FT. WORTH, Texas -- The TCU men's basketball team will entertain Jackson State Tuesday night at the Daniel-Meyer Coliseum. The contest is set for a 7 p.m. matchup with both teams seeking their first win of the 2005-06 season.
The Horned Frogs look to rebound from last Saturday's 68-59 defeat to Tarleton State while JSU opened its season with a 94-53 loss at Oklahoma State on Sunday.
Tuesday's contest is the second of four with the Frogs utlizing the NCAA experimental rules by moving the 3-point line nine inches behind the current 3-point arc, widening the free throw lane by one foot on each side and placing a restricted area arc three feet from the center of the basket ring. The games are part of the Las Vegas Holiday Invitational.
