I would be stunned if we got blown out by TCU at Home. TCU has been good this year, but we might be giving them a little too much credit. They haven't beaten anyone that good and I know we have struggled, but I don't think they have the talent to blow us out at our place.

I am worried we could lose... We need this win to get going. And Pony^ is right we really need Shake to step up.

I would only be concerned about TCU away from home. We'll be just fine at Moody. TCU reminds me of us when we played in Garland when we hammered Rhode Island and a bunch of cupcakes to get the confidence going

He went in the locker room after. Awkward.

Yes, so much potential there. He flashed some good stuff tonight and seems to be less lost with each game.

Love Froling's vision in the post. He moves the ball quickly, too.

Stay aggressive and play fast, even in the half court. Much quicker ball movement in the second half and players weren't afraid to take a shot. They had been scared and playing not to lose ever since Michigan. Maybe this game gets them past that mindset.

Would have loved if Shake's outlet pass to Froling after the turnover would have been on target for a big Froling dunk - would have done wonders for Froling's confidence going forward.

But yeah Froling is gonna be good.

As I previously posted, I had a friend with me at one of our games. My friend had played with Koncak at SMU. He said Frohling looks much better than Koncak did at this stage of his career.

I think we need to include Froling more in the offense. GREAT passing skills for a freshman. Makes quick decisions, great ball fakes, and does not hang on too long
