FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Tristan Carey scored 31 points and Lucas Woodhouse hit the game-winning 3-pointer with 1.7 seconds left as Longwood spoiled TCU’s home-opener with an 82-79 win Tuesday night.
Carey’s seventh 3-pointer pushed the Lancers ahead just four minutes after TCU took its first lead of the game with 8:32 to play. After Carey’s 3 from the right corner, Karl Ziegler and Jaylani Dublin each scored on putbacks and the Lancers made 9 of 10 free throws down the stretch.
But after Longwood turned the ball over on TCU’s end of the court with 20.9 seconds left, TCU’s Brandon Parrish hit a 3-pointer and Kyan Anderson hit two free throws to tie the game 79-79 with 7.1 seconds left.
Longwood won just its 16th win in a true road game since first playing a Division I schedule in 2004-2005.
It was Longwood’s first-ever win over a Big 12 team in six tries.
