Micah Robinson dropped 27 points to lead TCU to a wild 100-92 double-overtime victory over Louisiana-Monroe Tuesday night, pulling out a win that felt way too close after the Horned Frogs had a solid lead at the break.
The Game That Just Kept Going
TCU came out looking strong, taking a 41-32 lead into halftime. But if you thought they’d cruise, you clearly haven’t watched enough college hoops. ULM stormed back within the first five minutes of the second half, and from there, it was a battle. These two squads traded the lead like it was a hot potato, with neither team able to get more than a four-point cushion. It took Robinson hitting a clutch layup with just eight seconds left on the clock to even send this thing to overtime. Talk about cutting it close.
Clutch Plays and a Decisive Run
The first overtime was a defensive slugfest, with only eight total points scored. It felt like everyone was just trying to catch their breath. But when the second overtime hit, TCU finally found their rhythm. They absolutely erupted for an 11-0 run that stretched across 2:20, and that was all she wrote. Xavier Edmonds chipped in with 17 points and nine rebounds, while Brock Harding and Gavin Sykes each added 14 points. Harding was also dishing, racking up eight assists. For Louisiana-Monroe, Dayjaun Anderson put up 20 points on 8-of-17 shooting, pulling down 13 rebounds and adding five assists and a block, but the eight turnovers definitely hurt. Khalil London also pitched in with 16 points.
So, TCU moves to 3-0 to start the season, marking the ninth time they’ve done that in the last 11 seasons. Next up, the Horned Frogs are hosting Milwaukee on Friday. Can they keep this early momentum rolling, or will the close call against ULM be a wake-up call? We’ll see.
