FORT WORTH - If there was any sufficient consolation for TCU basketball after being narrowly left out of the NCAA tournament nine days ago, a chance to play on the court at Madison Square Garden may have very well done the trick.
The Horned Frogs earned exactly that in their final game at Schollmaier Arena of the season Tuesday, posting a 71-58 win over Creighton to punch their ticket to the NIT quarterfinals next week in New York City.
Here are five takeaways as Jamie Dixon and Co. booked their plans to take center stage at the World’s Most Famous arena in seven days, one leap closer to cutting down the net just as they did to cap off Jamie Dixon’s first season coaching at his alma mater two years ago in 2017.
