Conner's 51 three's are nine more than the next closest player, reigning National Player of the Year Caitlin Clark. She has also played two fewer games than the top-four leaders in both categories.

- Conner has drained 19 combined 3-pointers over TCU's last two games. She hit 10 vs. Tulsa and knocked down nine against ACU. The performances rank second and third in TCU's single-game record book for most 3-pointers. Conner's 19 three's are also tied for the most in back-to-back games by any D1 player in six seasons.
