FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Amric Fields scored a game-high 16 points, and Garlon Green brought down seven rebounds, as TCU overcame a slow start to beat Cal Poly 53-46 on Friday night and give Trent Johnson his first career win with the Horned Frogs.
Green made a pair of free throws with 17:54 left to put TCU up 24-23. He had 10 points in the game.
TCU trailed the Mustangs 21-10 at halftime. Cal Poly held TCU to just one field goal over the first 12 minutes of the season opener.
Then, Fields responded with a dunk for his second basket, which was followed by a three-pointer from Nate Butler Lind and a pair of jumpers by Green.
