Friday evening, the TCU Horned Frogs play in an actual NCAA tournament game, a fun sentence to type, and an even more fun reality to experience. The Frogs face Jim Boehim and the Syracuse Orange, winners of an eleven-seed play-in game. TCU faced a season of runs: a hot 13-0 to start, followed by a bumpy 1-4 in conference play, and split games before winning 4 in a row before a loss at Texas Tech and a quick exit in the Big 12 tournament. TCU clearly has yet to arrive on the scene of college basketball; the program has been a trendy upset pick, and even called “the most over-seeded” team in the field by one analyst of obviously impeccable credibility and judgement.
