Led by Maddie Scherr, the No. 17-ranked TCU women’s basketball team rolled to a third straight blowout win to open the season, 122-39 over Tennessee State on Wednesday at Schollmaier Arena.
It was the biggest margin of victory in program history.

“That was an incredible performance offensively,” coach Mark Campbell said. “The way this group shares the ball, we’ve seen it the first two games, but tonight the way we shot the ball was incredible. Seventeen 3s, this team is capable of that.”

Scherr scored 22 points and knocked down all six of her 3-point attempts in the best game of her TCU career. It was a special moment for the senior guard after she missed all of last season with a back injury.

This team may be better than last year's team. They have depth beyond the top starters, are playing fast tempo offense, have great vision, have multiple big players who are 6-7, and defense is often a full court press with blocking and rebounding at the basket. Oh, and yeah, they are making most of their shots from multiple distances. In short, they are playing WNBA-level basketball and it is getting attention.

I second this. "This team may be better than last year's team."
Sedona was in the house.
Wonder what her thoughts were.

Last year, it seemed like the rotation in the Baylor games and in the tournament got down to 7 players.
Van Lith, Conner, Prince all played heavy minutes.
This year's team has so many ready to play; so many ready to jump off the bench and make serious contributions on the floor. Swapping out a starter to someone who could be a starter is a tremendous advantage.
Campbell and staff have done great work getting this team to meld.
