By the time TCU (22-15) takes the floor for Tuesday’s matchup against Central Florida (24-11) in the NIT semifinals, the Horned Frogs will have gone a full week between games.
It marks the team’s longest break between contests since a nine-day gap during the Christmas holidays before a Dec. 30 game against Kansas. Such an extended break is rare in March. But coach Jamie Dixon said it comes at an ideal time to heal minor ailments and develop a game plan to attack a Knights’ defense that features 7-foot-6 center Tacko Fall, the tallest player in college basketball.
