TCU men’s basketball coach Jamie Dixon said his team’s ability to extend its NIT run into Tuesday’s game against Richmond (6 p.m., Schollmaier Arena) by winning a road game at Iowa without starting point guard Jaylen Fisher says a lot about the team’s development this season.
The Horned Frogs (21-15) prevailed in their first game without Fisher, who will miss the remainder of the season with a broken wrist, despite watching the Hawkeyes make 16-of-30 shots from beyond the arc (53.3 percent) and win the battle of the boards, 39-32. It marked only the second time this season for TCU to win a game when the Frogs were outrebounded.
