Fort Worth city officials have scheduled a Thursday pep rally to recognize the basketball-related achievements on the national stage this spring by TCU, Texas Wesleyan and former Dunbar High School coach Robert Hughes.
The pep rally, arranged by Fort Worth mayor Betsy Price and the Fort Worth City Council, is set for 5 p.m. in Sundance Square Plaza.
Fans will have a chance to celebrate TCU’s championship in the 2017 NIT; Wesleyan’s 2017 NAIA men’s national championship and Hughes’ election to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
TCU secured the NIT title by knocking off Georgia Tech, 88-56, in the championship game on March 30 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
