Tell me about TCU
- Thread starter QChawks
- Start date
They have a guard who looks kinda like he's albino.
He is an albino, I highly recruited 4 star freshman albino from Tennessee he's tough. He's the kinda of gaurd we've been talking about in all these "athletic PG threads"..
Dont they have a skinny tall white guy who is pretty good? Foreign guy. Im not sure we have someone who can cover him.
I don't know about overrated. They were right about where they deserved to be, in the NIT. FYI, KenPom rankings have them at 40, with Iowa at 70. I would think Vegas will make TCU a 2-4 point favorite, even at Iowa. TCU is far better on defense than Iowa has been. I would consider this game the de facto game to get to NYC. Iowa or TCU would be heavy favorites against Oakland or Richmond.
TCU has been up and down overall on the season. 3-11 record against RPI Top 50 teams. Their best road win was at K-State. Will be a close game most likely.
Oh no, WHY??? Now we'll have 30 page threads from Cyclone fans over here.
They beat Kansas without Jackson, but then got blown out by the clowns.
They won't be favored in this game.
If we play our game, we win this by 10+ points.

I had an albino Turkey pillaging my bird feeder for a winter. A friend of mine trapped an albino muskrat once and had it mounted much to the chagrin of his then wife. She thought the money would be better spent on formula and diapers........silly woman.
'Albino' seems a little old fashioned and insensitive. I prefer 'pigmentally challenged'.
Not sure if you are kidding or not, but you raise a good point. Speaking as a father of a child with albinism, I think most people with albinism prefer to be called "people with albinism", rather than simply an "albino", because they are people and albinism is just a characteristic. For example, I'm a short person but I don't particularly want to be called "shorty".
Really amazing that the kid can play basketball at such a high level, especially guard, because people with ocular albinism (which he appears to have) all have poor vision to some degree that cannot be corrected.
But they beat us in Fort Worth and played us a tight game in Hilton. They aren't bad. Overall, very comparable with Iowa in terms of quality. As to how the teams match up, I don't really know enough about either of them to offer an opinion. Iowa has the home advantage and the depth up front; I would pick Iowa.
Texas Christian (which is redundant) University is located in Texas. Their athletic teams are called the Horned Frogs. A horned frog, or toad, is actually a lizard. But that's no biggie since TCU can't even get the color right.
This is their mascot. His name is Super Frog. No one dared simply call him Horny. Which is absolutely criminal negligence. Especially at a religious school.
Doesn't he look like a reject super villain from a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie? He even looks a little sad. He once dated this chick:
But it turned out she was a teenage dinosaur and when this happened:
It was quickly hushed up and the girl hasn't been seen since.
Luke Wilson, notably of "Idiocracy" fame, is a graduate of TCU. But that may also be redundant.
Oh no....not again...

Oh no....not again...TCU's tall guy is #10 Brodziansky from Slovenia. He's 6' 11" 220# who can step out and shoot the three at 37.9% accuracy. He has improved on all of his stats from a season ago under new coach Jamie Dixon. He averages 13.5 points with 56.1 accuracy, 77.65 in free throws, 5.6 rebounds & 2.3 blocks in 24 minutes per game. Not sure why he doesn't play more minutes as he only averages 2 fouls per game.
Fisher is going to be one of those guys that seems to be at a school forever. He is only a freshman, but is already a pain in the a$$ because he competes so hard. He played 32 minutes in the tournament game against ISU. They beat us at their place early in the year. We got them by 13 at home near the end of the season and again my 21 in the conference tournament. They are capable of beating anyone on a given day but are not yet up to the top half of the Big 12. I think Dixon will get them there.
