Preview: TCU Lady Frogs at Baylor Lady Bears WACO, Texas (Interstat) — A pivotal Big 12 women’s basketball showdown with conference title implications is set for Thursday night when the TCU Lady Frogs visit the Baylor Lady Bears at the Ferrell Center. Both teams enter with identical 21-4 overall records, setting the stage for a high-stakes battle in the league standings. The matchup features two of the nation’s top backcourts, led by a pair of dynamic senior guards. TCU’s Olivia Miles has been on a scoring tear, averaging 24.1 points over her last seven games. She is coming off a 31-point performance in a narrow 80-79 road loss at Colorado last Sunday, a game in which Marta Suárez added 20 points. The Lady Frogs have lost two of their last three, both by two points, after a seven-game winning streak. Baylor, winners of two straight, relies on the steady play of point guard Jana Van Gytenbeek. She averages 10.9 points and 5.4 assists per game, providing crucial floor leadership. In the Lady Bears’ 67-64 win over Arizona State last Saturday, Van Gytenbeek posted 13 points and five assists, while Taliah Scott led the team with 17 points. The teams’ first meeting this season resulted in a 90-45 TCU rout of Houston on Feb. 4, while Baylor handled Houston 82-66 on Jan. 27. This contest will offer a clearer measure of their relative strength. Defense will be key. TCU allows just 60.2 points per game, while Baylor surrenders 62.8. The Lady Bears, however, boast a significant size advantage in the post, which they will look to exploit against a TCU team that often plays a smaller lineup. The rematch is scheduled for March 1 in Fort Worth, making Thursday’s game critical for seeding momentum. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. CST.
