Keep an eye on TCU

If you want a team on the move you can watch, keep an eye on TCU. This was the first season with alumnus Jamie Dixon as their helm. They did not make the NCAA (they were a bubble team), but they just hammered a good Richmond team to advance to the Final Four of the NIT. I am not saying that the Frogs will move into the top tier of the Big 12, because that is some pretty tough country; but considering how bad they have been in recent years, they are in for a very pleasant upgrade.

For the record, TCU has never been to the Final Four. They made the regional finals once (in 1968) and they have been to the Sweet Sixteen three other times, all in the 1950s. They have only made one NCAA Tournament appearance in the last 30 years (1998). So it has been a while since TCU basketball has been relevant; but stick around: that is about to change.
