Among the myriad reasons for inspiration in his double-double performance against Iowa, TCU guard Alex Robinson cited a pregame comment from Hawkeyes’ guard Peter Jok.
Robinson, who posted a team-high 19 points and dished out a career-high 11 assists in TCU’s 94-92 overtime victory, stepped up with what coach Jamie Dixon described as his best game of the season in lifting the Horned Frogs (21-15) to victory without injured point guard Jaylen Fisher (broken wrist). Robinson, a sophomore from Mansfield Timberview, said his biggest focus was on defense. TCU forced 17 turnovers by Iowa, eighth more than the Frogs committed (9).
