TCU Women's Basketball Preview: Cincinnati
The TCU Horned Frogs have played ranked teams in the last three matchups and finally get a break from that streak this weekend as the team heads up north and looks to get back in the win column on the season.

Agnes Emma-Nnopu continues to shine in the absence of Sedona Prince and Madison Connor, as she led the team in points against West Virginia with 17. Emma-Nnopu has been one of the key bright spots on the team in slide, continuing to be the team leader in assists and the team's veteran presence.
The Cincinnati Bearcats will bring a star of their own in Jillian Hayes. Hayes is the team's leading scorer and rebounder, averaging 12.5 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. The Bearcats are not like the Horned Frogs regarding their style of offense, only averaging eight assists per game compared to TCU's 17 assists.
Key to victory
The Horned Frogs have played stingy defense in their tough five-game stretch and will need to continue to do that against a Cincinnati team that can sometimes struggle offensively.
