LOL, I know right? That hoops program is not good.

The chicks played em last year or the year before, maybe both. Actually lost when we were in Fort Worth. Not sure what they look like on the men's side... the Big 12 thing might help em get some recruits... or help the rest of us get more Dallas ties, heh.

Snagged this from wiki just to get an idea.. Yea, it's nothing to write home about.


TCU Men's Basketball has played since the 1908-1909 season. That first year they entered the Waco City League and left with a record of 2-3, losing to the Baylor teams and defeating the Waco High teams.

The Horned Frogs played basketball in the Southwest Conference from the 1923-24 seasons until the breakup of the conference after the 1995-96 season.

During their time in the SWC they won 10 conference titles (1931, 1934, 1951*, 1952, 1953, 1959, 1968, 1971, 1986*, 1987; * denotes shared title).

Buster Brannon owns the most wins as a coach in TCU Men's Basketball history with a career that spanned 20 years he earned a record of 205-259, a 104-144 record in SWC play, won 4 conference titles and earned three trips to the NCAA Basketball Tournament in 1952, 1953 and 1959.

The TCU Men's Basketball Team would only win one more conference championship after the breakup of the Southwest Conference. During the 1997-98 season under Coach Billy Tubbs, the team went 27-6 and 14-0 in WAC play. The team earned a trip to the Midwest Regional played in Oklahoma City, OK. They would lose in the first round to Florida State

TCU never won a title during their time in Conference USA and have yet to win a conference title in their current conference, the Mountain West Conference.

TCU's other NCAA tournament appearances occurred in 1968, 1971 and 1987.[23] Along with NCAA Tournament appearances, TCU appeared in the National Invitational Tournament six times -- 1983, 1986, 1992, 1997, 1999 and 2005.

They advanced to the quarterfinal round three times -- 1983, 1999 and 2005, but have never earned a birth to play in the semifinal round in Madison Square Garden.

Also the women's program has only been around since 1977.. it seems they make the tourney but have never advanced past the 2nd round.

I have been to bothe Mens and Womens games at TCU in recent years. Women's program is solid. Not OU solid but they can beat you on their court as we already have seen. Good coach. The men's team is a disaster (hard to watch) but they are due a coaching change soon (way too much losing) and can most likely get much better interest than ever before (due to the Big 12).
