Although playing in the best basketball conference in the country prepares you for a lot, nothing compares to playing on this stage, no matter who is lining up against you. Despite the magnitude of this game and widespread media attention on the Frogs, the team appears to be locked in like never before. This may be their first full season together, but the chemistry has been there all year. This team filled with EIGHT transfer players has defied odds all season and played as a cohesive unit just as well as any other team in the tournament. The Frogs’ big man is nearly guaranteeing a big performance against the Pirates tonight, and I’m all for it. I can’t exactly put into words how important this game is not only for the basketball program but for the university as a whole.

Ninth-seeded TCU ran away from No. 8 Seton Hall in the second half, winning 69-42 in their NCAA Tournament first round game at Viejas Arena.

The Seton Hall Pirates and Kevin Willard were looking to advance in the NCAA Tournament, but could not thanks to TCU and Jamie Dixon.
Just 10 fouls between the two sides, although Seton Hall is now in the bonus with six of them. The team's leading scorer on the season is 1-for-5 so far, with most those looks being contested jumpers. Can they start making some shots, and can Rhoden stay on the floor long enough to bust out of his own slump? TCU smothered the Pirates in the first half. We'll see if this late surge carries over to the second half. He has a pair of steals already. Rhoden has checked back in, as it appears Willard recognizes his team is on the ropes. Seton Hall will likely have to hit the transfer portal hard to avoid any sort of rebuilding year. However, the ball continues to be stagnant offensively and turnovers persist. The Big 12 will move to 6-0 this NCAA Tournament. What is the future of Willard, who has been heavily linked to the vacant Maryland job? What will the roster look like with the loss of so many seniors?
In going dancing for the first time since 2018, the Horned Frogs will face off against Seton Hall.

The TCU basketball team earned its first NCAA Tournament victory in 35 years, running away from 8-seed Seton Hall on Friday night.
But the defense was the difference, limiting Seton Hall to a season-low in points and holding Rhoden to a season-low five points. It was a dominant performance for a TCU team that appears to be peaking at the right time. The Frogs built a 30-21 lead by halftime and then poured it on in the second half. And he thought about his late sister, Maggie, who played at the University of San Diego from 1995-99. The Frogs are 2-0 all-time against the Wildcats, but the last meeting between the schools came in December of 1952. The Frogs were leading 30-21 by halftime. After all, the Frogs were picked to finish eighth in the Big 12. And it’s a group that’s evolved how Dixon envisioned it when he and his staff built this roster in the offseason. And we had all kinds of adversity early, injuries, COVID, shutdown, the usual, which we all seem to get. TCU (21-12) advances to the second-round where it’ll face 1-seed Arizona at 8:40 p.m. Sunday with a trip to the Sweet 16 on the line. And proving people wrong in the process. TCU coach Jamie Dixon was a player on that ‘87 team.
