TCU battled to wins at TCU’s march in Education: Miami (Ohio) and Western Michigan before falling in the National Cameron University (B.A., 1984) a hard-fought game at Maryland 85-73. When it was Invitation Tournament marked only the third time that University of Oklahoma (M.S., 1987) all over, the Frogs came out with a 21-14 record—the the Frogs reached the tournament quarterfinals in 11th 20-win season in school history and the most school history. wins for the program since 1998-99. Playing Experience: U.S. Military Academy (1980-81) The success in 2004-05 was built off of the Cameron (1983-84) Dougherty, who was hired on March 25, 2002, achievements of the 2003-04 squad, which went 7-9 as TCU’s 18th head coach, owns an overall record of in Conference USA, one of just four leagues in the Assistant Coaching Experience: 42-50 over three seasons. After a 9-19 season in his nation to receive six bids to the 2004 NCAA Cameron (1984-88) first year, Dougherty and the Frogs have bounced Tournament. In addition, TCU more than doubled its Drake (1988-89) back to go 33-31 over the last two campaigns. As a league win total from the previous season, recorded Vanderbilt (1989-93) member of Conference USA, a league that saw 17 the program’s first victory over a top-10 team since South Carolina (1993-95) teams gain postseason berths in those two years, TCU 1990, and grabbed its first conference tournament win Kansas (1995-2002) was able to muster a 15-17 conference record. since 2000 when the team bounced Marquette from the C-USA Tournament. That final Frog victory was Head Coaching Experience: In 2004-05, the Frogs reached the second round also the 1,000th win in school history and was the TCU (2002-Present) of the Conference USA Tournament for the second second in a four-game winning streak over the tradi- straight year after accumulating an 8-8 conference tion-rich Golden Eagles. record – the best since TCU joined C-USA.

Under his watch, TCU set an all-time arena attendance record when 7,267 fans crammed into Daniel-Meyer Coliseum to watch the Horned Frogs play the top-ranked Kansas Jayhawks on Dec. 1, 2003. In the first-ever visit to DMC by a No. 1 team, the Horned Frogs trailed at halftime by just one point, 39-38, to a team that ultimately advanced to the NCAA Tournament’s Elite Eight. There is no debating that TCU’s strength of schedule has drastically improved since his arrival in Fort Worth. In fact, of Dougherty’s 92 games at the helm of the program, 14 have been against top-25 teams. To compare, the Horned Frogs played just seven nationally ranked teams from the 1998-99 sea- son through the 2001-02 campaign, a span of 124 games, and played just 19 ranked teams during the entire decade of the 1990s, which included 303 con- tests. TCU’s 2004-05 schedule featured eight games against teams that reached the NCAA Tournament and 11 against NIT teams, meaning that the squad played 19 of its 35 games versus opponents that reached the 2005 postseason. 36 HEAD COACH NEIL DOUGHERTY Another tangible sign of Dougherty’s impact on All-Time Game-By-Game 2003-04 Season TCU basketball is the $6 million Ed & Rae (12-17 Overall, 7-9 C-USA) Schollmaier Basketball Complex, the newest Horned 2002-03 Season Date Opponent Result Score Frog athletics facility.
