Why TCU's Jamie Dixon has concerns over NCAA's NET system moving forward

FORT WORTH -- TCU men's basketball is currently on pace to crack the NCAA Tournament in March for the second time is an many seasons after a 20-year March Madness drought. But that's not keeping head coach Jamie Dixon from voicing his concerns over recent changes to how the field of 68 teams -- including the "First Four" in Dayton, Ohio -- will be decided this year and beyond.

As college basketball moves away from the RPI rankings and onto the NET (NCAA Evaluation Tool) in filling out the bracket, the third-year Horned Frogs head coach is weary that the new system could have its fair share of unintended consequences -- including those centered around the quality of competition teams face in the regular season.
