TCU News: Future is bright in Funky Town for Hoops, Baseball drops non-conference series

Basketball:

TCU overcame a lot to make their first NCAA Tournament, and it was an amazing run. But, that won’t be enough in 2019 - they’ll want/need to win.

For coach Jamie Dixon, the most impressive aspect of the season was the roster makeup of the team. When Jaylen Fisher went down in early January, it left the Frogs with just eight scholarship players in their rotation. Minor injuries to Ahmed Hamdy and Shawn Olden left the Frogs with a two-man bench for a few games.

Going back even further, TCU was unable to practice with a full squad of scholarship players because of NCAA entanglements and injuries to five scholarship players.
