GoFrogs: TCU Women Come Up Short Against Sooners
FORT WORTH – The TCU Horned Frogs saw their six-game winning streak against the Oklahoma Sooners snapped, falling 76-60 Wednesday evening at Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena.
Tavy Diggs led TCU with 17 points on the evening, but OU's Taylor Robertson poured in a game-high 28 points, which included hitting six three-pointers on the evening.
TURNING POINT
With the help of an 18-3 run, Oklahoma outscored the Horned Frogs 23-8 in the second quarter on the way to a 39-21 lead at the break. TCU managed to net just two field goals in the frame, while OU tallied 7-of-11 from the floor overall in the 10-minute period. OU led by as many as 26 points midway through the third quarter and not even a late 12-2 TCU run could help overcome the deficit.
FROG FACTS
• For the first time this season, TCU started Lauren Heard, Michelle Berry, Aahliyah Jackson, Aja Holmes and Tavy Diggs.
• It was the first collegiate start for true freshman Aja Holmes.
• TCU fell to 10-23 all-time against OU. The Sooners picked up their first win over TCU since Jan. 4, 2018. The loss dropped the Horned Frogs to 7-9 all-time when facing the Sooners at home.
• Following three straight games shooting at least 40 percent from the floor, TCU was saddled with a 39.3 (22-of-56) shooting effort on Wednesday.
• TCU scored less than 70 points for the first time in the last six games.
• Tavy Diggs, who finished with a team-high 17 points, led TCU in scoring for the second time this season. She was two points shy of her career-high (19) in scoring.
• Diggs also tied a season and career-high with four assists.
• Lauren Heard pulled down a team-best nine rebounds, leading the Frogs on the boards for the eighth time this season. She has posted nine rebounds or more in seven games this year.
• Heard snapped a 10-game streak of scoring 10 points or more, finishing the night with nine points.
• Kayla Mokwuah finished with eight points, going 3-of-3 from the field. It was the most points she has scored against a Big 12 foe and her most points in a game since a 10-point effort against Oral Roberts back on Dec. 22.
• Amari Conn scored four points off the bench. She drained a three-pointer on the night – her fifth of the season.
• Holmes registered the first block of her career, swatting an OU layup attempt in the first quarter.
UP NEXT
The Horned Frogs (8-12, 3-12) will break from game action for the remainder of the week and will be back on the hardwood next Monday, March 1, taking on Kansas State in Manhattan, Kan. Tip-off is set for 6:30 p.m. and the contest will be televised on Big 12 Now on ESPN+.
