About the Horned Frogs

TCU is tied with No. 14 Baylor for first place in the Big 12 standings ahead of tipoff. TCU has won 15 of its last 16 games and five of six on the road vs. Big 12 foes dating back to Feb. 5, 2025. The Horned Frogs’ average margin of victory in league play this season is 17 points. That figure increases to 17.3 points when including the Horned Frogs’ 16 conference wins in 2024-25. Fifteen of TCU’s last 22 conference victories have been by double digits. - From TCU Game Notes

Mission Accomplished
In the program's fourth annual Space Game, the 'Nauts upset Colorado 74-68 in Orlando, proving everything is better in space. Summer Yancy set a career-high with 25 points, six field goals and a game-leading five three pointers. Mahogany Chandler-Roberts produced her fifth game with 10 more points this season and her fourth in the last six Big 12 contests. The win was also in large part due to a season-best 25 points in the second quarter, outscoring the Buffs 25-10 behind a 20-2 run over a seven minute stretch. - See Page 6 For Space Game History

Yancy Fancy's the Three
With the sophomore’s previous career high of 14 left in the dust, Summer Yancy became just the sixth player in the Sytia Messer era (since 2022-23) to score 25 or more points. Yancy is now one of three players in the Big 12 to have 25 or more points, six or more rebounds, and four or more assists in a single game. The Kansas City native is now averaging 8.6 points per game in conference play.

It's Khy Time
Junior Khyala Ngodu led UCF to its first Big 12 win of the season at Arizona with a dominant 22-point, 13-rebound double-double in Tucson, also adding a team-leading five assists and four steals. The performance ranks among the best in the Big 12 this season, as Ngodu is one of four players in the Big 12 this season to secure a 20-point double-double in a conference game (Audi Crooks - Iowa State, Marta Suarez - TCU, Reese Ross - Utah). It joins a similar 21-point, 13-rebound performance against Wake Forest at the Discover Puerto Rico Shootout on Nov. 27. Ngodu is one of just 12 players in the NCAA this season to record 20+ points, 10+ rebounds, 4+ assists and 4+ steals in a single game (1 of 4 in Power 4). The junior followed it up with her second-consecutive double-double vs. Cincinnati and yet another at No. 14 Baylor (three in four games).

Harmon's Career Day
The best in a line of incredible performances to open her UCF account, Leah Harmon scored 38 points vs. Kansas on Jan. 4, a career high for the sophomore and the third most by a Knight in a single game since 1999. The total also marks the fifth most by a player in the Big 12 this season, the second most by a player in a Big 12 matchup, and is tied for the 18th most points by a player in the NCAA this season. The New Jersey native now ranks eighth in the Big 12 with 16.1 points per game.
