Three Stars

Trey Zeigler and Karviar Shepherd highlighted TCU's opening win. Zeigler proved dynamic, as well as very accurate shooting the ball. But the Shepherd stats are really exciting.

For the Cougars, senior DaVonte Lacy is their star and leader, but guard Que Johnson presents the most intriguing matchup Monday night.
