TCU falters down the stretch, falls to No. 9 West Virginia in Big 12 opener

SPECIAL TO THE STAR-TELEGRAM

A fourth-quarter lead ultimately wasn’t enough to power the TCU women’s basketball team to an upset over No. 9 West Virginia, as the Frogs fell 87-82 Thursday night at Schollmaier Arena.

TCU (9-3, 0-1), which got off to its best non-conference start since 2003, couldn’t overcome stiffened competition, but still impressed in its Big 12 opener. The Frogs led for most of the third quarter and by five points early in the fourth quarter, but West Virginia (13-0, 1-0) scored 34 points on 10-of-14 shooting in the final period to break the Frogs’ hearts.

The Mountaineers remain the Big 12’s only unbeaten team.
