TCU Women's Basketball Preview: Houston

The Horned Frogs are going for their third straight victory in the rematch against Houston

The last time TCU  played Houston, the team looked slightly different, even more so after losing Jaden Owens in the first quarter before falling to the Cougars 77-66.

Since then, the Horned Frogs have found their way as a team, especially with the return of the conference's top three-point shooter, Madison Conner. Since her return, Conner has averaged 20 points a game and made eight three-pointers. 

The Horned Frogs could be in for another reinforcement in the dominant force of Sedona Prince. Before being sidelined with a finger injury, Prince was the conference leader in points per game with 21.2, providing a significant presence in rebounding. 

However, Houston will be bringing their dominant player, Laila Blair; Blair averages 16.2 points per game and is lethal from beyond the arc, shooting 30% from there. 

Key To Victory

As a team, Houston surrenders many points against them, with opponents shooting over 40% against them. The Horned Frogs will look to Madison Conner and Sydney Harris to get the team scoring early. 

Record Watch

Madison Conner needs only seven three-pointers to become the all-time TCU record holder for the most three-pointers made in a season. 

Other Notable Players

• Aaliyah Roberson (TCU) - recorded her fourth double-double in the last game of the season. 
• Agnes Emma-Nnopu (TCU) - has scored 17 points in the last six games.
• N'Yah Boyd (UH) - averages ten points per game.
• Kamryn Jones (UH) - leads the team in rebounding and averages 4.2 rebounds per game. 

TCU will take on Houston at home on Saturday, February 24 in Schollmaier Arena at 6 p.m.
