TCU 80, Grambling State 39
Wilkerson-Greines Activity Center
Attendance: 3,765
TCU head coach Trent Johnson
Opening statement
"For the most part, I thought once we got going we played better. We got contributions from everybody and the good thing is it's a win. We get three days off now. It's been a busy week with finals and having a couple of guys graduating, so I expected us to be a little sluggish."
On Chauncey Collins' perfect three-point night
"He shoots the ball. He's started to play really well before he went down versus Ole Miss. Grambling State can make the game ugly with turnovers, but Chauncey came in and did a good job at shooting the ball. That's what we expect of him every night."
On how this year's team compares to past ones
"Number one, we are deeper. Two, we are healthy. We are also getting the leadership from Kyan [Anderson] and Devonta [Abron], who has worked hard in practice. Are we perfect because of our maturity? No. It's nice to win and take care of the ball. We are getting contributions from a lot of people, but we have a long way to go. It's only 12 games in."
On Karviar Shepherd's role
"His role is the same. Bottom line, we are healthy, deeper and capable of playing high-caliber basketball against certain teams and certain players. Karviar's role is always the same, but we are just helping him now. We are bigger on the wing with Kenrich [Williams], Hudson [Price] and Trey [Zeigler]. We are more talented."
