TCU basketball overwhelmed Southern 106-54 on Friday night in Fort Worth, Texas, to secure its second win of the season. The 52-point margin reflected a contest where the home team controlled the pace and scoring from the opening minutes.
The Jaguars started strongly, building a 7-0 lead within the first two minutes on baskets by Lionel Bell and Duran Parish. However, TCU responded with a 13-5 run that established a lead the visitors never reclaimed. Brock Harding put the Horned Frogs ahead by double digits late in the first half, capping a sequence that settled the game's trajectory early.
Micah Robinson led TCU with 18 points while shooting 5 of 6 from the floor, including 4 of 5 from beyond the arc. Xavier Edmonds and Harding both recorded double-doubles. Edmonds contributed 13 points and 11 rebounds, while Harding added 10 points, 12 assists, and only one turnover, matching his career high in assists for the third time. Tanner Toolson added 13 points, and DJ Thomas and Gavin Sykes each scored 11.
Southern’s offense stalled after the initial burst, with Justin Page and Aaron Hall leading the Jaguars with eight points apiece. The loss leaves Southern with a 0-2 record, while TCU moves to 2-0.
The Horned Frogs now hold a 3-0 all-time record against Southern, having won the previous meeting 108-75 in the 2023-24 season. TCU is also 50-1 against current SWAC members in program history.
Southern will travel to Drake on Sunday. TCU will host UL Monroe on Tuesday.
