Head coach Jamie Dixon enters his 10th season leading TCU and has guided the program to four NCAA Tournament appearances and six 20-win seasons. His overall record with the Horned Frogs is 176-126.

Notre Dame has struggled in its first two campaigns under Micah Shrewsberry, finishing 13-20 in 2023-24, before going 15-18 last season.

In 2024-25, TCU went 16-16, placing ninth in the Big 12 Conference. The team struggled offensively with just three players averaging double digits. Guard Noah Reynolds paced the Horned Frogs with 12.5 points per game.

Despite the team’s tough season, Fighting Irish guard Markus Burton solidified himself as one of the top scorers in the country. He averaged 21.3 points per game, which was the fifth-most in the NCAA.
