Why is ESPN’s Carolyn Peck jumping on the TCU women’s basketball bandwagon?
By David Ammenheuser
Add former college coach Carolyn Peck, now a ESPN analyst, to the TCU women’s basketball bandwagon.
On Sunday night during ESPN’s Women’s Bracketology show, she said that the Horned Frogs have opportunity of the No. 2 tournament seeds to advance to the Final Four in Tampa, Fla., in early April.
“I think TCU and I think so because of the diversity of their ability to score the basketball,” Peck said. “They have Sedona Prince inside who is a matchup nightmare because she doesn’t stay inside. She can step outside and she can shoot it. And ever since they moved Donovan Hunter into the starting lineup, that’s been an extra punch power and especially on the defensive end.”
“And can we talk about Madison Conner? Madison Conner has made a 118 three-point three this season. So they have a big three to work with. And I haven’t even talked about Hailey Van Lith.”
Prince, Conner and Van Lith were all Big 12 all-conference players. Lith was the conference’s regular-season Player of the Year and the conference tournament’s most outstanding player.
TCU opens the NCAA tournament on Friday at home against 15th-seeded Fairleigh Dickinson. If the Horned Frogs win, they will face either Nebraska or Louisville on Sunday.
