Damion Baugh smiles and quietly says, “I should have come here earlier.”
He’s talking, of course, about TCU. The soft-spoken junior guard has been a key player on Jamie Dixon’s squad this season, averaging just under 11 points, four rebounds, and four assists in 30 minutes per contest.
His accolades this season are already well known. Baugh hit the game winner in Manhattan to beat Kansas State 60-57. He scored 23 points on the road against Iowa State, a game in which he also had seven rebounds, seven steals, and five assists.
Over TCU’s last five games Baugh is averaging 16 points per game on 47.
