Pretty much everyone predicted that TCU would be a dangerous team this season in the Big 12 and nationally. After all, they were one egregious no-call away...
For the moment, TCU is a hurting basketball team, the promise of the season dulled by too many injuries to too many key players. Standout point guard Mike Miles and big man Eddie Lampkin each missedBy now, injuries have become a way of life. The Horned Frogs have used 13 different starting lineups in 25 games and not because coach Jamie Dixon really likes to tinker. It’s been by necessity and the chemistry that comes from having a veteran-laden team has been non-existent.
Dixon said Miles has shown progress in skill workouts and noted that Lampkin has lacked “push” because of the ankle. While much has been made of TCU’s 3-point struggles, making an average of five a game and shooting just 28.5%. The deficiency was exposed again in the loss to Baylor – the Horned Frogs don’t necessarily need to light it up from behind the arc if a healthy Miles is leading one of the most deadly fast breaks in the country. And Lampkin is a scoring threat inside at full strength.“We’re never going to be the team that makes more threes than the rest of the league,” Dixon said.
