TCU Women's Basketball Falls to No. 24 Oklahoma
TCU (15-7, 2-9) was unable to get back on track dropping their third straight game to No. 24 Oklahoma (16-6, 10-1) 72-55. The Frogs were able to jump out to an early 10-9 lead courtesy of a triple from Una Jovanovic. Unfortunately, that was the only lead the Frogs possessed as the Sooners took control. TCU was in striking distance for most of this game cutting the lead to 31-27 at halftime.
It was another big game for Sydney Harris, who finished with 17 points on 6-11 shooting and 3-8 from beyond the arc. It is now the third straight game she has reached double figures and has emerged quite well in the wake of all the injuries this team has suffered. She has vaulted herself into third place on the team in points per game (11.3) and can certainly be an asset when some of the reinforcements arrive towards the end of the season.
Oklahoma put it all together in the second half shooting 16-28, good for 57 percent. A 12-2 run in the fourth quarter put this game away. Every time TCU clawed its way back in, OU had a terrific response. The Frogs trailed by two early in the third quarter, but a 7-0 run had them searching for answers. It was an uncharacteristic night shooting for TCU as they shot 6-26 from deep.
TCU forward Aaliyah Roberson makes a three-point shot in the game against Oklahoma on February 7.
Aaliyah Roberson finished a rebound shy of a double-double, going for 13 points and nine rebounds. Tara Manumaleuga matched her career high in assists with eight. She's averaging 6.5 assists over the last three games.
With 1:34 to go, Mark Campbell decided to put in the four walk-ons together on the court for the first time this season. Sarah Sylvester, Ella Hamlin, Piper Davis, and Mekhayia Moore were the four added to the squad following the open tryouts. It was a really cool moment given how much these women have sacrificed in order to help out this team. Sylvester scored her first collegiate point on a free throw.
TCU will be back home tomorrow as they will host No. 7 Texas at 4 p.m. on ESPN+.
