Guard Jaylen Fisher broke a tie with a 3-pointer in the final minute and TCU came up big at the free throw line as the Horned Frogs knocked off Illinois State 80-71 on Monday.

After the teams traded the lead back-and-forth for much of the second half, Redbirds guard Paris Lee made one of two free throws to tie the score at 71 with 54 seconds to play. Fisher's three made it 74-71 TCU (4-0) with 42 seconds left.

Illinois State forward Deonte Hawkins missed a three-pointer on the other end and Horned Frogs guard Brandon Parrish was fouled and made both free throws to push the margin to five with 29.7 seconds remaining. The Redbirds turned it over and guard Alex Robinson hit two more free throws. Two more free throws from Fisher provided the final margin.

Forward Vladimir Brodziansky had 24 points for TCU to lead all scorers. He made seven of his eight attempts from the floor and went 10-for-13 from the line. Fisher added 15 points, while guard Kenrich Williams just missed a double-double with 13 points and nine rebounds.

Forward MiKyle McIntosh had 20 points and nine rebounds for Illinois State (1-2) which dropped its second road game of the season. The Redbirds turned the ball over 17 times and were outrebounded 37-28.

Illinois State led 36-31 at halftime, thanks to its 6-for-13 performance from three-point range. It led 51-45 on a pair of free throws by forward Phil Fayne with 12:50 left, but TCU went on a 13-4 run to go ahead 58-55 and set things up for the dramatic final minute.
