Win margin is the largest in 12 seasons

FORT WORTH – Five Horned Frogs scored in double-figures and two had double-doubles in TCU's 106-54 win over Southern Friday at Schollmaier Arena.

All five starters scored at least 10 points, led by Micah Robinson's 18. Xavier Edmonds recorded 13 points and 11 rebounds and Brock Harding scored 10 points and tied a career-high with 12 assists.

It was the 52-point win was the largest margin of victory for a TCU team in 12 seasons.

The onslaught in scoring was thanks in large part to 48.1 percent (13-of-27) shooting from three and 85.3 percent (29-of-34) from the free throw line. Robinson was 4-of-5 from 3-point range which tied a career-high for makes. The Horned Frogs (2-0) had 26 assists on 32 made baskets and outrebounded Southern (0-2), 43-30.

Three turnovers in TCU's first three possessions allowed each team hold leads to start the game. A Tanner Toolson layup gave TCU a lead for good six minutes into the game. Toolson finished with 13 points on 2-of-3 shooting from three. The Frogs scored the last 12 points of the first half to extend their lead to 49-28.

TCU started the first half making its first five field goals and its first three attempts from 3-point range. As the lead increased, the Frogs were able to get a slew of new players experience.

Starting in place of Luke Bamgboye, who was sidelined with injury, was DJ Thomas who finished with 11 points. Also scoring 11 points off the bench was Gavin Sykes, who played in his first game after missing the opener with an injury.

Trent Lincoln scored eight points and Ryan Hunt and Ricards Aizpurs finished with seven each.

The Horned Frogs will return to action on Tuesday at 8 p.m. against ULM. The game will air on ESPN+
