This Saturday (January 4th) could be an historic day in Schollmaier Arena, as the TCU Women's Basketball team takes aim at the first 15-1 start in program history. Mark Cambell's team has already matched their season best from last season of 14-1 after defeating Colorado at home 63-50.

TCU's average margin of victory at home this season has been 36.6 points, and they have held nine of their eleven opponents to under 55 points at home. Madison Conner is familiar with the Bearcats, as last season, she finished with 31 points against them and was one of five games with more than 30 points scored.

The Bearcats are a good team in their own right. They play extremely tough defense, allowing their opponents to score an average of 57.3 points per game. The Bearcats had an 11-point comeback, led by 20 unanswered points against BYU.

Jillian Hayes and Tinya Hylton will lead the Bearcats. Hayes (16.3) and Hylton (12.9) are the only members of the team to average double digits in scoring this season, with Hayes leading the team in rebounding and Hylton leading in assists.
