The roller coaster continues for TCU women’s basketball.
- win the first 14 games
- lose the next 4 games in conference
- lose your top 3 scorers to injury
- forfeit 2 straight games (not enough healthy players)
- hold open tryouts, add 4 girls not on any ones basketball roster in 2024
- beat UCF 66-60
How do you go through the last few weeks and still come back to beat UCF? Attribute it to a coach that understands his players and players that won’t give up. He puts his team in position to win every game. First year TCU coach Mark Campbell has taken a team of young players and established players through the portal and built a program and a culture that his team supports and thrives in. Many talented teams in the Big 12 and we’ll see if the new look Frogs can keep on winning.
