After watching TCU play they might not even win 5 games in their conference.

They've only won six conference games in three years in the Big 12.

Well If Ben and Nic don't play they have a good chance of beating us on Wednesday. I think we would be Ok if just Ben was back (though it would be tough).

I thought Nic was definitely back for this game....is this not the case now. Don't see any new info on Ben so he may be in the dog-house for a while.

Nic could have played vs Brown. He won't miss TCU.

They played a lot of good teams, such as Kansas, close last year. Did they lose some good players?

4 starters gone from last year, this season is a rebuild, and last year wasnt all that great (18-15 overall, 4-14 in conference). They do have a couple of decent big post players, and a guard who was a top JC recruit, but this group hasnt been together long, and sometimes they flounder. I'll do a more complete report tonight.

It was such a joke that they reached top 25 last year in their OOC schedule.

Looking forward to it. I haven't seen TCU play yet this year, but I did see losses to South Dakota State and Rhode Island. So I'm guessing they have some weaknesses.
