TCU Men's Basketball Sets Sights on Costa Rica
The Horned Frogs are preparing for an overseas adventure that will take them from the familiar confines of Fort Worth to the sun‑kissed beaches of Costa Rica. Head coach Jamie Dixon, now in his 11th season at the program, announced that the team will play two exhibition matches on July 31 and August 5, facing off in Playa Hermosa and San Jose. The trip marks the second foreign tour in as many years, following a successful 2024 excursion that took the squad to London and Paris.
While the Horned Frogs will be stepping onto foreign soil, the core of the squad remains rooted in last season’s success. Four players return, among them three starters who helped the team advance to the NCAA Tournament. All‑Big 12 forward Xavier Edmonds headlines the returning group, joined by Brock Harding, Micah Robinson and Tanner Toolson. Their experience provides a solid foundation for the upcoming challenges.
Adding to the mix are ten newcomers who bring fresh energy and talent. Among them is Gavin Sykes, the 2026 Big West Conference Freshman of the Year, and Trent Lincoln, the highly touted junior‑college standout who finished last season as the No. 1 ranked JC player. Their arrival signals a promising infusion of depth as the program looks to build on its recent momentum.
