwin Center.

Miles was joined in double-figures by Micah Peavy, who finished with 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting.

It was the second-best shooting performance of the season for TCU (17-9, 6-8) which outshot UT, 53.1 percent to 44.6 percent. Included was a season-best 50 percent (6-of-12) from 3-point range. The big difference in the game came at the free throw line where Texas (20-8, 9-6) was 24-of-29 and TCU was 8-of-11.

An alley-oop from Miles to Peavy capped an early 10-0 run to put TCU up 19-14. The Frogs maintained the lead throughout the half and led 35-30 at the break after shooting 65.2 percent from the field.

TCU led by as many as 10 points, 48-38, with 13:20 remaining following a Miles layup. The Longhorns answered with a 17-2 run to take a five-point lead with 7:25 to play.

A pair of free throws by Chuck O'Bannon cut what was an eight-point Texas lead to three, with 62-59 to play. TCU never got any closer as it was outrebounded (30-28) for just the fourth time this season.

UT's Andrew Jones had 15 of his game-high 21 points in the second half.

The Horned Frogs will return to action on Saturday at 5 p.m. when they host No. 9 Texas Tech on ESPN2.
