FORT WORTH, TX - RJ Nembhard sparked TCU when they needed it most, and six Frogs scored in double figures as they ran away from Sam Houston State 82-69. The Frogs advance to the second round of the NIT.
They’ll host Nebraska, after the Huskers knocked off Butler. The game will tip Sunday night at 8:30pm on ESPN U.
Nembhard scored 12 points and pulled down five rebounds on the night, but a series of plays in the second half stood out for the redshirt freshman. With TCU up 57-44 midway through the second frame, RJ took a rebound coast to coast and threw it down with authority.
