Over four years, four TCU seniors watched the Horned Frogs’ men’s basketball program move from humiliation to exaltation.
The seniors are Michael Williams (a 6-foot-2 guard from San Antonio), Brandon Parrish (a 6-foot-6 guard from Arlington); Karviar Shepherd (a 6-foot-11 forward from Dallas) and Chris Washburn (a 6-foot-8 forward from Grand Prairie).
During the 2013-14 season, the four witnessed no conference wins in Big 12 action. But this year, under first-year head coach Jamie Dixon, the four seniors were an integral part of one of college basketball’s biggest turnarounds.
The four played roles in the Horned Frogs 88-56 victory over Georgia Tech on Thursday night as TCU clinched the school’s first ever National Invitation Tournament title at Madison Square Garden.
