TCU basketball plays well in “secret” scrimmage against Mississippi State

By Drew Davison

It’s just a preseason scrimmage, but TCU basketball got off to a promising start by winning a “secret” scrimmage against Mississippi State on Saturday in New Orleans.

The Frogs won the unofficial game 68-67. Senior guard Desmond Bane led the team with 17 points in 33 minutes, and UT-Arlington graduate transfer Edric Dennis scored 13 in 19 minutes. Sophomore center Kevin Samuel had 10 points and seven rebounds in 30 minutes of action.

Along with Bane, Dennis and Samuel, freshman Diante Smith and sophomore RJ Nembhard were in the starting five. Freshmen guards Francisco Farabello and PJ Fuller, as well as George Mason graduate transfer Jaire Grayer, all saw extended minutes off the bench.

As a team, the Frogs shot 43.1 percent from the field (25-of-58) and 30.8 percent from 3-point range (8-of-26).

The large playoff format makes this a non-event for the press. In football how you do in a scrimmage might have a huge effect on whether or not you make the playoffs, or at least a good bowl. Four teams is just way too few.

The other thing that probably makes it a non event for the press is I’m not actually sure any of them attended.
