‘Baylor losing in Fort Worth … ‘ TCU fans have some fun with Big 12 rival Bears loss
By all accounts, Fort Worth has done a great job hosting the NCAA Tournament this weekend at Dickies Arena.
But that didn’t prevent some fans in TCU territory from taking a few parting shots at rival Baylor’s pain.
The defending champion and the East Region’s top-seeded Bears were upset by North Carolina, 93-86, in overtime Saturday. Baylor rallied from a 25-point deficit with 10 minutes left in regulation before losing in overtime to the 8-seed Tar Heels.
Baylor is the first top seed to lose this year.
Heim Barbecue summed up much of the sentiment from TCU country with a post on Twitter. “Baylor losing in Fort Worth,” the message said, along with an image of a chef’s kiss.
The 9-seed Horned Frogs, which won their first NCAA Tournament game since 1987 Friday night, play South top-seed Arizona at 8:40 p.m. Sunday in San Diego.
