With only 16 teams left in both the men's and women's NCAA Tournaments, March Madness is well under way. But for the Horned Frogs and Lady Frogs, basketball season fizzled out in a most disappointing fashion.

Early in the season, the men's team appeared to find new life under the guidance of new head coach Jim Christian. The team jumped out to a 13-6 record, just one win shy of the 14 wins it accumulated during the 2007-08 season.

On the heels of a tough loss to then-No. 38 Duke, the Horned Frogs will try to improve their 5-8 spring record when they play host to No. 25 Virginia Tech on Friday. They will also play Columbia University at home Tuesday before taking time off for Spring Break.
