BUCK U

Nothing but Net

TCU

are

men’s basketball

trying desperately

to achieve what their counterparts on the tennis courts already have.

BY BUCK D. ELLIOTT

Universities, programs, even countries go through progressions and evolutions. TCU athletics are no different. For several years, we’ve been stalking the tennis giant growing under the tutelage of Coach David Roditi on the purple courts, and last year they finally reached their ultimate goal of winning the program’s first outdoor national championship. TCU tennis wasn’t an overnight success after Roditi took the helm, but if we’re comparing timelines, Jamie Dixon of TCU basketball should be hoping for a similar shift toward consistent playoff relevance that has yet to be realized.

The defending national champions of the tennis courts sampled bitter disappointment at the hands of second-seeded Wake Forest in the finals of the ITA indoor championships last week, hosted at SMU. The 16-team seeded tournament was divided into groups of eight in Waco and Dallas, respectively. The Frogs dispatched the hosting Bears 4-1 before beating ninth-ranked San Diego 4-2. The semifinals moved to Dallas, where TCU blanked 11th-ranked Stanford before facing the top team from the opposing bracket in the Demon Deacons

from Winston Salem. TCU had been ranked first in the tournament and in the overall ITA rankings — as they should be; they’re the defending champs — but are currently second after the championship match loss. A 5-7 loss at third-line doubles awarded Wake Forest the doubles point, and a heartbreaking third-set defeat of Jack Pinnington at first-line singles was the difference in a 3-4 match. The Frogs lost in the championship match of the indoor finals last year as well but to Ohio State. Still, after winning backto-back indoors in preceding years, Roditi’s ringers have now advanced to the finals for four consecutive seasons, a herculean accomplishment on its own. Updates out of Schollmaier Arena are not bad, per se, but akin to rewatching Friends for the 37th time. It feels familiar, and there’s plenty of feel-good plotlines, but you know how the story ends and that it’ll leave you wanting more. Jamie Dixon’s Frogs are 8-8 in conference and tied for seventh with Baylor in the group of 16 teams. The Bears have a one-game overall-record advantage, but TCU beat them straight up in Waco in late January. A .500 conference record among a familiarly loaded Big 12 is objectively good but a mark the Frogs have consistently achieved while falling short in the NCAA tournament. The fear is that they’re hurtling toward a similar fate this season.

Dixon’s dribblers capped a season sweep of ninth-ranked Texas Tech in Fort Worth last week, and they’ll have a similar

opportunity against Baylor in the penultimate conference tip next week. The Frogs are sitting ahead of all their remaining opponents — except Baylor — in the conference standings, and this squad has the opportunity to finish the season with a winning Big 12 record, something Dixon has never done.

Alas, the Frogs aren’t on anyone’s bracketology list as of now, and with their 2-7 road and 0-3 neutral-site record, plus decisive losses to the top teams in their conference, it’s not hard to see why. Baylor and West Virginia are projected to be the last two conference selections with their names called on Selection Sunday, but the two are flanking the Frogs in the current standings. You’ll know by the time this is posted and goes to press if TCU was able to notch their second win over West Virginia as the squads met in Morgantown on Tuesday. This final stretch — with some consideration for the conference tournament, as well — will be the decider if the Frogs squeak into consideration for March Madness or if they’ll accept a conciliatory bid to the NIT.

But are there considerations other than purely conference record? The Frogs, as I’ve illuminated many times in the past, are still missing a double-double center or power forward to prove a reliable life raft when guard shooting falters or TCU’s runand-shoot style is overpowered in the paint. In many ways, it seems the projections of excluding the Frogs from the tourney might be a humane way to temper fan expectations.

Though Dixon and company are on the cusp of their best Big 12 win-loss record, the reality for this squad advancing past the first round of the tournament still seems marginal at best, especially away from Fort Worth, should they even receive an invite. Is it really fair to compare Roditi and Dixon, both decorated alumni lettermen? Yes and no. Roditi took over in 2011, and it took him three seasons to build a roster to be included in the NCAA tournament, and in Year 5, the Frogs reached the semifinals. But it took another eight years to return to that level — though they regularly reached the round of 16 and quarterfinals during that stretch. Dixon arrived in 2016 and won the NIT in his first season and quenched a long NCAA tournament drought for the Frogs in his second. But in four tournament appearances, the Frogs have won only two first-round games, and it doesn’t seem that this team is equipped to improve upon that. Tennis is a smaller sport, with around 100 fewer universities fielding teams, and most definitely a less visible sport considering national attention to the collegiate game. Still, with TCU women’s basketball enjoying their best season in school history and projecting a second-seed in their tournament, and with TCU men’s tennis winning some sort of national championship for the past three seasons, I assume the pressure is mounting on Horned Frog honcho Dixon to transition from consistently competitive to actual contender. l

TCU men’s tennis fell just short of their third indoor national championship, while men’s hoops are scrapping for an invitation to the NCAA tournament.

WEEKLY LISTINGS

The List

Top resources for everything. Okay, almost everything.

By Fort Worth Weekly Classifieds

Below are some resources for your consideration, including astrology, employment, faith-based listings, services, and more in a bulletin-board-styled format. Welcome to Fort Worth Weekly Classifieds.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19)

Aries author Anne Lamott articulated a thought that’s perfect for you to hear right now: “Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.” Now is a rare time when a purposeful disconnection can lead you to deeper synchronization. A project or relationship will improve after a gentle reset. Your power mantra: “Renew yourself with quiet inaction.”

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20)

Beavers are the engineers of the natural world. The dams they fabricate not only create shelters for them, but also benefit their entire ecosystem. The ponds and marshes they help shape provide rich habitats for many other species. Let’s make beavers your inspirational symbol for the coming weeks, and build what’s good for you with the intention of making it good for everyone whose life you touch.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 20)

I predict that you will soon have reason to celebrate a resounding success. You will claim a well-deserved reward. You may even shiver with amazement and gratification as you marvel at how many challenges you overcame to emerge triumphant. In my view, you will have every right to exude extra pride and radiance. I won’t complain if you flirt with a burst of egotism. In accordance with my spirituality, I will tell you, “Remember that this wonder you have spawned will live for a very long time.”

CANCERIAN (Jun 21-Jul 22)

Spend quality time gazing into your own personal past. Meditate on how your history is alive in you today, making its imprint on all you do and say. Say prayers and write messages to yourself in which you express your awe and appreciation for the epic myth that is your destiny.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22)

I mourn the growing climate calamity that is heating up our beloved planet. Among many other distortions, it has triggered flowers to blossom during winters in the Austrian Alps—an unprecedented event. At the same time, I am also able to marvel at the strange

beauty of gorgeous flowers growing on the winter hills of ski resorts. So my feelings are mixed—paradoxical and confusing—and that’s fine with me. I regard it as a sign of soulfulness. May you be so blessed, Leo: full of appreciation for your capacity to hold conflicting ideas, perspectives, and feelings.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22)

Virgos are naturally inclined to favor order and precision, a modicum of noise and commotion in your life is often beneficial. Like background sounds that keep you oriented, minor wriggles and perturbations ensure you remain grounded. This will be extra important for you to acknowledge in the coming weeks.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 22)

What may seem like an interesting but impractical element could reveal its real-world value. You may find unexpected uses for playful features. One of your capacities has dimensions you have not yet explored, but are ready to.

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21)

You’re primed to go in quest for experiences that will open your heart to novel amazements—even as you connect with previously unknown aspects of your deep self that resonate with those experiences.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21)

What may seem to be a tedious accumulation of small, gradual victories is part of a grander undertaking. Your efforts will crystallize into an enduring foundation.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19)

A Japanese proverb says, “The bamboo that bends with the wind is stronger and more resilient than the oak tree that resists.” Challenges may emerge that inspire you to stay grounded by adapting. Your plans will become optimal as you adjust them. By trusting your natural resilience, you could find unexpected chances for interesting transformation. Your potency will lie in your ability to bend without breaking.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20- Feb 18)

Seattle’s Space Needle serves as an observation tower. It’s 605 feet high. For years, there was a restaurant with a rotating floor at the top. In its early days, the movement was so brisk that some visitors got dizzy and nauseous. Engineers had to recalibrate the equipment so it was sufficiently leisurely to keep everyone comfortable. Your current situation resembles this story. The right elements are in place, but you need to adjust the timing and rhythm. If there are frustrating glitches, they are clues to the fine-tuning that needs to be done.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20)

No other zodiac sign is more multifaceted than you. No other can operate with grace on so many different levels. I celebrate your complexity, dear Pisces, which enables you to draw such rich experiences into your life and manage such diverse challenges. These qualities will be working at a peak in the coming weeks.
