Cincinnati fell to 16-10 following a frustrating loss to Oklahoma State, while TCU dropped to 18-8 after losing at Texas Tech in recent days.

Newman posted 20 points and seven rebounds to help lead the Bearcats past TCU in a chaotic finish at Fifth Third Arena just over a month ago.

Thomas totaled a team-high 21 points and six assists including the game-sealing free throws in the final seconds of overtime against TCU.
