Ames, IA (SportsNetwork.com) - The TCU Horned Frogs hope to put the brakes on a three-game slide when they pay a visit to the 15th-ranked Iowa State Cyclones for a Big 12 Conference clash on Saturday afternoon. Despite their recent hardship, the Horned Frogs own a 14-6 record. Unfortunately, their league ledger sits at 1-6, with their lone Big 12 win coming over another struggling squad in Texas Tech on Jan. 17. TCU has lost six of its last seven games overall, and is 2-2 in true road tilts this season. Iowa State is coming off a huge win as it slipped past the Texas Longhorns at home last Monday, 89-86. The triumph improved the Cyclones to 15-4 overall and 5-2 in conference, the latter of which has them tied for second place with West Virginia entering the weekend. ISU is a perfect 11-0 at home this season. The series between these two teams is knotted at 5-5, but Iowa State has won the last four meetings after losing the previous five. TCU hasnt won in Ames since 1982. Kyan Anderson scored 17 points, Trey Zeigler posted a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds, and Chris Washburn grabbed a dozen boards, but those efforts went for naught as TCU dropped a tough 64-61 decision to visiting Kansas earlier in the week. The Frogs shot just 30.6 percent from the floor, missed 10 of their 12 3-point tries, and went just 15-of-29 at the free-throw line. They won the battle on the boards, 50-40, but allowed the Jayhawks to knock down 46.2 percent of their total shots. Anderson is the only player on the roster averaging double digits at the moment, as he nets 13.9 ppg for a TCU squad that puts up 70.7 ppg. Balance is the key for the Horned Frogs as six others produce at least 5.8 ppg. Well that, and tough defense as foes are permitted just 57.6 ppg in hitting a mere 35.7 percent of their field goal attempts, which includes a 30.9 percent showing from beyond the arc. A +6.6 rebounding differential has certainly helped the teams overall cause. Iowa State shot a sizzling 54.7 percent from the field and had five players score in double figures in the recent win over Texas. Georges Niang led the way with 19 points, while Bryce Dejean-Jones added 18, Jameel McKay 14, Monte Morris 13 and Dustin Hogue 11 for the Cyclones, who lost the rebounding battle (39-29), but more than made up for it by logging a 25-10 edge in points from the foul line. Both teams took very good care of the basketball, combining for only 14 turnovers. At present, six players are averaging in excess of 10 ppg, with Niang pacing the group with 14.8 ppg. As a result, Iowa State is netting a robust 80.2 ppg behind typical shooting efforts of .487 overall and .348 from 3-point land. The team owns narrow advantages in both rebounding (+1.4) and turnovers (+2.3), but limits the opposition to 68.7 ppg as they connect on 41.5 percent of their total shots. Foes have also done an impressive job at the charity stripe, converting 77 percent of their free throws. Philadelphia Phillies Gear .

Donald had an eagle and six birdies to shoot 66 on Saturday and take a two-stroke lead over John Huh after three rounds at Harbour Town Golf Links. The Englishman has done just about everything on Harbour Town the past five times hes played -- except win. He fell in a playoff to Brandt Snedeker here in 2011, part of a run of four top-3 finishes since at the tricky, Pete Dye design. Now, hell carry the lead into the final day and is ready to make it stand up on Sunday. "If I can go out as relaxed and confident as I was today tomorrow," he said. "If I can control the trajectory (of shots) as well as I did today, then hopefully Ill be sitting here as the winner." It has been a long time since Donald has been able to say that. Once the worlds top-ranked golfer, Donald has changed coaches and the transition back to the top has not come as quickly as planned. The last of his five PGA Tour wins came in 2012, his best showing this year was a tie for fourth at the Valspar Championship last month and he was quickly bounced at the Masters after shooting 79-70. Donald acknowledged he has grown anxious waiting to win again. "I was the former world No. 1 and was there for a long time and obviously slipped down," said Donald, currently 29th. "But I havent felt my game had gotten that much worse." Certainly not at Harbour Town. Donalds round got started with a 25-footer for eagle on the par-5 second hold. He added four more on the next six holes. Donald then tied leader Nicholas Thompson with a birdie on the 14th before stretching his lead with a final one by rolling in a 15-foot putt on the par-3 17th. Donald nearly closed with a flourish when his approach on the closing, lighthouse hole nearly landed in the cup on the fly before bouncing to the edge and settling for par. Donalds not the longest hitter on tour and said some layouts are dragons he cant slay. "But this one I feel like I can plot my way around with low wedges," he said. "If you miss greens, you need to be pretty good at the short game. Certainly a course that favours my style of play." Huh shot a 68 and was at 6 under. Major champions Charl Schwartzel (68) and Jim Furyk (71), Nicholas Thompson (68) and Ben Martin (71) were tied for third at 5 under.dddddddddddd Matt Kuchar, ranked sixth in the world, shot 70 as part of a group of five golfers another shot back at 4 under. Donalds performance capped a long day at soggy Harbour Town, where 65 golfers had to finish the second round before the third could begin with K.J. Choi, Furyk and Ben Martin tied for the lead. But by midafternoon, the moisture had softened things and competitors were treated to slick greens easily accepting approach shots. At times, it looked more like a local club shootout than a PGA Tour stop. Thompson, whose sister Lexi won her first LPGA Tour major at the Kraft Nabisco Championship earlier this month, got things going with five birdies on the front nine to lead at 7 under. But bogeys at the 16th and 18th holes dropped him back into the group at 208. Schwartzel, the 2011 Masters champion, was among those with an early start and jumped into the chase with a third-round 68 to move to 5 under. He said the course held up well despite more than 2 1/2 inches of rain that fell here Friday. Schwartzel has not won on the PGA Tour since his surprising run to the green jacket, when he birdied the final four holes. "I think if I can continue the ball striking and giving myself chances, I can make a few (birdies) tomorrow and give it a shot," he said. Furyk, the 2010 winner at Harbour Town, made birdie on his second hole to take the lead at 6 under. He failed to build on that hot start, but held on to stay in the hunt. The craziest day might have belonged to Kuchar, the highest-ranked player competing at Harbour Town after the seasons first major. He followed his fifth-place showing at the Masters last week with a strong bogey-free 66 on Thursday to take the lead. Things went the other way quickly Friday, with Kuchar posting a pair of double bogeys before the rains came and suspended play. Kuchar struggled some more with a bogey on the eighth hole once he restarted Saturday. Then he made four birdies on his back nine to climb back in it. Kuchar has finished fifth or better in his past three events and has a chance to do it again at Harbour Town. "To be playing some good golf and be in contention is fun," he said. "Im excited to have my fourth shot at trying to take a title." ' ' '
