TCU forfeits their upcoming 2 games due to injuries.

Women's basketball.

15 scholarships are allowed for D1 WBB.
10 people played for TCU this past Saturday vs Houston.

Odd.

If they have 7 players they should play.
Good grief!

Kinda my thought, at least without knowing more.

during covid, didn't Mike put us up against UGA with like 60 dressed out?

Less than that.

This is becoming kind of a thing in women’s basketball. There have been a few games over the past few years that have been postponed or forfeited because a team didn’t have enough available players. Covid used to be an excuse, but that’s not an excuse anymore.

ETA: A story I read said they were down to six scholarship players. That’s still enough to play a game with a few walkons getting minutes. Sounds like they just wussed out of two probable arse kickings. Last year, Arizona State’s women’s team forfeited two games due to “lack of players.”

In Rick Ray’s first year we took 7 scholarship players to Maui. Got absolutely destroyed for three games. But we played.

Yes. But we had the option to not play. Credit to Leach, we played anyway.

Did we have a depleted roster for the bowl games that year too? The toughness installed by Leach and Mullen certainly won us some games.

Yeah, I read a couple players that played this past weekend are now injured. Thats still enough to play and have subs, but I do understand a decision needs to be made at some point to not play and risk an overuse injury to one of the remaining healthy players.

Guessing that a forfeit does not affect their rankings/ratings as much as a on the court loss.

Probably an opportunity for them to save a little money too, if we're being honest.

Less than that.

We only dressed 56 for the EB that year, and still only lost by 7, even though there was a 14 point swing in the game due to a bogus fumble call against Austin Williams on the goal line.

 

[60sdog]

Actually, the number may have been 46 instead of 56. Lots of players out with covid.

 

[Irondawg]

A lot of schools don’t use all 15 scholarships - it’s really too many. Sam only used 12 initially but now down to 10 since Parker got hurt and Thames left. When Gony got hurt that took us to 9 and we’ve played a few games at 7-8 due to other injuries

 

[Ghostman]

That's weak. Their athletics dept should not allow that, nor should the Big 12 conference office.

 

[HumpDawgy]

How many games do we have left on our athletic calendar?***

I bet against us 3 games in a row and made very easy money 3 games in a row. UNC absolutely demolished us.
