TCU preparing for a basketball season to unfold much like the football season

BY DREW DAVISON

The college football season is already a success by some measures amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Every Big 12 school has played at least six games with half the league logging eight. There are schools such as Texas State that have played 11 games. Overall, for all the postponements and cancellations, the season has survived.

That gives TCU athletic director Jeremiah Donati faith that a college basketball season can be played in similar fashion. Men’s and women’s college basketball is scheduled to start Wednesday, including both Horned Frogs programs playing games at Schollmaier Arena. The women face Incarnate Word at 1 p.m., while the men face Houston Baptist at 7 p.m.

For now, TCU plans for basketball home games to be played in front of a limited capacity crowd at 25%. The 8,500-seat Schollmaier Arena should be able to accommodate approximately 2,125 each game.

2,000 good fans can make a good noise in that arena: great acoustics.

Hopefully better results than football.

Hopefully better results than football.

If the offense isn't better, it will be a long season.

It's a recurring theme...
