TCU’s turnaround men’s basketball season under first-year coach Jamie Dixon will include another game in Fort Worth because the Horned Frogs handled a double dose of difficulty in winning fashion Sunday in Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
The Horned Frogs knocked off Iowa 94-92 in overtime in a second-round NIT matchup despite playing without freshman guard Jaylen Fisher, who was scratched during warmups because of a season-ending wrist injury.
But the Frogs 21-15 persevered in a loud, sold-out venue (capacity: 15,400) behind a strong offensive performance from five double-digit scorers, led by forward Vladimir Brodziansky and guard Alex Robinson. Both contributed a team-high 19 points, with Robinson adding 11 assists.
