CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Andrew Goudelock scored 20 points, and the College of Charleston withstood a rally by TCU to score a 87-75 victory Sunday night in the Charleston Classic.
Charlston (2-1) jumped out to a 49-30 lead at intermission and held a 60-40 advantage with 16:14 remaining in the game, but the Horned Frogs (1-2) got back in the game with a 12-0 run over the next five minutes. With 8:30 remaining in the game, the Frogs cut the lead to five points, but the Cougars responded with Goudelock scoring on a runner from the lane, and after a TCU turnover, Tony White Jr. hit a jumper and free throw to push the lead back to 10.
The Cougars were able to connect on 8-of-9 free throws over the final four minutes to seal the victory as Charleston went on to post an 86-75 victory on its home court.
The Cougars had four players reach double figures as Dustin Scott added 14 points while Jermaine Johnson and Antwaine Wiggins notched 12 and 10 points, respectively.
