The TCU women's basketball team is still in search of its first Big 12 win after a heartbreaking 76-75 loss Wednesday against Kansas, and will need an upset today to get into the win column.

Brittney Griner and the No. 1 Baylor Bears host the Frogs at 1 p.m. in the teams' second meeting this season.

In the first, Baylor welcomed TCU to the Big 12 with a 74-35 victory in Fort Worth. Griner put up a game-high 24 points, including a one-handed dunk that sparked a 20-0 Baylor run.

TCU would have a difficult time playing any worse than it did in that game, as it shot just 21 percent from the field, the seventh lowest in program history.

The Horned Frogs was just 5 of 32 on 3-point attempts, which have been a staple of TCU's game this season.

Baylor is riding a 52-game home winning streak after defeating Texas Tech in its last outing 89-47.

For TCU, freshman guard Zahna Medley enters the contest coming off a career game against Kansas in which she scored 35 points.

That total has only been eclipsed in conference play this season by Griner, who scored 40 points against Texas Tech on Jan. 30.
