Men’s basketball plans to rely on the team’s experience and depth, while the women hoopsters increase their strength.

A quick glance at Billy Tubbs’ TCU squad says the Frogs could be in for a conference championship year. The men, six seniors and four returning starters led by senior Ryan Carroll, may have the most experience and depth in Tubb’s tenure. The fiery Tubbs also recruited UNLV transfer Greedy Daniels, who put up 17 points in his first collegiate start in a year, in a 108-44 rout over Angola.

For the TCU women hoopsters, Head Coach Jeff Mittie pushed the women through a four-day-a-week offseason weight training program that culminated in “The Night of Champions,” where senior center Karen Clayton broke the most prestigious record when she pressed 205 pounds, an all-time record for TCU women athletes. Overall, the team increased its strength by an average of 30 pounds per player.
