Hank Thorns scored eight of his 32 points in overtime and Texas Christian overcame an 18-point deficit in the second half to post a 102-97 victory over 11th-ranked Nevada-Las Vegas last night.

It was the first win for TCU (15-10, 5-4 Mountain West) over a ranked team since February 2007.

The Horned Frogs hadn’t led since the opening minutes of the game when Thorns started overtime with a layup to make it 87-85, and they didn’t give the lead up. Thorns made his eighth three-pointer with 1:21 left, dribbling through a couple of defenders and shooting over another to make it 96-91.

Thorns, a Las Vegas native, led five players in double figures for TCU, which won its seventh straight home game.

Mike Moser had 22 points, and all five starters scored in double figures for UNLV (22-5, 6-3).
