FORT WORTH, Texas – Brendan Wenzel sank a 3-pointer with 17 seconds left to lift TCU to a 66-65 come-from-behind win versus #16 Arkansas in a charity exhibition game Friday night, played at Dickies Arena.
TCU only had three players score in double figures. Big man Ernest Udeh, Jr., finished with 13 points and eight rebounds while Frankie Collins and Vasean Allette each scored 10 points.
Adou Thiero led Arkansas. The junior had 20 points, eight rebounds and four assists. Boogie Fland contributed 11 points.
The Razorbacks had a 13-point lead disappear thanks to an 8-0 run by TCU to end the third quarter. However, the Razorbacks held the lead throughout the fourth stanza until Wenzel’s 3-pointer.
Arkansas did not have a quality look to end the game. Since the contest was four quarters and teams would only shoot free throws after the fifth foul of each quarter, TCU had only committed one foul but was able to commit three to run down the clock. After TCU’s fourth foul of the quarter, there was just one second left for a last-second 3-point try.
Arkansas opens the regular season next Wednesday (Nov. 6) versus Lipscomb at Bud Walton Arena. Tipoff is set for 7 pm and the game will be broadcast on SEC Network Plus.
