FORT WORTH, Texas -- — Noah Reynolds scored 13 of his 15 points at the free-throw line and TCU cruised to an 82-48 victory over Montana State on Sunday.

Trazarien White made three 3-pointers and scored 13 for TCU. Vasean Allette scored 11.
Max Agbonkpolo had 18 points on 7-for-12 shooting to lead the Bobcats (5-8), who have just one win in eight road games.
