TCU had some defensive concerns in the preseason Brock Harding said the defense took a step from the preseason but still had some hiccups, Head Coach Jamie Dixon said that the defense played good and is getting better everyday but still had too many breakdowns.<\/p>\n

Sophomore guard Gavin Sykes was out in the season opener with an ankle injury, but Coach Dixon said he should be back shortly.<\/p>\n

The win against Lindenwood marks Jamie Dixon\u2019s 200th win at TCU.\u00a0<\/p>\n
