He's more of a shot
creator than playmaker and
likes to hunt for his own
shot. Isaacs is only shooting
37 percent from the field
and 32.4 percent from 3
despite averaging 7.4 at-
tempts. While Isaacs could
be more efficient, there's
no doubt he's one of the
best scorers in the league.
In the last two games
he's scored a combined 50
points in wins over Oklaho-
ma and BYU, however in
the previous two games
Isaacs shot a combined
6-of-26 from the field in a
one point win over Kansas
State and a loss to Houston.
TCU has capable defenders
that could make life diffi-
cult on Isaacs, but the de-
fense will have to remain
consistent as Isaacs will
likely put up at least a doz-
en shot attempts.

ia transfer Joe Toussaint

Frogs should be familiar

last season.
Toussaint is having the
best season of his career
as he's averaging career -
high 13.4 points and 4.2

the highest field goal per-
centage of his career.
Toussaint is not a high-
level 3-point shooter, but
he can knock them down

Toussaint could make the
most impact depending on

IMPROVED DEFENSE?
At its peak, defense was
the key to Texas Tech's
success as the Red Raiders
usually had one of the best
defenses in the country.
That slipped last season as
the Red Raiders were just
16-15 before Mark Adams
was dismissed. While
Tech hasn't returned to
elite levels defensively,
there's been noticeable
improvement in McCas-
land's first season.
The Red Raiders were
142nd in scoring defense
last season, but are cur-
rently No. 74. Texas Tech
does a good job of defend-
ing without fouling as
teams are only averaging
13 trips to the free throw
line per game, good for
top-20 in the country.
However, after holding
two of its first three oppo-
nents under 70 points
there have been a few
cracks in Texas Tech's
defense.

nents have all scored at

Texas Tech has gone 2-1
in those games, a shootout
could favor TCU.
MILLER MISMATCH?
Who Texas Tech uses to
guard Emanuel Miller will
be an interesting storyline
to follow. Devon Cam-
bridge would be a natural
choice, but the 6'6 for-
ward has been out since
December with an injury.
Isaacs and Touissant don't
have the necessary size, so
the task could fall to soph-
omore wing Darrion Wil-
liams.
Williams has similar
size to Cambridge, but is
still a slightly smaller than
the 6-foot-7 Miller. Miller
is coming off back-to-back
21 point games and has
scored 20 or more in four
Big 12 games so far. If he
can keep up his impressive
individual run then TCU
will have a great shot at
delivering Tech its second
conference loss.

Wildlife Code concerning the following
project impacting public parkland:
The City of Fort Worth is requesting
the use of a portion of Will Rogers

The proposed new easement will be
approximately 10 feet wide by 538.4

The City Forester has determined that
there are no tree impacts associated
with the proposed new easement.
Construction is anticipated to begin in
February 2024 and last approximately
