How did TCU women’s basketball manage to secure a spot in the Sweet 16? The Horned Frogs defeated the Washington Huskies 62-59 in a thrilling overtime matchup at Schollmaier Arena, marking a significant milestone in their NCAA Tournament journey.
This victory improves TCU’s NCAA Tournament record to a perfect 10-0, showcasing their dominance this season. The Horned Frogs have also extended their home winning streak to an impressive 44 games, the best in the nation.
Despite facing challenges, including a season-low 19 points in the first half, TCU rallied to outscore Washington 42-18 in the paint. Key players like Miles, who broke TCU’s single-season scoring record with 698 points, and Bigby, averaging 21 points per game in March Madness, were instrumental in the comeback.
TCU’s overall record now stands at 31-5, with 10 wins in the NCAA Tournament and only 5 losses this season. The team has won 10 of its last 11 games, demonstrating their resilience and determination.
“Survive and advance’ has morphed into the motto of March Madness, and it’s precisely what the Horned Frogs did on Sunday at Schollmaier Arena,” a source noted after the game.
As TCU cut the deficit to just a single basket at 39-36 entering the final period, the tension in the arena was palpable. Miles steadied the Horned Frogs’ offense, ensuring they remained competitive despite the early struggles.
Looking ahead, TCU will face either No. 2 seed Iowa or No. 10 seed Virginia in the Sweet 16, with hopes of continuing their remarkable run in the tournament.
TCU’s all-time record has now improved to 737-736, a significant turnaround since Campbell’s arrival in March 2023, when the team was 64 games below .500.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the upcoming matchups, but one thing is clear: TCU women’s basketball is making waves in this year’s NCAA Tournament.
