TCU’s Parrish on goodwill basketball trip

Former TCU guard Brandon Parrish, who owns the school record for basketball games played in a Horned Frogs’ uniform (136), will be part of a 10-member team that will play eight games against various professional teams in the Far East as part of a goodwill tour this month.

Parrish, who played his final college game in TCU’s 88-56 rout of Georgia Tech to win the NIT championship on March 31, is competing in the 2017 Reach USA Friendship Tour of the Far East. The cultural exchange trip lasts through May 28 and the team is coached by Tom Schuberth.

Parrish, an Arlington Seguin graduate, received his bachelor’s degree in combined science Sunday. He averaged 5.9 points per game in his senior season, when the Frogs finished 24-15 and won the NIT. Parrish’s teammates on the squad include: Luke Meyer, Central Michigan; Ishmael Lane, Northwestern (La.) State; Micaiah Henry, Tennessee Tech; Jared Sam, Southern; A.J. Merriweather, East Tennessee State; Giddy Potts, Middle Tennessee; Malcolm Drumwright, Jacksonville (Ala.) State; Frank Bartley, Louisiana; and Tristan Upchurch, Trine University.
