TCU Women's Basketball Prepares For Road Test Against Kansas
Things just keep going South for the Horned this season. They have not won a road game yet. They have not won a Big 12 game yet. And this team just keeps getting plagued with nagging injuries. Hopefully, this narrative can change this Wednesday.
The Horned Frogs in their last matchup against Oklahoma State through three quarters held a 2-point lead. But when the fourth quarter started, the Cowgirls busted out with a 16-0 run, which ruined the Horned Frogs chances of winning.
What you can expect for this next game is more players stepping up with Knisha Godfrey and Tomi Taiwo both potentially being out. You can expect big minutes again from Emily Fisher and Tara Manumaleuga. Fisher may have only scored a few baskets, but she did a fantastic job setting her teammates by getting them good looks on offense. Manumaleuga was one of those teammates she was setting up. Manumaleuga cashed in 19 points that day. Which helped Lucy Ibeh whom also had 19 points herself.
The Horned Frogs are practically there. They just have not played a full four quarters of basketball. Its either they start to slow, or they cannot finish a game in the crunch time minutes.

- TCU shot a season-best .491 from the field (26-of-53) against Oklahoma State (02/04).
