I was reading the Go Frogs MBB pregame post and some statistics really stood out to me about the team, emphasis mine.
- TCU's newcomers includes six transfers and four freshmen. Two additional players are redshirt freshmen.
- TCU is the only team in the Big 12 with five freshmen averaging 7.0 minutes or more. No other team has four.
- Only three teams nationally have more than five freshmen averaging at least 7.0 minutes or more.
- In two of the last four games, over half of TCU's scoring has come from freshmen.
- Vasean Allette is averaging 11.7 points and 13.2 in Big 12 games, which ranks 20th.
- Allette is averaging 5.8 assists over the last four games.
- Freshman David Punch is one of five freshmen in the Big 12 averaging at least 5.0 (6.0) points and 4.0 (4.2) rebounds.
In the last game against OSU:
- The Frogs got 55 percent of its scoring from freshmen.
- Freshmen Malick Diallo (10) and Micah Robinson (13) each had season highs in points.
- TCU ranks third in the Big 12 and 46th nationally in 3-point defense, allowing 30.9 percent from beyond-the-arc.
- TCU ranks 35th in defensive efficiency at 97.7 according to KenPom. TCU finished 44th last season.
- The Frogs have committed less than 10 turnovers six times in Big 12 play.
- Last season, TCU finished the season in the NCAA Tournament for a program-best, third-straight season.
- Dixon is one of just nine active head coaches who have made at least 15 appearances in the NCAA Tournament.
- Dixon is one of 20 active D1 head coaches that has at least 500 career wins at a D1 program.
I would be the first to agree that they can be head slappingly frustrating to watch at times, but there’s a core of talented players that I bet in three years we are going to be really happy with if we can keep them together. My best guess is the team this year will at least make the CBI, and is a stretch for the NIT as we probably would need at least four or more wins for that. I know, big whup, but more playing time is important for their growth.
If you care to comment, what‘s your analysis?
