in conferences will leave C-USA trailing West
Conference should be beneficial for football and womens
basketball
The
Conference USA the Horned Frogs belong to today is not
the same conference it will be leaving behind in 2005.
Departing with the Frogs, albeit to different digs, will
be every former conference basketball champion and all
but one former football champion since TCU arrived in
C-USA two-and-a-half years ago. Replacing the crème
of the C-USA crop are five schools from less-heralded
conferences.
In
his second season as TCUs mens basketball
coach, Neil Dougherty has his players looking up to him
and believing they are capable of achieving great things.
After Mondays victory over South Florida, this has
never been more apparent. The Frogs currently own their
first-ever winning record in Conference USA (9-11, 5-4
C-USA), and have a group of teams looking up to them in
the conference standings.
