FORT WORTH, Texas – In a game that went right down to the wire, the Vanderbilt Commodores defeated the TCU Horned Frogs83-74, in the American LBM Coast-to-Coast Challenge at Dickies Arena on Sunday.


The game, which involved the SEC Commodores (9-1) against the Big 12’s Horned Frogs (5-4), depending on the final 10 minutes, as Vanderbilt made a strong push and then held on to the lead in the final two minutes.


Vanderbilt came up with a 7-0 run and that delivered the Commodores an eight-point lead, 66-58 with 5:51 left. That was their biggest lead of the game to that point, but they hadn’t quite put away the fast-breaking Horned Frogs.


The Commodores maintained that lead for the next few minutes, even pushing it to nine points before the Horned Frogs got back into the game with a stretch in which they made three straight field goals to make it 72-68 with 2:22 to go.


But a hanging layup from Jason Edwards with a minute left pushed the Commodores with 58 seconds left to take a 75-68 lead. TCU never made it a one-score game again after that.


Edwards had a huge game for Vanderbilt as he finished with 30 points to lead all scorers and went 13 of 14 at the free throw line. He also had four rebounds.


Devin McGlockton added 10 points and a team-high seven rebounds. The Commodores shot 42% for the game, including a 6-for-22 clip from the 3-point line and an 82% day from the free throw line (27-33).


TCU shot 49% from the floor and evened the score among several players as David Punch, Trazarien White, Ernest Udeh Jr. and Brendan Wenzel each had 11 points. Wenzel left the game late with an injury. The Horned Frogs were also 59% from the 3-point line (10 of 17), but shot 54% from the free throw line.


TCU committed 18 turnovers and Vandy converted those into 22 points. The Commodores also had a 37-29 edge on the glass, including a 13-7 edge on the offensive boards. The Commodores also led in second-chance points, 15-2 and 52-26 in bench points, thanks in large part to Edwards.


Vanderbilt held a 41-38 lead at the break when Tyler Nickel hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from near the half to push the Commodores ahead. Edwards had 17 points in the first 20 minutes, while Nickel had nine points, all of which came on 3-pointers. The Commodores made four of their last five field goals in the half.


TCU and Vandy played a close game for the first 20 minutes as the Horned Frogs had a six-point lead early in the game and the Commodores were ahead by barely a minute. Both teams shot exceptionally well, with TCU shooting 52% through the half, while Vandy forced the Horned Frogs into 12 turnovers and scored 17 points off those mistakes.


The Commodores return home but have 10 days off before hosting The Citadel on December 18. Vandy next plays host to Austin Peay on Dec. 21 and then New Orleans on Dec. 30 before beginning SEC play against LSU on Jan. 4.
