The Big 12/SEC Challenge is up next for the TCU women.

The Horned Frogs (5-1) travel to Baton Rouge on Sunday for a date with LSU (5-2), and TCU comes in an already tested team.

Aside from the Frogs’ only loss, 92-59 last week at No. 1 Notre Dame, a game which was competitive for three quarters, both SMU and Butler have pushed TCU in home wins. Most recently, the Horned Frogs battled Butler for three quarters before opening a late lead on the strength of a 28-8 fourth quarter in TCU’s 73-47 win on Wednesday.

The Frogs are feasting from 3-point range in their last four games, making 39 of their last 76 from distance, including 6 of 11 in the loss at Notre Dame.

Highly-recruited freshman guard Amber Ramirez made 5 of 8 3-pointers in the win over Butler to lead the way.

The second leg of the Big 12/SEC Challenge has TCU hosting No. 25 Texas A&M on Thursday.
