TCU Men’s Basketball Set For Tough Matchup vs. No. 1 Arizona​

The best team in America is coming to "Fort Dixon." How will the Horned Frogs respond?

Seth Dowdle

There was a universe where the TCU men’s basketball team would be welcoming the No. 1 team in the land into its home on the heels of two extremely impressive wins over programs that have won national championships in the past five years. That world, which was just six seconds from occurring on the floor of Allen Fieldhouse, does not exist. The reality that does is one that sees the Horned Frogs in need of a pick-me-up. Unfortunately for them, obtaining such a thing will be no easy task.

Given the No. 1 overall ranking that the AP has doled out to the Arizona Wildcats, it’s clear that Jamie Dixon’s squad will have its hands full at Schollmaier Arena on Jan. 10. After all, no team has risen up to beat the Wildcats so far this season, meaning that if TCU can pull off the upset, it would be making a little bit of history. Some say that it requires a miracle. Others say all one needs is a little belief. We’ll see which one is needed most when Arizona and its nation’s best basketball team arrive at the gates of “Fort Dixon.”

Neither team can throw a beachball into a swimming pool.

BS call

The first call on him was [ deposit from a bull that looks like Art Briles ]. The second call he deserved.

 

[Big Frog II]

Arizona plays really good defense

 

[froglash88]

This is a revenge game

 

[Big Frog II]

Two in foul trouble and can’t score. Not a good start.

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as PhormerPhrog]

Might stick with major league table tennis instead...

Unfortunately, our run of close games is about to end. They have way more talent than us. They have eight players who could start.
