They went on to take leads of up to five points toward the end of the half before TCU center Eddie Lampkin hit 2 of 4 free throws in the final minute to pull the Horned Frogs within a possession at halftime. UA's Dalen Terry missed a half-court shot as time expired. Arizona fell behind 8-9 while missing its first six shots.
