Preview: TCU Lady Frogs vs. Ohio State Buckeyes NEWARK, N.J. (Interstat) — A marquee nonconference clash between two of the nation’s top teams highlights the women’s college basketball slate Monday as Texas Christian faces Ohio State at Fleisher Athletic Center. The Lady Frogs (18-1), whose only loss came in overtime at Utah on Jan. 3, carry a seven-game winning streak into the neutral-site contest. TCU is coming off a 78-62 home victory over Arizona on Saturday, led by Olivia Miles’ 16 points and seven assists. Miles, a dynamic guard, has been the engine for TCU, averaging 19.3 points and 6.5 assists over her last six games. Her playmaking will be critical against Ohio State’s pressure defense. The Buckeyes (16-2) have won five straight since a December loss to UCLA, showcasing one of the most potent offenses in the country. They are averaging 92.2 points during their win streak, headlined by a 108-point outburst against Penn State on Jan. 14. Freshman phenom Jaloni Cambridge is the catalyst, coming off a 33-point, six-assist performance against the Nittany Lions. Over her last four games, Cambridge is averaging 30 points and 6.3 assists, presenting a must-see backcourt duel with TCU’s Miles. Ohio State’s high-octane attack, which also features consistent scorers Chance Gray and Elsa Lemmilä, will test a TCU defense that has held 13 opponents under 60 points this season. The game serves as a major resume-building opportunity for both teams before they return to conference play. TCU, which boasts a perfect 8-0 road record, will look to prove its elite status against a top-10 opponent away from home. Ohio State seeks a statement win to solidify its place among the national championship contenders. Tipoff is set for Monday, Jan. 19, 2026.
