Basketball in Fort Worth has a storied past and a bright future.
Never has the case been made quite as clearly as it has been made this year, though, as a sleepy TCU program awoke in coach Jamie Dixon’s first year for its first NIT championship, Texas Wesleyan brought home an NAIA national title, and Dr. Robert Hughes was named to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Any basketball fan around town can tell you, these are not things that happen every year.
The trio of achievements was honored Thursday by the city of Fort Worth with a pep rally at Sundance Square Plaza.
