TCU Adjusts to Life Without Frankie Collins in Win Over South Alabama

The Horned Frogs secured a 58-49 victory but struggled offensively after losing their leading scorer for the season.

TCU's leading scorer and point guard, Frankie Collins, is out for the season after suffering a broken foot during a loss to Vanderbilt on December 8.
Sophomore Vasean Allette stepped up in his first start, scoring 14 points, including 12 in the second half, to help TCU secure a hard-fought win over South Alabama.
TCU's offense struggled without Collins, with multiple scoring droughts and difficulty breaking down South Alabama's zone defense.
The Horned Frogs relied on strong defensive play, holding South Alabama to under 40% shooting and forcing key stops during a decisive second-half stretch.
TCU faces ongoing challenges with injuries, offensive consistency, and fundamentals like free-throw shooting and turnovers as they prepare for Big 12 play in January.
