Through the first 16 games of his initial season at TCU, men’s basketball coach Jamie Dixon has noticed a trend in games where the Horned Frogs have struggled.
“We’ve got three losses and each team had senior guards or very experienced junior guards on that team,” Dixon said. “And we’ve got a freshman and a sophomore that we’re counting on as our point guards. They have got to play like seniors. That’s what we’re requiring of them.”
Dixon acknowledged that a point-guard mix of newcomers to the program is “not usually a winning formula.” But he believes TCU (13-3, 2-2 in Big 12) has a unique situation with the presence of Jaylen Fisher, a freshman who is the highest-ranked recruit in program history, and sophomore Alex Robinson, a transfer from Texas A&M who is a Mansfield Timberview graduate.
