Every four years, the NCAA allows basketball programs to travel overseas on a tour, playing games, sight-seeing, and experiencing other cultures. The men’s basketball program had that opportunity last year, but deferred with the hiring of Jamie Dixon. Doing so also allowed them the rare opportunity to travel with the women’s program, and as such, both teams will head Down Under in early August to play a series of games, including three double-headers.
On Wednesday, TCU held an open practice and interview session, where players and coaches spoke about their excitement for the trip to Australia as well as the expectations for the coming season.
