Fresh
faces fill Frogs’ rotation
Seven
of the 14 members of the TCU men’s basketball team
have yet to put on Horned Frog purple and white in a regular
season contest. With the departure of four seniors and
the transfer of two other letter-winners from last year’s
squad, the 2003-04 Frogs feature a team laden with youth
and inexperience as a group. |

Improving
the defense is key to Frogs’ success
The
2002-03 men’s basketball season marked Neil Dougherty’s
first full season as the Horned Frogs’ head coach.
At season’s end, the Frogs compiled an overall record
of 9-19, with a Conference USA record of 3-13. Dougherty
knew if the Frogs were to get back to their winning tradition,
the focus would need to be on their defense. |

Sophomore
leads team both on, off court
Head
coach Neil Dougherty, who enters his second year at TCU,
is determined to rebuild the men’s basketball program
this season. With four freshmen and two transfer players
joining the team for the 2003-04 season, the Frogs are
young, leaving Dougherty searching for players to assume
leadership roles. |

Frogs could go far
COMMENTARY
With a preseason top 25 ranking, last year’s women’s
basketball team was out to prove they belonged in the
upper echelon of programs in the country. What followed
was a sputtering start to the season that included blowout
losses to Purdue, Wisconsin-Green Bay and Texas, and a
quick fall from the top 25 ranks. |

Old
rivals face new battle
Freshmen
point guards Natasha Lacy and Adrianne Ross enter their
eighth year of playing basketball together this season,
but this is the first time they will wear the same uniform. |
