HOUSTON -- Garlon Green and TCU wanted to close with a win before heading into the Christmas break and an eight-day respite.

The Horned Frogs, led by Green's career-high 31 points, held off Rice 65-63 on Saturday night before a crowd of 1,549 at Tudor Fieldhouse.

Green, who attended Fort Bend Hightower in nearby Missouri City, made a career-high 10 of 16 field goals, including 3-of-4 from the 3-point arc. He also had four assists and three rebounds.

Green's free throw with 21 seconds left gave TCU a 64-61 lead, but Rice's Julian DeBose made a layup to cut the deficit back to one eight seconds later.

Any new players become eligible in the Spring semester?

Yep, Gore, the guard transfer from Brown.

 

[3RD DOWN 33]

Gore is a walk on, who won't contribute, I don't care what his ranking is, there are kids in the rec just as good as him. I say that but Zurcher and Montigel are both in the rotation, good for them. Montigel's dad is one hell of a man and a great golf coach at TCU. Happy for Garlon, had to be tough following in his older brothers footsteps. Sometimes you think you are automatically entitled to certain things, Green has tweaked his game every year, always in the gym. One of CJC's first recruits, hat's off to Garlon Green.
