The Horned Frogs trailed briefly against the Jaguars, but pulled away thanks to career night from Micah Peavy in the 2023-24 season opener.
Despite a slow start, TCU handled its business in the season opener against the scrappy Southern Jaguars with a 108-75 victory.
But the lead was short-lived as TCU used a 12-2 burst to get back in front. The decisive run came with just under 10 minutes remaining. “I felt great, but I got those points because guys like JaKobe and Avery were unselfish with the ball,” Peavy said. “They found me when I cut, I felt like as a team we played very unselfish.”
Cole added another mid-range bucket and then converted a three-point play to make it 38-26 late in the first half. The power forward drilled a 3-pointer during that stretch as well and was the first Horned Frog to reach double digits. Let’s start with Nelson. The son of the former NBA All-Star has already drawn comparison to Miles and showed why in the opener. The transfer from Delaware is a compact, physical guard that seems built to score. After missing his first shot, Nelson made five in a row from all over the court. There was his spin move just before halftime that put TCU ahead by 20, he knocked down a 3-pointer and had a flashy transition dunk to finish with 11 points in the first half.
He knocked down a pull-up 3-pointer to make it 16-13 and then found Nelson for a 3-pointer to tie at up at 16. Anderson put a lot of pressure on the Southern defense with his slashing ability and if he wasn’t scoring or getting fouled he was handing out assists as he produced 15 points and five assists off the bench.
