TCU is Ready to Face Syracuse in March Madness
March 16, 2018
Hello from Detroit and Little Caesar’s Arena.
Wednesday night we got a look at the city, the famous Fox Theater and a downtown Detroit that’s coming back to life – there’s a lot of construction and renovation underway in the Motor City.
It was a busy day for the Frogs. We all found out that the Frogs will face Syracuse on Friday night since Syracuse defeated Arizona State on Wednesday night 60-56 to get here.
The Orange is one of college basketball’s card-carrying big boys. Jim Boeheim has been the coach there for 42 years. They are long and big and play that famous 2-3 zone. Syracuse is not a deep team, playing just seven players. More on them Friday.
The Frogs had a great practice Thursday morning and a Shoot Around at the arena that afternoon after Coach Jamie Dixon and players Kenrich Williams, Vlad Brodziansky and Ahmed Hamdy met with the media.

I’ll have a scouting report on Syracuse Friday.
Until then,
Kick ‘Em High!
