Opening Tip
  • TCU is hunting its first 2-0 start to a season in three years.
  • Mark Campbell can become the first first-year head coach since Mike Petersen in 1996-97 and the third in program history to win his first two games at the helm with a victory over the Javelinas.
  • TCU and TAMU-Kingsville last crossed paths on the hardwood in 1981. Wednesday's meeting marks the fifth all-time contest between the two programs.
  • The Horned Frogs are 24-4 in November home games since Schollmaier Arena reopened in 2015-16.
  • A win over the Javelinas would signify TCU's 90th inside Schollmaier Arena.
  • Monday's takedown of Oral Roberts improved TCU's home nonconference record to 46-7 since 2015-16.
Frog Focus
  • TCU won its 11th consecutive season and home-opener with Monday's 76-56 win vs. Oral Roberts.
  • Madison Conner (30 points, 11 rebounds) and Sedona Prince (15 points, 10 rebounds) each finished with double-doubles against the Golden Eagles, marking the first time in the 49-year history of the program that two newcomers produced a double-double in their TCU debuts.
  • Conner's 30 points were the most in program history by a player making her TCU debut.
  • Conner became the 20th player in the history of TCU women's hoops to score 30 points in a game.
  • Conner's scoring output also signified an individual career-high.
  • Conner's 30-piece were also the second-most points scored among all Big 12 players on opening night while her 10 defensive rebounds topped the conference's individual statistics chart.
  • TCU knocked down nine 3-pointers - it's most in a season-opener since 2013 - in its rout of ORU.
  • Conner shot 6-13 from distance to lead the 3-point barrage. The 5-11 junior has now drained five-or-more triples three times in her career.
  • TCU's newcomers made early returns on Monday. The Horned Frogs' inaugural starting five was comprised entirely of transfers. Conner and Prince, along with Jaden Owens, Una Jovanovic and Agnes Emma-Nnopu accounted for 88 percent (67-of-76 points) of TCU's scoring vs. the Golden Eagles.
  • Jovanovic joined Conner and Prince as one of three Frogs to score in double figures. The junior finished with 11 points and five assists.
  • Jaden Owens dished out a team and game-high seven assists on Monday. She has now recorded seven-or-more assists 11 times over the last two seasons.
  • TCU outscored ORU by a combined 27-6 margin over the opening six minutes of each half. The Horned Frogs scored 13 of the game's first 15 points, then began the second half on a 14-4 run. TCU ultimately finished with a 43-19 edge in points between the first and third quarters.
  • The Horned Frogs limited ORU to a paltry 31 percent shooting clip (23-72) from the field and just three makes on 18 attempts from distance. TCU's field goal percentage defense was second only to Kansas State (.298) among Big 12 teams on Monday.
  • TCU assisted on 18 of its 27 made field goals on Monday. Five of the 10 Frogs who entered the game finished with at least one assist.
  • TCU was picked to finish ninth in the Preseason Big 12 Coaches Poll, ahead of Texas Tech, Houston, BYU, Cincinnati and UCF.
  • Prince was selected to the Preseason All-Big 12 Team on Oct. 3. She became the fourth Horned Frog and first since Lauren Heard in 2021 to garner Preseason All-Big 12 accolades.
  • Prince was also one of 20 centers named to the Lisa Leslie Award watch list on Oct. 20. The 6-7 graduate student is the first player in program history to receive the recognition.
