SPORTS Bane’s journey takes the scenic route to Big 12 Player of the Week BY GARRETT PODELL MANAGING EDITOR, TCU 360

Junior guard Desmond Bane earned his first Big 12 award for TCU this week as he was named the conference player of the week. Before he was earning accolades for the Horned Frogs, Bane wasn’t even sure if he would play college . The talented athlete from the basket- ball-crazed state of Indiana almost didn’t even wind up at TCU. Now, he’s the Horned Frogs’ leading scorer as well as one of their leaders, as TCU attempts to make a return trip to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1952-1953. “Desmond is one guy we don’t have to worry about motivation, he’s in the gym endlessly, he’s working hard, and he’s gotten better for us defensively,” head coach PHOTO COURTESY OF JOSHUA SMITH/PALLADIUM-ITEM said. “And, Seton Catholic High School basketball star and Mr. Basketball candi Desmond Bane sits in front of great grandparents Fabbie Bane and Bob Bane, right, and dog Spark on March 16 he’s a great leader.
