It is the tired you get when you are frustrated or disappointed.

They come from Division I schools as big as Cal and Nebraska and junior colleges as small as Frank Phillips Junior College in Borger and Colby Community College in Colby, Kan., but they are all donning the purple and white this season.And the roads traveled to get to Fort Worth for a couple of smooth-shooting, left-handed players were as different as the schools they went to before TCU.

Take Henry Salter, for instance.
