Introduction
The TCU Horned Frogs women's basketball team is making waves in the 2024-25 NCAA season, setting records and solidifying themselves as a dominant force in the Big 12 Conference. Under head coach Mark Campbell, the team has showcased elite offensive efficiency, strong defensive performances, and remarkable depth. As the Big 12 Tournament progresses, TCU remains a serious contender for a deep NCAA Tournament run.
TCU's Dominant Regular Season
The Horned Frogs finished their regular season with a perfect home record, going 19-0 at Schollmaier Arena, an achievement that has only happened once before in their 48-year history. Their dominance at home has helped them extend a 22-game home winning streak, the longest in the Big 12 Conference 【8】.
Key Performances & Players
-
Hailey Van Lith, a Lieberman Award finalist, has been a key player, consistently delivering high-scoring performances and leading the team in assists. She scored 20 points in the first half during a dominant win over Houston, shooting 7-9 from the field 【8】.
-
Madison Conner has been lethal from three-point range, knocking down an NCAA-leading 106 three-pointers this season. She is on pace to break the Big 12 single-season record for most three-pointers 【8】.
-
Sedona Prince has been a force in the paint, nearly averaging a double-double with consistent scoring and rebounding efforts 【8】.
TCU also achieved several milestones this season:
✅ 700th all-time program win
✅ 15+ Big 12 wins, only the 21st team to do so in conference history
✅ Potential No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the Big 12 Tournament
Big 12 Tournament Run: TCU Advances to Semifinals
TCU entered the Phillips 66 Big 12 Tournament as the No. 1 seed, securing a 69-62 win over Colorado in the quarterfinals. Despite a slow start, the Horned Frogs outscored the Buffaloes in the second and third quarters, using defense and key scoring from Van Lith, Prince, and Donovyn Hunter to secure the victory 【9】.
Upcoming Match: TCU vs. West Virginia
Next up, TCU will face West Virginia in the Big 12 Semifinals. Their last matchup resulted in a dominant 71-50 win for TCU, where the Horned Frogs shut down West Virginia’s top scorer, Kyah Watson. This rematch will be critical as TCU pushes for a Big 12 Championship and a high NCAA Tournament seed 【9】.
NCAA Tournament Hopes
After advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season, TCU is poised for an even deeper run this year. Their strong defensive schemes, elite shooting, and depth make them a serious contender to reach the later rounds in March Madness 【10】.
Key Factors for Success
🏀 Perimeter shooting – Conner and Van Lith must continue their hot streak from deep.
🏀 Defensive consistency – TCU must shut down elite guards like West Virginia’s JJ Quinerly to progress.
🏀 Experience & leadership – Veteran players like Prince, Van Lith, and Conner need to lead the charge in high-pressure moments.
Final Thoughts
The TCU women’s basketball team is in the middle of one of their best seasons in program history. Their undefeated home record, strong Big 12 performance, and impressive tournament run make them a team to watch as March Madness approaches. If they continue their elite shooting and lockdown defense, TCU could make a historic NCAA Tournament run and bring national recognition to the program.
