Women's Basketball Conference Slate Announced
TCU finished third overall in the Big 12 Conference in 2015.
FORT WORTH, Texas - Looking to continue to build off the momentum of a third place finish in the Big 12 Conference and the program's first postseason win since 2008, TCU learned their 2015-16 league schedule on Friday morning after the conference slate was released.
The Horned Frogs finished in a tie for third place in the Big 12 Conference a year ago after posting a 9-9 record in the nation's premier women's basketball conference under second-year head coach Raegan Pebley. The nine league wins were the program's most in its young tenure in the conference.
Eight of ten teams in the conference reached the postseason last year, including TCU's appearance in the Postseason Women's NIT. In all, the Horned Frogs are scheduled to play 18 games against teams that reached the postseason last year among the conference and non-conference slate.
TCU will open conference play on Wednesday, Dec. 30 in Lubbock, Texas against Texas Tech before returning home for a pair of games with Kansas State (Jan. 2) and Oklahoma (Jan. 6). It is the second straight year that TCU has opened league play on the road in Lubbock.
The Horned Frogs then travel to Baylor on Jan. 9 before hosting Texas Tech on Jan. 13. TCU travels to Kansas State on Jan. 16.
TCU welcomes Texas to Fort Worth on Wednesday, Jan. 20, marking the first home matchup for TCU against the Longhorns since an 64-59 win over then No. 14/13 Texas on Feb. 1, 2015 at the University Recreation Center. TCU has won two-of-three meetings in Fort Worth against the Longhorns since joining the Big 12 Conference.
TCU welcomes West Virginia to town on Jan. 24 after the Horned Frogs handed the Mountaineers, the eventual Postseason Women's NIT runners-up, a 73-63 loss in February.
The Horned Frogs then take to the road for their longest road swing of the season, traveling to Iowa State on Jan. 27, Oklahoma State on Jan. 30 and Oklahoma on Feb. 6. TCU then welcomes Baylor (Feb. 10) and Iowa State (Feb. 13) to Fort Worth.
TCU returns to Lawrence, Kansas on Feb. 17 to face the Jayhawks. The Purple and White recorded the program's first ever win in Lawrence last season in an 80-63 decision on Jan. 14, 2015.
TCU faces Oklahoma State at home on Feb. 20. Oklahoma State represents one of two ranked foes that the Horned Frogs defeated last season at home, earning a 70-66 win over the No. 16/16 ranked team in the nation on Jan. 10, 2015.
TCU then travels to West Virginia (Feb. 24) and Texas (Feb. 27) before closing out the regular season on Feb. 29 against Kansas at home.
Game times and television for league games will be announced at a later date. Dates for games are subject to change as the league's television partners make their selections for broadcast.
TCU will opens the regular season with a Nov. 13 home game versus Sam Houston State, the start of a non-conference slate that includes a trip to Texas A&M and a home matchup with 2015 national runner-up Notre Dame.
TCU returns three starters and nine letterwinners from last year's 18-14 squad (9-9, Big 12) that reached the Postseason Women's NIT and won its first postseason game since 2008.
Two all-conference selections return for the 2015-16 season for the Horned Frogs including first team selection Zahna Medley and second team honoree Veja Hamilton.
Medley, a senior and All-American candidate, is among the nation's top career scorers with nearly 1,500 points to her name. A two-time first team all-conference selection, Medley is poised to become one of the top scorers in TCU history in 2015-16. She already ranks in the top 10 in six career categories before the start of her senior season. Medley averaged a team-high 15.6 points per game last year, while dishing out 129 assists.
Hamilton, a senior and all-conference candidate, ranked second on the team in scoring at 11.3 points per contest and was the top shooter on the squad at nearly 49 percent from the field.
