The NCAA Tournament snub did not sit well with TCU on Sunday.
Coach Jamie Dixon felt the selection committee “penalized” the Frogs for playing in the Big 12, arguably the toughest conference in the country. Senior point guard Alex Robinson called it “a joke” that the conference had only six teams make the Big Dance.
But the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee had its reasons to keep TCU out.
“A poor road record, 3-7, no nonconference wins in the first quadrant ultimately hurt their chances,” said Bernard Muir, Stanford’s athletic director who is the chair of the men’s basketball committee.
