“Not the result we came here for but I’m always proud of our team and the toughness they continue to show,” TCU head coach Raegan Pebley said.

Okonkwo brought the fire to Waco, knocking down her first four 3-pointers and led all scorers with 18 points at the half as TCU (17-6, 7-5 Big 12) trailed 38-31 heading into the locker room. Okonkwo finished 9 of 13 from the floor, including going 4 of 7 from beyond the arc.
