After scheduling a non-conference matchup with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the TCU Horned Frogs have reportedly identified their next non-conference foe. TCU will take on the North Texas Mean Green at Dickies Arena on December 7th as part of a double-header already featuring a Texas Tech versus LSU contest.

It will have been almost 21 years to the date since the Horned Frogs last battled the Mean Green. The two Texan universities last clashed on December 4, 2004. In that affair, TCU bested University of North Texas by 10 points, winning 88-78. Current TCU Player Development Coach Corey Santee led the way, scoring 18 points. The 2004 matchup capped a four-year home-and-home series between the nearby schools. The Horned Frogs won three of the four matchups.

Why?

Why?

Probably because if you wanted to have a double header in the arena you would need teams that are local enough that their fans would actually travel to the game. I guess maybe they should not include TCU in this event next time because it doesn't seem like our fans care.

University of North Texas won the NIT a few years ago and is still solid

Might get an "OK" crowd, but these things really for TV.

Go Frogs!

Good matchup. Our non conference schedule is lining up nicely.
