Why Jamie Dixon is busting with optimism after ‘healthy’ TCU holds off Texas

TCU men’s basketball coach Jamie Dixon caught himself.

He called his team a “work in progress” after the Horned Frogs held off Texas 65-61 Wednesday night at Schollmaier Arena.

Typically, a coach wouldn’t want to describe his team as such in the middle of its Big 12 Conference schedule and 18 games into the season. But that wasn’t stopping Dixon, who was energized by the win over the Longhorns that relied as much on the Horned Frogs’ defense and rebounding as it did on its league-leading offense.

“We’ve had so many changes, so many different things but where we’re at is pretty good,” said Dixon, whose team was sitting at No.
