Buoyed by five consecutive Big 12 wins, the Horned Frogs are rediscovering their rhythm at the right time because the NCAA Tournament is less than three weeks away. 

Following road losses to No. 20 Texas Tech and Colorado on Feb. 1 and 8, 11th-ranked TCU has knocked off a pair of top-20 opponents in Baylor and West Virginia, winning by an average of 13.4 points per game.

At Schollmaier Arena last Sunday, Olivia Miles delivered a heroic fourth quarter, pouring in 17 points to rally TCU from a 13-point deficit and past Iowa State 80-73, marking the Frogs’ 41st consecutive victory when reaching the 80-point mark. The defense did its part, too, holding the Cyclones’ All-American center Audi Crooks to four points in the final frame before she fouled out. 

Three days later in Cincinnati, TCU was trailing by six at halftime. Marta Suárez — who closed the game with a career-high 32 points, 26 of which came after the break — helped ignite a 60-point second-half eruption, and the Frogs pulled away 83-70 to clinch at least a share of the Big 12 regular-season title going into Sunday’s finale against 18th-ranked Baylor. 

“To win another league title, I’m so proud of this group,” Campbell said. “They’ve been grinding for the last nine months. Had this goal since June, and today we accomplished that. And we still got one more really big game coming up on Sunday.” 

The milestone was worth savoring. With the clinch, TCU became the first program in Big 12 history to win back-to-back regular-season championships within three seasons of finishing last in the conference — and the first in the school’s 49-year women’s basketball existence to claim consecutive league titles of any kind.

The history isn’t lost on Campbell. 

“It shows you what we’re building is special, that the way we’re doing this is elite. Last year wasn’t a fluke,” he said of TCU’s 2025 Elite Eight run. “The players have changed, but the standard’s the same.”

ESPN’s College GameDay will be coming to Fort Worth, with the live broadcast set to kick off from Schollmaier Arena at 10 a.m. Sunday. Both TCU and Baylor are first-timers on the nationally televised pregame show, and the stakes couldn’t be much higher: an undisputed Big 12 title on the line, senior night and an NCAA-leading 41-game home winning streak to protect.

Baylor will roll into Fort Worth winners of five of its last seven, with both losses over that stretch against ranked opponents, at Texas Tech on Feb. 18 and at home against the Frogs on Feb. 12. 

Scoring has been balanced for the Bears, with four different players reaching double figures in recent wins over Arizona and Kansas State.

Taliah Scott is the clear go-to player for Baylor on the offensive end; the junior guard’s 20.3 points per game is almost twice as many as the team’s second-leading scorer and second in the conference behind only Crooks’s 25.1. A prolific scorer since Day 1 of her college career, Scott has been held to single digits just four times in 52 games. 

Otherwise, the Bears will rely heavily on graduate guard Jana Van Gytenbeek, a National Champion from her time at Stanford whose 6.4 assists per game lead the team, and senior guard-forward Darianna Littlepage-Buggs, whose 10.2 rebounds per game are nearly two more than any other player in the Big 12. 

It’s a formidable group for TCU to close out against, and, from Campbell’s perspective, exactly the kind of opponent and occasion this program deserves. 

“The stage and how everything’s unfolded, where Baylor happens to be Baylor and there’s a league title that we’re playing for. And we have seven incredible seniors that get to play at the Scholl one last time, and so, you know, the script couldn’t be any better.”
