For one night, TCU answered the Twitter challenge set by ESPN color analyst Fran Fraschilla, who Tweeted on Sunday, “Don’t care who wins but this is a big chance for @TCUBasketball to show on Big Monday that you are becoming a basketball school, too. You have a great coach, great arena, great league.”
All true. For one highly entertaining evening, TCU was a “basketball school.”
Seven years of genuine effort, and tens of millions of dollars invested, yielded what most casual, educated and rational observers never thought was possible on Monday night when TCU was favored by 3 points to defeat Kansas in basketball.
