We're the top 25 team. You guys are unranked. Therefore, TCU basketball >>> SMU Basketball.

TCU fans know the ranking is temporary before they get in to conference play and the wins get tougher. Johnson does seem to have program headed in right direction like Brown does. It is progress just like SMU came close to making the NCAA tourney last year. These are steps forward. The TCU basketball team last year was equivalent of SMU football this year, probably more competitive if you look at scores/lead changes.

Basketball will still be third of the three men's TCU revenue sports, not much changing there in the foreseeable future. Baseball team will most often compete for championships, followed by football then basketball in terms of frequency.

I would have loved to play TCU as our last OOC game. Would have been nice to have a convincing top 25 w.

They wouldn't be ranked if we had played them. That's the point. They haven't played anybody and shows how stupid the rankings are because it is so superficial and doesn't take into account who you played so far.

Shows that the rankings are a joke. How many top 25 teams did we have to beat last year to get ranked?

I can't imagine there is a rational TCU fan that thinks we wouldn't beat them on any court.

They definitely dodged us this year - no doubt about it. They could have found a spot, but nobody in Ft worth was very motivated to do so.

Sad that their coach asked for a year off and they are 10-0

Thank god TCU doesn't have SMU on the schedule to drag down our strength of schedule.
