TCU 100, ULM 92 in Double Overtime: Robinson Scores 27 as the Horned Frogs Survive a Scare in Fort Worth to Reach 3–0
TCU led 41–32 at the half, lost the second half by nine, and needed two overtimes to put away Louisiana-Monroe 100–92 at Schollmaier Arena on Tuesday night. Micah Robinson scored 27, the Frogs made 32 free throws to ULM's 13, and a Warhawks team that shot 51.5% undid itself with 35 fouls and 24 turnovers.
FORT WORTH — TCU's third win was nothing like its first two. Four days after beating Southern by 52, the Horned Frogs were dragged into double overtime by Louisiana-Monroe on Tuesday night at Schollmaier Arena before winning 100–92 — outscoring the Warhawks 13–5 in the second extra period after the first overtime finished 4–4.
Micah Robinson led TCU with 27 points on 9-of-17 shooting and 7-of-10 free throws in 44 minutes. Xavier Edmonds added 17 points and nine rebounds, Brock Harding scored 14 with eight assists, Gavin Sykes scored 14, and Tanner Toolson and DJ Thomas reached 11 and 10. TCU shot only 38.2% from the field — and won the game at the line and on ULM's mistakes: the Frogs attempted 46 free throws to the Warhawks' 19, and ULM committed 35 fouls and 24 turnovers against TCU's 11 turnovers.
ULM, playing its second game in two nights after a 108–67 loss at Texas A&M on Monday, shot 51.5% and won the boards 48–40. Dayjaun Anderson played 47 minutes and finished with 20 points and 13 rebounds; Lance Carr had 13 points and 14 rebounds; Khalil London scored 16 and Quaran McPherson 14. The Warhawks erased the nine-point halftime deficit by winning the second half 51–42 — then scored five points in the second overtime as TCU finally pulled away.
The win makes TCU 3–0 under head coach Jamie Dixon, who turned 61 on Tuesday, and completes a Metroplex college sweep of the night: SMU beat Prairie View A&M 98–63 in Dallas in the earlier game, filed by this desk at the 21:04 cycle. ULM, in its first season under Ryan Cross, falls to 1–3 — with a road back-to-back against two Texas power-conference teams as the explanation, and a double-overtime scare of a 3–0 team as the evidence it is better than its record.
