In a move that might win them a “Dundie,” the TCU Horned Frogs defeated a no-name team from Australia 107-81 on Sunday to stay undefeated after four games in a five-game tour.
Desmond Bane scored 21 points, and Alex Robinson had 19 to pace the Frogs, who topped the century mark for the third time on the Australia trip.
Their opponent Sunday at Dandenong Basketball Stadium, the Longhorns, is a club in Melbourne that has produced players such as Mangok Mathiang of Louisville.
But the Longhorns showed up without names for the scorebook, only numbers, so the TCU statistician assigned identies 30 minutes before tip as follows:
20 SCOTT, Michael
23 HOWARD, Ryan
24 MARTIN, Angeloa
29 MALONE, Kevin
39 PALMER, Meredith
05 SCHRUTE, Dwight
10 HALPERT, Jim
14 BEESLY, Pam
21 BERNARD, Andy
22 FLENDERSON, Toby
25 HUDSON, Stanley
30 KAPOOR, Kelly
Of course, the Longhorns’ star was Jim Halpert with 28 points on 10-of-14 shooting, nine rebounds and two blocks.
