DALLAS (AP) — Xavier Edmonds scored 16 points, David Punch recorded a double-double and TCU beat North Texas 65-55 on Sunday.
Punch scored 12 points and grabbed 12 rebounds and backup Tanner Toolson added 10 points. Despite a paltry 18% shooting (3 of 17) beyond the 3-point line, the Horned Frogs (6-3) shot 57% (21 of 37) from inside the arc. They finished shooting 44% overall.
David Terrell Jr. scored 16 points and Dylan Arnett 11 for North Texas (7-2).
TCU managed to take control in the second half in large part to an 18-point Mean Green second half in which they shot 30.4% (7 of 23) including 12.5% (1 of 8) from 3-point range.
A pair of foul shots by Toolson with 4:54 left gave the Horned Frogs their first double-digit lead at 59-49.
TCU led 24-21 with 6:24 to go before halftime before the Mean Green’s Demarion Watson made two foul shots, Terrell made a layup and North Texas outscored TCU 16-7 to close the half for a 37-31 lead.
TCU leads the all-time series between the Texas schools, 44-31, including a 24-12 lead in games played in Fort Worth. It was the first meeting between the two programs since Dec. 4, 2004 when the Horned Frogs won 88-78 in Denton.
