Impact Nembhard bounced back in a big way after struggling offensively against Tulsa and Liberty. He is still only shooting 16 percent from three-point range, but that will improve as the season goes on. Nembhard will have to get adjusted to being the unquestioned go-to-guy every night with Desmond Bane now out of the fold. TCU will take on Oklahoma on Sunday next.

Doubtful for Saturday Nembhard (illness) is on the COVID-19 protocol and will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Tulsa, according to Stefan Stevenson of the Texas Star-Telegram.
Impact Nembhard missed the season opener against Houston Baptist on Wednesday, but he might return to action for Saturday's contest against Tulsa if his latest tests are deemed negative. He should be treated as day-to-day and will be a game-time call for the coaching staff. Nembhard averaged 12.1 points on 32.1 minutes per game last season while starting in 28 of his 29 appearances.
