TCU Men's Basketball Finishes Non-Conference Undefeated At Home

The Horned Frogs look to carry the momentum forward after defeating Texas A&M Commerce for their last non-conference matchup.

The TCU Horned Frogs played their last non-conference game of the season on New Year's Day and welcomed in the New Year with a 77-42 victory over Texas A&M Commerce. The Frogs never trailed in the game and led by as much as 44 points.

The Horned Frog victory was led by sophomore center Ernest Udeh Jr., who recorded his first double-double in the matchup. The Kansas transfer tallied career highs in points with 13 and rebounds with 18. Udeh recorded the most rebounds by a Horned Frog in the last 22 years. 

TCU played stellar defense all game and held the Lions to the second-fewest points since coach Jamie Dixon took over on the team. The Frogs shined on perimeter defense, holding their opponent to only shooting 2-22 on three-point attempts. 

Avery Anderson III tied with Udeh in points, with 13, leading the team. All five starters in the game tallied double-digit points on the day, with Micah Peavy and Trevian Tennyson reaching 11 and Emanuel Miller finishing with 10 points. 

This was the last chance for the Horned Frogs to get a tune-up in before starting conference play, and the Frogs will be thrown into the fire right from the start. Their first game will be on the road at #2 ranked Kansas Jayhawks this Saturday at 1 p.m.
