Kenrich Williams was stunned.
The former TCU basketball star who helped usher in a new era of success on the hardwood for the Horned Frogs, was as shocked as anyone when his alma mater was left out of the NCAA Tournament.
“I was watching everything. I knew the Big 12 tournament was going to be crucial,” Williams said before his New Orleans Pelicans played the Dallas Mavericks Monday night at American Airlines Center.
Williams has made believers out of the Pelicans’ organization, especially head coach Alvin Gentry, after he went undrafted last June and didn’t play much the first half of the season.
