Season-opening stunner: TCU men’s basketball loses at home to New Orleans
Steven Johnson
After one game, TCU men’s basketball finds itself with a lot of work to do after suffering a stunning 78-74 upset to New Orleans on Monday night in its season opener.
“They outplayed us and got what they deserved,” coach Jamie Dixon said. “They outexecuted us, they out-toughed us. We weren’t ready to go I don’t know why. I didn’t like our practice yesterday or the day before. We had some decent performances in the exhibition games and scrimmages, but this was extremely disappointing to us.”
It was a shocking result for the fans who made the trip out to Schollmaier Arena, as the new-look Horned Frogs were out of sorts most of the night. Part of the struggles were due to injuries, as forward Jace Posey and center Vianney Salatchoum missed the matchup with the Privateers.
