Through the first third of the 2016-2017 season, the Horned Frogs are 9-1 and currently ranked #28 in the RPI, which is good enough for 3rd in the Big 12. TCU raced out to an 8-0 start this year under new head coach Jamie Dixon, which marks the best first year start for a new head coach of men’s basketball. Dixon has also brought home his first trophy for TCU, beating UNLV and Washington in Las Vegas to capture the Global Sports Classic title.
This start for TCU has been great, and has even merited being featured in Joe Lunardi’s Bracketology update over the past three weeks, most recently as an 11-seed.
