FORT WORTH, Texas _ Desmond Bane thought he'd won it in regulation.
Bane drove the length of the floor and went hard to the basket for a layup with 0.9 seconds left, a basket that would have given TCU a 57-55 victory over No. 17 West Virginia.
But officials ruled Bane extended his left arm and pushed off WVU's Jermaine Haley.
"I did," Bane said, smiling when asked if he pushed off. "But you just don't call that with 0.9 seconds left. It is what it is."
Bane could joke about the call afterward because TCU pulled away for a 67-60 victory in overtime on Saturday afternoon at Schollmaier Arena.
It was a stunning outcome for a TCU team that had lost nine of its last 11 games, a losing drought that started with a 32-point loss at West Virginia last month.
But TCU (15-12, 6-8 Big 12) didn't look like the same group that played in Morgantown.
TCU combined for just nine assists in the first meeting. Bane set a career-high with 10 on Saturday.
TCU center Kevin Samuel had just six points and three rebounds in the first meeting. He had a game-high 19 points on 7-of-7 shooting and eight rebounds on Saturday.
West Virginia, meanwhile, struggled from 3-point range (2 for 17) and the free-throw line (8 for 15). It marked the fifth straight Big 12 road loss by West Virginia this season.
"Haven't made shots. Haven't made shots," WVU coach Bob Huggins said. "The whole thing starts, we're up by 10, we miss a wide-open 3. They come down and make a 3. We miss another wide-open 3. They come down, score again and all of a sudden they're back in the game."
The Mountaineers appeared poised for another blowout victory after going on a 15-1 run in the first half. They were up 31-21 with 3:30 left in the first half.
But TCU closed on an 8-0 run to pull within 31-29 at the break, and then continued its hot stretch early in the second half to go on a combined 19-2 run. A 3-pointer by RJ Nembhard gave the Frogs a 40-33 lead with 15:41 left in the second half.
West Virginia battled back, and it was close until the end.
With the game tied at 55-55, West Virginia had a chance to take the lead, but Taz Sherman missed a jumper with 6 seconds left. Bane came up with a rebound and went the distance before being called for the foul.
TCU coach Jamie Dixon had no issue with the foul call, despite it drawing the ire of the home crowd.
"It seemed like it was the right call on the play," Dixon said. "I didn't see it on TV, but we did exactly what we wanted to. We talked about the clock, where it was at going into that last play, getting that rebound, getting that stop, and just going. That's what we did and gave us a chance to win the game."
TCU responded in overtime.
Jaire Grayer scored the first points with a 3-pointer for TCU, and then Samuel took over. He scored six of TCU's 12 points in the extra period, including two free throws with 1:19 left to give TCU a 63-57 lead.
For the game, Samuel made 5 of 6 free throws. He entered shooting just 34% from the line.
"Struggles?" Samuel said, chuckling when asked about his free throws. "I just gained great confidence seeing the ball go in. It's something I've been working on. I try not to think about it."
For TCU, this win should boost confidence and morale in a season that hasn't gone as well as desired. But the Frogs have never doubted themselves despite a few lopsided losses.
"We never questioned our ability," Bane said. "We knew we were capable, and I think that's what gave us the confidence to keep pushing and keep moving forward. It would be different if we didn't have the right players.
"It's just about building the little things day in and day out. Hopefully we'll build off of it moving forward."
TCU returns to action at Iowa State on Tuesday. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m. in Ames.
