Three takeaways from TCU men's basketball game at Utah​

TCU men’s basketball dropped its fourth straight game as the Horned Frogs’ comeback attempt in Utah came up short in an 82-79 loss to the Utes on Saturday afternoon.

It was a disappointing showing for the Horned Frogs (11-7, 1-4) as they picked up a bad loss for their NCAA Tournament resume. The Utes (9-9, 1-4) had been winless in Big 12 play before Saturday.

Despite trailing by as many as 14 in the first half, TCU had a chance to pull off a stunner late as a three-point play by Xavier Edmonds cut the Horned Frogs’ deficit to 69-67 with 3:23 remaining.

The Dixon time has run its course. Like him, appreciate him, but consistently mediocre seasons is not what TCU mens BB should settle for. And yes, I have been around TCU sports nearly 50 years, so I remember "what it used to be like".

I agree completely. Dixon is a first class guy, but these last few years have been such a disappointment. Same mistakes, same lack of development. Not sure if the game has passed him by, or he is just tired, or its the NIL/portal crap in college sports, but things have clearly changed for the worse.
I really hope he announces his retirement after this season or perhaps there is a "front office" position he can transition to?
Dixon is one of our TCU legends....as a player and as a coach. We need to handle this transition in a way that he and his family deserve.....not the jackass way we moved on from CGP.

Just go get a couple of NBA players. Work out a side million dollar deal with them. These days, who's going to stop us?

Our guard play is killing us the last 4 games. Here are the stats:

Harding 13-37 FG (4-19 3-point) 28 assists 8 turnovers 8.xx points a game

Pierre 15-32 (6-14 3s) 15 assists 5 turnovers 10 points a game.

That is not good enough in the Big 12.

I think a change is not without merit but I don’t think we move on from Jamie. There just isn’t enough of a feeling to fire JD because he represents the U well and the money it would take. The admin doesn’t care if we are a top 25 team or not.

If we were serious we would go after Jarrod Calhoun, Eric Olen or Josh Schertz. We aren’t so we would probably end up with a mid tier coach who won’t do any better than JD.

If you are a casual basketball fan, which most TCU fans are, you are understandably disappointed with where we are. If you are a hard core basketball fan you understand that TCU has ZERO centers playing on this team. Everybody is performing as expected, there are just no 7 footers to provide the “big” minutes needed to finish games. Sad but bottom line, coaches are paid to produce.
