TCU at full strength, but goes flat in loss to Iowa State | Fort Worth Star Telegram
Malique Trent was back from a four-game suspension for a violation of team rules, but he wasn't able to pull TCU past the Cyclones.
TCU (9-10, 1-6 Big 12) was outshot 54 percent to 39 percent, committed 18 turnovers, had six shots blocked and went 4 for 17 on 3-pointers against the team that had given up the most 3-pointers in the league.
TCU Falls to No. 19 Iowa State Saturday | GoFrogs.com
Three solid performances for TCU couldn't overcome 50+% shooting from the floor by Iowa State.
Chauncey Collins led the Frogs Saturday with a team-high 14 points on 5-of-13 from the floor. The sophomore has now scored in double-figures in eight out of the last nine games. Vladimir Brodziansky followed with 12 points on 5-of-9 from the field, while junior Chris Washburn chipped in with 10 points and six rebounds.
The question now is: when does the success start turning into wins?
“Experience isn’t an excuse,” Johnson said. “It’s all about being able to execute defensively and offensively versus good teams, well-coached teams and good players. That’s the bottom line. We watch too much tape and break down too much tape. They’re showing when they’ve had success — whether it’s one possession versus Baylor or two possessions versus Kansas — that’s what you teach and that’s what you coach. So, painful lessons learned.”

Freshmen lead TCU to 4-0 Victory | GoFrogs.com
A quality start to the season.
In their first dual match as Horned Frogs (1-0), Alex Rybakov and Reese Stalder paired together to help secure the doubles point over the Aztecs (1-1). After TCU and San Diego State split the matches at the No. 1 and No. 2 positions, the Frogs looked to the two freshmen on court three. Down 3-0 to start the match, the freshmen had to mount a comeback and forced a tiebreaker where they dominated, 7-1, to secure the doubles point and the early lead for TCU.
Stalder continued his strong play into singles action, as he only dropped one game on his way to a 6-1, 6-0 win on court six over Cornelius Kolb. Fellow classmate Eduardo Nava made it 3-0 for TCU by downing Jonas Meinzer, 6-0, 6-2 on court five. Sophomore and No. 24 Guillermo Nuñez finished off the match for the Frogs by taking a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Milen Ianakiev at the No. 3 spot.
