Is it too late for TCU to turn it around and make a March Madness run?
By Steven Johnson
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – TCU accomplished its primary goal of cementing itself as a NCAA Tournament team in the Big 12 tournament with a win over Oklahoma on Wednesday.
That is the sole reason the 60-45 defeat to Houston in the quarterfinal round may not sting too much. Defeating the No. 1 team in the country was always going be a massive challenge. Since the Cougars started their impressive run under Kelvin Sampson in 2017, the 2021-22 Memphis team is only program to beat Houston twice in the same season.
That Tigers team had a NBA Draft lottery pick (Jalen Duren), another NBA guard in Lester Quinones, a 25-year old all-conference forward plus a roster that was filled with two No. 1 recruiting classes. In other words, there’s no shame in not being able to sweep the Cougars, but the defeat itself is yet another troubling outcome over the last few weeks for TCU.
