TOURNEY TIME
Greetings from Kansas City! Our men's basketball program opens play tonight at 6 p.m. versus Kansas State in the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship. If you can't make it here, you can watch on ESPNU. Congratulations to Kyan Anderson on receiving All-Big 12 honors for the second straight season!
DESIGN THE COURT
We're seeking your input on the design of the court at our new TCU basketball home next season. Beginning Sunday, you can visit our website (www.GoFrogs.com) to download a blank court template and start your design work. There will be some required logos and elements that must appear. Other than that, have at it! The winner will be invited to see the design being applied to the new court, as well as receiving four lower-level tickets to both the men's and women's home openers in the new facility! We look forward to seeing what you might have in store for us.
TICKET REMINDER
We very much thank all of you who have already renewed your football season tickets for the coming year. As a reminder, the renewal deadline is April 6. While everyone should have received their packets in the mail, the easiest way to renew is online. Just CLICK HERE.
BASEBALL WEEKEND PROMOTIONS
Our marketing staff has a great weekend of promotions on tap as our top-ranked baseball program hosts Baylor in the opening series of Big 12 play. First pitch Friday night is at 6:30. It will be TCU Hat Night. If you wear a TCU hat to the game, you can get popcorn at the concession stand for just $1. Saturday's 2 p.m. game is on National Potato Chip Day. The first 100 fans will receive a free bag of chips with any purchase at the concession stand. Sunday is our traditional Kids Day with a 1 p.m. start in the series finale. We'll have $1 hot dogs, pre-game inflatables, face painting and crafts among the pre-game activities. After the game, kids can run the bases and get autographs with the team.

ON THE DOCKET
In addition to men's basketball at the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship and our Big 12 opening baseball series with Baylor, we have a full slate of activity in the coming days with our sports programs.
Rifle begins competition on Friday in the smallbore at the NCAA Championships in Fairbanks, Alaska. Our men's track and field program, up to No. 15 in the national rankings, will be represented in Fayetteville, Ark., this weekend at the NCAA Indoor Championships.
Sand volleyball continues its West Coast Spring Break trip with matches today against No. 1 Pepperdine and No. 2 Florida State and tomorrow at No. 3 USC. Other matches this weekend include a contest with No. 4 Hawaii. Men's golf completes play today at the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters in Las Vegas, while women's golf begins play Friday at the Clover Cup in Mesa, Ariz. Women's tennis hits the road this weekend with matches at Kansas State and Kansas, while the men will host Michigan on Sunday at noon and Illinois on Monday at 11 a.m.
NAME THE MOVIE QUOTE
Last Week's Answer: Chevy Chase, in the 1980s classic Fletch, was pulling rank when he said, "I'm with the Mattress Police."
This Week: "What is this? A center for ants?"
COMPLIANCE CORNER
Due to the inclement weather, the Ocean State University tennis team was not able to begin its home match until 9 p.m. If the match is still being contested at midnight, is it permissible to continue or do they have to wait and resume the next day after 5 a.m.?
The teams may continue the match. NCAA Bylaw 17.1.7.6.3.1 states that countable athletically related activities may occur between midnight and 5 a.m. under the following circumstances: (Adopted: 1/16/10)
(a.) During participation in a conference championship or an NCAA championship;
(b.) Participation in any competition that begins before midnight and concludes after midnight; or
(c.) Participation in a promotional practice activity (e.g., first practice of the season)
KEEP IN TOUCH
Please let us know if you ever have any questions or concerns regarding our program. This is also your program and we value your feedback. We welcome all calls and emails.
Go Frogs!
