FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) TCU announced a contract extension for coach Jamie Dixon through the 2027-28 season Friday after he led his alma mater to its first NCAA Tournament victory in 35 years.
Dixon was a player in 1987 the last time the Horned Frogs won a tournament game before they beat Seton Hall 69-42 on March 17. TCU lost to top-seeded Arizona 85-80 in overtime in the second round.
TCU bounced back strong after Dixon had a losing record for the first time in 18 seasons as a head coach in 2020-21, when the Horned Frogs finished 12-14 in the pandemic-altered season.
