Hmmmm... TCU. If they are last then there just aren't any bad teams in the league... 3 seniors in the backcourt, a stud at center, and a few guys to cycle in at the 4 and other guards to play smaller... You know Dixon will have them well coached.
Hard to believe this is what the last place team looks like....
