TCU men’s basketball coach Jamie Dixon has employed a simple, but effective, strategy to deal with the absence of freshman point guard Jaylen Fisher during the team’s three-game surge to Thursday’s NIT championship game: More Kenrich.
The Horned Frogs’ first-year coach plans to play the Kenrich Williams card one more time, in a big way, when TCU (23-15) meets Georgia Tech (21-15) to decide the NIT championship at 7 p.m. in Madison Square Garden. Thus far, Williams has been TCU’s postseason ace.
Williams, the Horned Frogs’ 6-foot-7 guard and double-double machine, has delivered in ways Dixon could not have imagined when the season began in November.
