FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU women's basketball looks to snap a four-game losing skid when it hosts Kansas State at Schollmaier Arena at 2 p.m. on Saturday. The game will mark TCU's annual #Play4Kay game.
TCU (16-9, 7-7) is coming off of a tough, 66-63, loss to Iowa State on Wednesday. Kansas State (13-12, 5-9) did not play a mid-week game and most recently lost at Texas last Saturday. TCU won this season's first meeting between the two, 68-63, at Bramlage Coliseum on Jan. 24.
How to Follow
The game will be televised FOX Sports Southwest with Ron Thulin and Janice Dziuk on the call. The game can also be heard on KTCU 88.7 FM in Fort Worth, as well as online via FrogVision, with Jeff Williams doing play-by-play. Live stats are also available on GoFrogs.com, and live updates will be provided on Twitter by following @TCUWBasketball.
Special Events/Promotions
The Frogs are hosting their annual #Play4Kay game to raise awareness and money for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund and its fight against women's cancers. The Frogs will wear pink uniforms to help raise awareness in the fight.
TCU will auction off those jerseys after the game on GoFrogs.com with proceeds going to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. The Frogs will also give away free pink t-shirts to cancer survivors, free purple #Play4Kay shirts to all fans in attendance and free pink popcorn to all fans as well.
Also as part of #Play4Kay, the Kay Yow Cancer Fund has created #FT4Kay, a challenge encouraging pledges of money for each free throw a team makes in February. Based on the amount currently pledged, TCU is projected to raise the third highest #FT4Kay total in the nation. Visit pledgeit.org/tcu-play4kay for more information and to make a pledge.
Last Time Out
TCU erased a second-half deficit, but fell just short in the end of a 66-63 loss to Iowa State at Schollmaier Arena on Wednesday night. TCU was down by 11 points late in the third quarter, but quickly bounced back to take a lead less than three minutes into the fourth. An Iowa State 7-0 run then gave the Cyclones a lead TCU never retook. The Frogs had the final possession down by three points, but missed two 3-pointers.
Dakota Vann led the Frogs with 16 points, a TCU career-best, including 3-of-3 from long range. Amy Okonkwo added 14 points and Amber Ramirez had 10. Jayde Woods dished a career-high eight assists with no turnovers.
3-Pointers
1. TCU sits in a tie with West Virginia for fifth place in the Big 12 standings. TCU's 7-7 Big 12 record is tied for its best since joining the league. TCU was 7-7 in 2014-15 on its way to a 9-9 record and a tie for third place.
2. Amy Okonkwo, TCU's leading scorer at 15.4 points per game, leads all autonomy conference players with a 91.1 percent mark at the free throw line. With a 50.9 FG percentage, Okonkwo is on pace to be just the second player in Big 12 history with a FG percentage above 50 percent and a FT percentage above 90 percent.
3. Four Frogs were named Academic All-Big 12 on Thursday. Ella Hellessey and Kianna Ray earned first-team selections while Adeola Akomolafe and Okonkwo were named to the second team.
Scouting Kansas State
Since the Jan. 24 home loss to TCU, Kansas State has gone 2-3 with wins over Kansas and Texas Tech. The Wildcats most recently lost at Texas, 76-54, last Saturday and did not play a mid-week game.
Kayla Goth leads the Big 12 with 6.6 assists per game and leads K-State with 16.4 points per game. She had 17 points and 11 assists against TCU last month.
The Series
The all-time series between TCU and Kansas State is tied, 6-6, with K-State holding a 6-5 advantage since TCU joined the Big 12. The Frogs are 3-2 in Fort Worth against the Wildcats.
TCU won this season's first meeting, 68-63, at Bramlage Coliseum on Jan. 24. The Frogs took a big third-quarter lead and had to hold on as the Wildcats made a fourth quarter run.
Up Next
TCU travels to take on Texas Tech on Wednesday. The Frogs will then return home to host No. 3 Baylor next Saturday for Senior Night as Toree Thompson and Sydney Coleman play their final home game.
