Baseball head coach Lance Brown said his team will have its hands full this weekend as they play arguably the hottest team in Conference USA. The TCU baseball team will be on the road this weekend at South Florida in a three-game series.
South Florida has won five consecutive games. Over that span, the Bulls swept then C-USA leader Louisville.
The Frogs (15-16, 6-3 C-USA) will take on the Bulls (18-11 C-USA) starting today at 6 p.m. Both teams are in the five-way tie for second place in the C-USA standings, one game behind the Houston Cougars.

SAN JOSE — A recurring theme of Michael Jordan’s final year with the Chicago Bulls was his desire to retire and have a potbelly.
I ran into him at a health club about six months after he quit and he proudly showed me the spare tire that was growing around his waist. Jordan didn’t mind lifting weights, but he hated any aerobic exercise that didn’t involve dribbling, he ate without conscience and he smoked lots of long, thick cigars.
