The hits keep coming for what began as the most anticipated TCU men’s basketball season in decades.
Starting center Eddie Lampkin Jr. left the team on the eve of TCU’s Big 12 championship opener for what was reported as personal reasons by Frogstoday.com. TCU (20-11) began Big 12 tournament play Wednesday evening as the No. 6 seed and facing No. 3 Kansas State (23-8) in Kansas City, Mo.
Since the news broke, Lampkin’s Instagram page posted apparent messages from coach Jamie Dixon to Lampkin’s mother, Vanessa, about her son’s desire to enter the transfer portal later this month.
