tcu is the real deal. i watched most of the game. prince, van lith, conner along with the rest of that roster are tough to deal with. no wonder they beat notre dame. ku is no pushover with the portal additions to s'mya nichols. good win for your women particularly in lawrence.

Should be a heckuva showdown in Manhattan on 2/5. TCU and K State are ranked 2nd and 3rd nationally in assist-turnover ratio, so both teams have elite offenses.

But less than two years ago TCU posted the only win of a 1-17 Big 12 campaign against K State, which wound up 5-13.

The Frogs cleaned house, hired an up-and-coming coach who talked 6-7 Prince and sharpshooter Conner to join him, then spent his first off-season searching for a social-media-star to run the pick-and-roll (and take recruiting to the next level), landing Haley Cavinder before upgrading to Van Lith, with medical redshirt Maddie Scherr in the wings.

Curious how Mittie, who's been at K State for a decade now, turned around the Wildcats, who are 9th in the Massey ratings (vs. TCU at 16)?

Was reading a piece in The Athletic about the state of play in WBB. Unlike ESPN, which has the Frogs projected as a 4 seed (edit: Charlie Creme moved TCU up to the 3 line following losses by Duke & Oklahoma), the writer has the Frogs projected as a 2 based on resume to date. But he also mentioned that the Big 12 as a whole had a poor showing in OOC games outside of TCU and Utah beating Notre Dame, and he thinks that means seeding trouble if the top half of the conference starts beating up on each other. Sounds right.

So, what will it take for the Frogs to get a top-four seed and host NCAA rounds 1 & 2? Looking at the schedule, I think it means:
  • Frogs need to sweep the home-and-home with Tech, which has lost 3 straight.
  • Frogs need to at least split on the road trip to Iowa State and K State.
  • Frogs need to at least split the home-and-home with Baylor.
  • Frogs need to sweep on the road at AZ and AZ State--those teams have some of the bad losses.
  • Frogs need to win at least 2 of Utah (home), WV (home) and OK State (road).
That would get them to 26-4, 15-3 in conference, which should be enough, barring a first-round Big 12 tourney exit.

If they go 24-6, 13-5, they might need to win the Big 12 tourney.

If they split the difference, getting to the Big 12 final could do it.

The key to the Lady Frogs' postseason success is to avoid South Carolina's bracket. I would rather be a 3 or 4 seed in another bracket that does not have USC in it. If there is a rematch with them, then I would prefer it to be in the final four.

mittie has been much more conventional building it with high school recruits, then developing them in house. plus, these are all outstanding students. the whole team was 3.0+ last semester. smarts help.

serena sundell is now a senior - an excellent point guard. yoki lee at center has been around a long time due mostly to losing two season with injuries, thus the poor record a few years back. the glenn sisters came out of high school. tarin sides is a former ms. kansas hoops high school recruit. but he did get senior temira poindexter from tulsa. she's added firepower.

yes, it looks like the championship may be decided between our two schools in manhattan. wvu, isu, osu, others may have something to say about it down the road, idk? but today our programs look like sweet cream forming at the top.

For anybody watching tonight’s game, the espn feed tonight is almost unwatchable. Freezing, video cutting out, etc.

I also had to log back into both my app on my fire stick AND my iPad For espn+ app. So guessing they are having tech issues system wide or something.
