If the TCU men’s basketball team is going to take another step this season, it has to improve its defense.
There’s a reason for the cliché, defense wins championships, and TCU understands it wasn’t good enough in that department a season ago.
The Frogs ranked last in the Big 12 in field goal percentage defense (.457) and second-to-last in 3-point percentage defense (.376) and blocked shots (3.6).
Yes, TCU still managed to have a great season with the poor defensive numbers, snapping a 20-year NCAA Tournament drought. But the goal is to build on that season and make a deeper run in March this time around.
